Summaries of the four international program awardees follow, along with select honors for insurance sales and membership growth, for the 2024-2025 fraternal year.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>FAITH</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Coral Springs (Florida) Council 8838</strong> organized 17 consecutive monthly Holy Hours geared toward parish youth, drawing approximately 700 people each month for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Each event included a procession around the church, escorted by a Fourth Degree honor guard, as well as praying the rosary, opportunities for confession, and praise and worship. The council also helped form a youth choir of 30 children, led by a brother Knight, to sing during the Holy Hours.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>FAMILY</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Andrey Sheptytsky Council 15804</strong> in <strong>Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine,</strong> hosted its fourth annual Knights of Columbus Cup athletic competition for more than 50 orphans and internally displaced children in October 2024. Council members collaborated with a local sports complex, teachers and a pediatrician to organize the games. The Knights set up equipment, prepared the children for each event, timed the activities, and ensured that each child was supported and encouraged throughout the games.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>COMMUNITY (TIE)</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>St. Joseph Council 11370</strong> in <strong>Maumee, Ohio,</strong> helped establish the Toledo chapter of Off the Streets in 2021 to assist hundreds of homeless individuals and families in moving into dignified housing. Knight volunteers meet with clients, manage warehouse inventory, deliver furniture and other household essentials, pray with recipients, and offer them a Bible and crucifix for their new home. Over the past year, the council contributed $10,000 toward the purchase of a new delivery truck, donated another $5,000 for operational costs, and helped purchase 20 microwaves for families in need. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Val d’Or, Québec</strong>, has seen a recent increase in the number of immigrants, including many families in need. <strong>Curé Roland Ouellet Council</strong> <strong>11078</strong> responded by establishing a thrift store to distribute clothing, shoes and more — free of charge. A local business provided space for the thrift store, and, through the K of C outreach, a local chain discount store donated racks, boxes, hangers and shelving. In 2024, Knights distributed approximately 4,000 clothing items to 100 families, many of whom were facing their first cold winter. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>LIFE </strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>St. Mary of the Hills Council 13950</strong> in <strong>Rochester Hills, Michigan, </strong>led a collaboration of 43 councils in the Archdiocese of Detroit to raise $65,000 for a new baseball field serving people with disabilities. Named in honor of Blessed Michael McGivney, the accessible baseball field features large dugouts to accommodate wheelchairs and rubberized paths to improve mobility for those using wheelchairs and walkers.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>OTHER HONORS</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Leading general agents:</strong> Kevin Pierce of Oklahoma/Kansas (209% of quota) and Mark Lewans of Saskatchewan (172% of quota)</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Leading field agents:</strong> Joe Flores of the Sandoval Agency in California (421% of quota) and Benoit Picard of the LeBouthillier Agency in Québec (393% of quota) </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Top recruiters:</strong> Brandon Chambers of South Carolina led the Order’s insurance territories, signing up 192 new members. Kirby Tenorio of Luzon South led the non-insurance territories with 513 new members.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> </section> <section class="col-article__related-articles
