The Knights of Columbus Star Council Award:
A Prestigious Honor for Service and Growth
Saint Andrews Catholic church Knight of Columbus is proud to receive the Columbus Star Council Award for 2024
The Knights of Columbus Star Council Award is one of the most prestigious honors a local council can achieve. This award recognizes councils that demonstrate excellence in membership growth, charitable outreach, fraternal programs, and insurance participation. Achieving Star Council status is a testament to a council’s commitment to the core values of the Knights: charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism.
Criteria for the Star Council Award
To earn the Star Council Award, a council must meet several key benchmarks in three primary categories:
- Membership Growth – Councils must achieve their membership quota, typically a percentage increase based on their current membership. This encourages councils to recruit and retain active members who contribute to the organization’s mission.
- Insurance Participation – Councils must promote the Knights of Columbus insurance program and reach a designated quota of insurance members. This ensures that families of Knights are financially protected while supporting the organization’s financial stability.
- Columbian Award Programs – Councils must conduct a variety of faith-based, family, community, and life programs throughout the year. These programs align with the Faith in Action initiative, which focuses on strengthening the spiritual and social life of Knights and their communities.
Additionally, councils must be in good standing with Supreme Council requirements, including the timely submission of reports and adherence to safe environment compliance policies.
The Impact of Star Council Status
Earning the Star Council Award signifies a vibrant, active, and engaged council. These councils are known for their dedication to parish life, charitable service, and strong brotherhood among members. The award also helps councils gain recognition within their diocese and community, attracting new members who want to be part of a successful and service-driven organization.
For councils seeking to achieve this prestigious award, the key is consistent effort in recruitment, program development, and engagement with Knights of Columbus insurance benefits. By striving for excellence in these areas, councils not only earn recognition but also strengthen their impact on the Church and society.
Conclusion
The Knights of Columbus Star Council Award is more than just a title—it is a reflection of a council’s commitment to faith, service, and fraternity. Councils that earn this distinction embody the true mission of the Knights and set an example for others to follow. By working together toward this goal, councils continue to grow, serve, and inspire their members and communities.
