Grand Knights/District Deputies should send me the following contact information for each Proposer to receive a Star Recruiter pin per member recruited: Proposer’s Name and the number of new members recruited Mailing Address Phone Email Send the information via email to membership@kofc-wa.org. As we continue to rejoice in Jesus’s victory over the forces of death, let’s remember that we must live to advance His victory in our world today. Ask Catholic Men to join the Order and be united with men of like faith who lead, who protect, who serve and who defend. Our society depends on it. In the last few weeks, I have seen many brother knights on Conservation lists in danger of being suspended. We must balance that by actively retaining existing members and bringing in new members – but we must Mentor them to ensure they stay life-long members. We have four weeks left in the fraternal year. Don’t let complacency rule your day. The devil likes nothing more than when we become complacent. I challenge you to move out of your comfort zones and invite men to become members of the Knights of Columbus, host Admission Degrees by mid-June 2019 and then mentor them to become life-long members. I’m all about breaking the kingdom of death – and I presume you are too. Likewise, let’s help build up the Kingdom of God. Vivat Jesus!

Vivat Jesus! Fraternally, Greg Gregory S. Mahoney State Advocate State Membership Director Washington State Council Knights of Columbus Membership@kofc-wa.org 425-441-8113 703-969-1888 (C)
