The Knights of Columbus Nativity Coloring Book Program

To promote the true spirit of Christmas in our homes, schools, parishes and communities, councils can evangelize society through their faithful acts, celebrations and a variety of activities. The Faith In Action (FIA) Family KCIC Programs include Christmas cards and products, the Poster Contest, Journey to the Inn, and more.

Unfortunately for 2022 there will be no English cards available from the card company used by the Knights of Columbus due to supply chain issues.  Ethnic Christmas cards and other Christmas products such as magnets, pins, and posters are still available and can be purchased by the council and then sold to fellow Knights, parishioners, family, and friends.  Although this program can be used as a fundraiser, it is primarily intended to evangelize by making the true spirit of Christmas available to all and providing visibility for your council and its good works.  The 2022 product brochure, council order form, and other information are available below.

The Poster Contest enables children of different age groups to communicate their artistic vision of Christmas on 11” x 17” paper, card stock or poster board. The contest can be held through a school, RE classes, or open to the children of the parish in general with submittal of the entries through the council. The council selects the winners for each age group and forwards them to me where they will be viewed and voted on by representatives of the State Council. The first-place posters by group at the state level will then be sent to Supreme for nation-wide judgment and recognition.  The First-Place 11” x 17” original posters by age group must have the name, age, address and contact number of the winner and the Council number written on the back and must be received by me at the address below or in-person no later than January 14, 2023 for consideration in the national contest.  Councils also get credit for the KCIC program if they only have the poster contest at their parish without submitting the posters for the state or national competition.

The Journey to the Inn is enacted by children in the spirit of Christmas and coordinated by the councils.  Detailed information is on the Supreme website above.  The ability to perform this program will be determined by the pastor at that time.  

Please remember to get credit for participating in these Faith in Action programs.
