A Higher Purpose
Acknowledge actions demonstrated by the commitment to the principles of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity. The Family Activity Director administers the Knight of the Month process from nomination to awarding the recipient his certificate. All Knights in good standing are eligible for this award.
Overview
Each month, the Knight of the Month Award committee selects a member whose contribution to the Church, Council and Community have gone above and beyond the norm. This award is your council’s way of saying, “Thank You for Your Efforts!”
Knight of the Month selection is based on a combination of factors, such as volunteer service hours reported each month, observed service of the Knight, and nominations made by other Knights on behalf of the individual. To be selected as Knight of the Month, each Knight should stand out as an exemplary model to others in his Church, Council and Community. He should meet the following criteria to be considered a nominee:
o Promoting the ideals of Catholic Christian Fellowship.
o Providing Service of time and talents to the Church, Council and Community.
o Practice of the Catholic Faith in thoughts, deeds and actions.
The overarching criteria to consider when nominating a Knight, is that he went above and beyond the normal duties he may have in the Council to support the Council.
Nominations should be accepted, discussed and voted upon during regular Officers/Directors meeting held each month. Nominations are due by the 15th day of the following month. Use of the Knight of the Month Entry Form is the means to be used for nominating a Knight. (see below)
Recognize the Knight of the Month in your Church, Council and community through a variety of efforts:
o Bulletin announcements
o Pulpit announcements
o Posting on your council and church website / social media pages
