STATE GROWTH REPORT

Growth in the diocese has been trending in a very positive direction the last couple of months. Currently, we are almost 82% of our adjusted goal with 251 new brothers. We are remaining steady at 3.58% growth since July 1’s membership numbers. Ohio is just under 80% of adjusted goal with 1,348 new members. There is still two months left of the fraternal year. So, keep the pedal to the metal and bring in those new members.

As far as we know, the free dues promo will end on June 30, 2023 unless Supreme decides to continue the program. This is a perfect opportunity to as that brother sitting next to you at Mass or helping out with the planning of your church festival, to come and join the Knights of Columbus. Where else can you put your faith into action and have fun doing it at the same time!

As our Worthy State Membership Director reminds us, “If you don’t ask, they will not join.” Ask time so that you can all share in the experience of a life time.

The Wednesday Online Exemplifications will continue through June 30. Councils are encouraged to start their own Exemplification Teams. However, if you would like, our Diocesan Team is always available. Joe Vallowe (15901) would be glad to coordinate with you. Let us know!
