Cor - Knights of Columbus men's formation program for all men of the parish
Cor is a national outreach, offered by parish Knights of Columbus.
In a world full of distractions, Cor reminds us we were made for relationship with God and one another. Jesus didn’t call men to follow him on their own. Instead, he formed a brotherhood of disciples, taught them the Truth and sent them out together to transform the world. At Cor, we continue that mission by walking side by side, supporting one another in our struggles and celebrating our victories in faith.
Cor is designed to help men intentionally and regularly come together to live out authentic brotherhood. It provides structured opportunities for prayer, formation and fraternity. These gatherings are not just about deepening our knowledge of faith — they’re about strengthening our bond as brothers and encouraging each other to live the life God has called us to.
Alongside brothers in Christ, men become better husbands, fathers and members of their communities.
Contact your parish Knights of Columbus leadership to participate in COR at your church, or visit the national website for more information.
