For Men
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.
That Man Is You! exists to encourage men to grow into authentic manhood by living their lives for Jesus Christ and to become servant-leaders in their families, the Catholic Church and the community. This program is currently being offered at 15 parishes in our diocese with 25 total parishes active in the past 15 years. Independent research by a Faith Advisor from the Gallup Poll reveals “That Man Is You!” to be one of the most life-transforming programs ever studied. Their research indicates that men entering the program in the bottom quarter on the Gallup Poll Spirit Commitment Index frequently finish the program 26 weeks later, “well into the top quarter.”
Getting Started
All you need is 3-5 interested men who will form a leadership team. The entire program operates without the need of the pastor's direct involvement and it does not require any significant resources from your parish other than space for men to meet each week. Parish grants are also available to help parishes get started with promotion materials, etc.
Band of Brothers
The purpose of Band of Brothers can best be summed up in Proverbs 27:17- As iron sharpens iron, so does one man sharpen another.
BoB is a group of single, young adult men striving for growth in Christ through fraternity, formation, and accountability.
We work in small and large groups in a myriad of scenarios. Our events include the following: men's socials, co-ed socials, guest speaker lecture series, small group discussions on current events and topics, and manly Christian character formation evenings. We also have done book clubs, softball teams, and gone on retreat together. There is always a time to turn your life around and there is no better time than the present.
Band of Brothers is a City on a Hill young adult ministry, of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph.
