Growing in Faith Together
The Knights of Columbus exists to help Catholic men become better husbands, fathers, parishioners, and disciples of Jesus Christ.
At Dayton Council 500, our faith is the foundation of everything we do. Through prayer, formation, fraternity, and service, we seek to strengthen our relationship with Christ and encourage one another in living the Gospel.
COR
Building Catholic Men
COR is a faith formation initiative centered on Prayer, Formation, and Fraternity.
Our goal is simple:
- Grow closer to Christ
- Learn more about the Catholic faith
- Build authentic friendships with other Catholic men
- Become stronger leaders in our families and parishes
Whether you have been Catholic your entire life or are looking to deepen your faith, COR provides an opportunity to grow together.
