  • COR

    Coming in 2026-2027
    in partnership with the
    KofC Madonna Council

    Blessed Michael McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus with a keen understanding of every man's call to holiness and a fatherly vocation. Cor (Latin for "heart") continues this mission by centering men's hearts on Jesus so they can be transformed by an authentic relationship with him and each other.

    Everything flows from the heart. If you get the heart right, you get the man right – a man of faith who will courageously live out the mission God calls him to.

    Christ is the heart of Cor. We invite all men to join us in uniting our hearts with His.

    Men need authentic brotherhood. Families need holy husbands and fathers. The world needs courageous men to witness to Jesus Christ.

    Open to All Men.

“If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”

— Jesus (Matthew 16:24)
