(KAIR)--The Benedictine College Knights of Columbus Council #4708, earlier this month, was awarded the distinction of Double Star Council, the international organization's top honor for local councils.
The Star Council Award recognizes overall excellence in the areas of growing membership, promoting Knights of Columbus insurance benefits, sponsoring Catholic faith formation programs and volunteering time through service-oriented activities.
This year, the Benedictine College Council performed what a release calls "phenomenal programs and activities," from partaking in multiple Eucharistic Processions and leading daily rosaries on the Benedictine campus, to hosting multiple breakfasts for students and their families and assisting other on-campus student groups with activities.
Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 years of age or older who are practicing Catholics in union with the Holy See.
