Membership allows him to experience the fraternal bond that Knights share while growing closer to his family and his faith.
Safe Environment Training for ALL
Safe Environment Training for members and guests
All members of the Knights of Columbus and other guests are encouraged to take the Safe Environment training prepared by third party provider Praesidium, Inc. Armatus software by clicking the link below.
Praesidium was started more than two decades ago in response to a request from a youth-serving organization where a volunteer sexually abused a child participant. A group of researchers at the University of Texas began assembling and analyzing the scant research available to see what could be done to prevent future tragedies. Little was published at the time that was useful at the program level; most focused on psychological testing of pedophiles.

Everyone is welcome to take this training. The Registration Code is: kofcsafe
