·Knights have nothing less than a moral obligation to have a Knights of Columbus presence in every parish.” ·A Knights of Columbus presence is establishment of the Parish Round Table program. ·Through the Round Table a council works closely with the pastor of each parish or mission that it serves. ·All Knights in a parish, regardless of their council affiliation, are part of the Round Table. ·The Round Table program makes the tremendous manpower of the Order readily available to the pastor to help him achieve his plans and goals. ·By means of the Round Table a local council may easily achieve a maximum level of service to all the parishes with which it is affiliated. ·Simply stated, the Knights of Columbus Round Table initiative provides the opportunity for brother Knights to support their parishes with the programs their pastors deem necessary. ·One fact must be made crystal clear.
·The Round Table initiative — an offer to serve — should not interfere with any existing or contemplated parish program or group. The pastor sets the programs. It is simply a matter of going to him and asking, “Father, what can the Knights of this parish do to help?”
