Youth Program

Today’s youth, the leaders of tomorrow, are looking for a challenge for responsibility, for faith and for trust. As Knights, it is our responsibility to provide youth with the means and the opportunities to become personally committed and involved in meeting the challenges of our times. There is a great deal more all of us can do to improve our youth programs.
