Family of the Month

Each council establishes a committee to recognize a deserving Family of the Month. Each month, your council selects one family that models Christian family values and lives them every day. Once a year, each participating council also selects one of the previous twelve Family of the Month winners to represent the council as the potential State and international Family of the Year. The monthly KOC Family is chosen by the Supreme Council.

The necessary form for this recognition is the 10784 form and it can be completed by any members designated by the Grand Knight. It is an on line form and is submitted to Supreme. Its only one page and doesn’t take much time to complete. Plus, I would like a copy and your council should do this about every other month.


The following Brother Knights were selected as State Knights of the Month during the 2022-23 fraternal year:

July Rick Moser Council 4024 Charleston

August Mike Cummins Council 10884 St. Peter

September John Schrieber Council 4849 Aurora

October Deacon Jim Furey, Council 12801 Streamwood

November Mike Kabala Council 3540 Lansing

December Christopher A. Siatta Council 3540 Lansing

January Deacon Fred Maier Council 10884 St. Peter

February Mike Cittadino Council 14171 St. Raphael


Knight of the Month
Using the 10784 form, you can recognize a member who has done something extra or special this month. Your council should have at least 9 men nominated during the year. The guy that washes dishes is also a good pick as is the father in your Family of the Month nomination. This form gets sent to STATE office. State will send me a copy. Each month State will recognize a Knight of the Month with a certificate to be presented by the Grand Knight or District Deputy.
