Ladies' Activities

The Spouses’ Project for the Columbian Year 2010-2011

Victoire Moyen“COUP DE COEUR” for Michael J. McGivney, promoter of laity through his fraternal order of Catholic laymen; “COUP DE COEUR” for OUR FAMILIES and OUR YOUTH.

Such is the priority orientation of the Columbian organization in Quebec for the year 2010-2011.

Inspired by this double “COUP DE COEUR”, the Knights of Columbus spouses, supported by members of the “Institut de la Famille du Québec”, will center their project of the year on “The Family, the most invaluable asset” (www.institutfamille.org/cdec).

After many years when the ladies supported different humanitarian causes, they have elected to put all their efforts to better knowing the Quebec families and to help them open out and find the true values in a challenging environment.

The project will be carried out through their initiatives and will contribute towards the renewal of the organization, thus meeting the preference of our Founder: to protect and support families, the first elements of society and of the Church.
The spouses project will be financed at the Columbian regional level, and will be used to support the skilled personnel available to give shape, month by month, to this goal of the State Deputy, Mr Jean Moyen, to give the organization the strength and capacity to adjust to the changing environment which families now face, while respecting their nature, under the watchful eye of Venerable Michael J. McGivney.

This “COUP DE COEUR” will be at the center of all spouses’ activities during this Columbian year.
The Knights of Columbus spouses’ generosity and involvement are well known, and this year should again prove successful.

TOGETHER, Columbian couples ponder… and are guided into developing the theme:
“The Family, the most invaluable asset”.

May this project win all hearts and help promote the Order!
