The new K of C-produced documentary Enduring Faith: The Story of Native American Catholicism explores the rich contributions that Indigenous people have made to the Church across several centuries, while examining how Christ reveals himself through the uniqueness of every culture.

Beginning May 16, the film will air on ABC affiliated stations across the United States. To view the complete broadcast schedule, click here.

Men Share Their Stories of Becoming Knights

In these videos, Knights explain what attracted them to the world’s largest Catholic fraternal organization.

• In Jared Zimmerer’s adult years, he found that he lost the sense of brotherhood that he previously had with Catholic men. That’s when he realized the Knights of Columbus offered “a vast amount of opportunities not only for men but for their families to live and grow in the faith together.” WATCH

• When Jeremy Gay learned about the opportunity to join the Knights of Columbus at his parish, the call to be a man of action and to participate in his community was “a natural choice.” WATCH
