Into the Breach

The Call to Defend Our Faith in the Modern World

In a world increasingly marked by secularism and moral confusion, Catholic men are called to step boldly into the breach. The Knights of Columbus initiative, Into the Breach, offers a powerful framework for this mission, encouraging men to embrace their identity as defenders of the faith and protectors of their families, parishes, and communities. Inspired by the Apostolic Exhortation of Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted, this program challenges us to deepen our relationship with Christ, strengthen our Catholic identity, and become spiritual leaders in a society desperate for authentic witnesses to truth and virtue.

The Into the Breach series provides practical tools and inspiration for men to live their faith courageously in everyday life. With 12 engaging video episodes, this initiative explores key topics such as leadership, fatherhood, brotherhood, and the battle for virtue. Each video is accompanied by a discussion guide, making it ideal for men’s groups, councils, or personal reflection. By engaging with this program, Knights and Catholic men are equipped to address the challenges of modern culture and build a life firmly rooted in faith, hope, and charity. Together, we can answer the call to be spiritual warriors, standing in the gap for our families and communities.

We invite all members of our council to participate in this transformative journey. Whether you join a group discussion, watch the videos with your family, or reflect on the content individually, Into the Breach provides an opportunity to grow in faith and fraternity. Let us heed the call to strengthen our spiritual lives and unite as Catholic men, ready to defend our faith in the face of adversity. Together, we can fulfill the mission of the Knights of Columbus: to be the men God has called us to be, making a lasting impact on our world and building a legacy of faith for generations to come.
