The River Falls Knights of Columbus launched the Knights for Dads Rally last year after reviewing the disturbing facts about fatherlessness. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly one in four children live without a father in the home. Fathers need to be more than “present” in the household; they need to be involved, but don’t always know how; and many fathers do not recognize the powerful impact they have on their children.
The morning’s theme is “Fatherhood: Man’s Highest Calling.” Doug Weiss, chair of the Knights for Dads Rally, explained, “While dads are our primary audience, God calls every man to protect, teach, mentor, support and pray for children just as God our Father loves and cares for each of us.”
The event welcomes all men – married and single, young, old and in between – to learn how to rise to the highest calling in their lives. Men of all faith traditions are encouraged to attend.
The event is sponsored by the Knights of Columbus councils at St. Bridget Church in River Falls, St. Patrick Church in Hudson, and St. Mary’s Church at Big River.
