initiative to protect children and other vulnerable persons, is available
online at www.kofc.org by clicking on SAFE ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM and then the
blue box for PRAESIDIUM’S ARMATUS® SAFE ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM TRAINING. Each member is encouraged to take the
training because the Knights have programs, like the spaghetti dinner and Basketball
