A FATHER IS … A Protector … Involved … A Loving Husband … AND SO MUCH MORE. Fathers for Good is an initiative for men by the Knights of Columbus. There is a role only a father can fill and gifts only a father can give. In a culture that often does not favor fatherhood or masculine virtue, Fathers for Good highlights the unique contributions of men, husbands and fathers. The world would be lacking without them.
