KOC into the Breach
“And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land…” (Ezekiel 22:30)
In 2015, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted issued a challenge to the men of his diocese to step into the breach. His exhortation, Into the Breach: An Apostolic Exhortation to Catholic Men, identifies the crisis of faith facing the Church today and presents a vision of the role of Catholic men in combatting it.
Inspired by Bishop Olmsted’s vision, the Knights of Columbus and the Diocese of Phoenix have joined together to produce a 12-episode video series, also titled Into the Breach.
