Publications of the Catholic Informations Service

Since its founding, the Knights of Columbus has been involved in evangelization. In 1948, the Knights started Catholic Information Service (CIS) in response to blatant anti-Catholic bias in other religious media in order to educate non-Catholics about the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church.

CIS Publication Series

Introducing the new Building the Domestic Church series, a collection of popular CIS books focused on issues of vital importance for Catholic families seeking to build up and strengthen the church at home. A special display kiosk is also offered for KofC councils promoting the series.	Based upon the Catechism of the Catholic Church, this series answers three questions of the deepest importance to any practicing Catholic, or person looking for a better understanding of our faith: What does a Catholic believe?, How does the Catholic worship?, and How does the Catholic live?
The New Evangelization Series consists of booklets focused on issues of evangelizing modern culture – a project begun by Pope Paul VI, who called for a “new period of evangelization” in his 1975 Apostolic Exhortation Evangelium Nuntiandi. The new series will draw primarily from the extensive discussion of the New Evangelization by Popes Benedict XVI and John Paul II.	The Veritas Series seeks to spread the truth about a number of topics on the Catholic faith, as well as issues facing Catholics around the world today.
