It is recognized that the family has the primary responsibility for the faith formation of their youth and is the central place where life and love are celebrated.

The Columbian Squires is the official youth organization of the Knights of Columbus. It is an athletic team, a youth group, a social club, a cultural and civic improvement association, a management training course, a civil rights organization and a spiritual development program all rolled into one. Recently instituted at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the Columbian Squires are designed as a leadership development program for young Catholic men, age 10-18 years old. These young men seek to understand their Catholic religion, have a strong commitment to the Church and are ready, willing and able to pattern their lives after the Youth Christ. Under the guidance of several Knights of Columbus, who serve as counselors, Squires are given the opportunity to lead, by running their own meetings, investing their own members, setting their circle's agenda and implementing their program of activities. The activities include travel, play, sports and socializing. Squires are involved in promoting vocations, marching in defense of unborn life, feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, supporting Special Olympics and promoting Catholic education, among countless other activities.
