The 'Traveling Gavel' is a program designed to help Councils of the Knights of Columbus to have more interaction and build ties between parishes. It starts from the State meetings, and they are presented to the District Deputies, who then presents it to a Grand Knight of one of his Councils, and then it is passed from Council to Council through the year, and returned at the mid-year meeting.
