"The Royals" Announce "We're Catholic Cool"

Online, June 1, 2011 (Newswire.com) - "Bringing Catholics back home is one of the main things we are trying to do," says Fredron DeKarlos Blackmon, Supreme Knight and Chief Executive Officer of the Knights of Peter Claver, Incorporated. "We also want to be able to keep those that are still practicing. That's why the song (I'm Catholic Cool) is going to be used during our youth conference in July."

Founded in Atlanta, Georgia to support the Catholics Come Home initiative, the mission of The I'm Catholic Cool Project is to embrace the 'wholeness' of each individual by acknowledging the need to cater to a person's spiritual, social and physical needs. During the Lenten Season they offered FREE downloads of their theme song with the same name and an ebook titled,

"why lent?
Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Lent
But Didn't Think About Asking"

Produced by the research team at "The I'm Catholic Cool Project" this book has empowered thousands of Catholics around the world to feel more confident about their faith, as they can now answer questions asked by friends and family and feel better talking about and serving the Lord.

"One of the things I like about The I'm Catholic Cool Project is that they have a very innovative approach to evangelization," says Michael Taylor, Executive Director of The Knights of Peter Claver. "We have over 18,000 members in 34 states and we are excited about introducing the Project to our members. In fact, my wife heads up the dance ministry and she is excited about learning the new line dance that The Project is introducing called 'The Cross."

Co-writer of the song, I'm Catholic Cool and "cradle Catholic," E. Walter Smith is looking forward to working with KOFPF. "When I moved to Atlanta and co-founded the Young Adult Choir at St. Anthony's I was introduced to The Knights. What impressed me the most was that they had something for everybody! Young or old, male or female if you wanted to share your talents and be a part of an historic organization within the Catholic faith you could find a place with The Knights of Peter Claver," says Smith.

The Knights of Peter Claver, Inc. is the largest historically African-American Catholic lay organization in the United States, Their purpose is to render service to God and His Holy church, render aid and assistance to the sick and disabled, and promote social and intellectual association among our members.
The Supreme Knight says, "We are glad that we can provide our membership with tools that they can use to evangelize and allow members a social connection in our service to God and each other."
