I have noticed the absence of younger people in Church membership groups (Knights of Columbus, at retreats, Holy Name and Altar Societies are done gone with the wind

Sad, but true. In our parish, the Rosary Society is the hospitality committee. It does NOT pray the Rosary! I refused to join.

Yours is a great opportunity.

Begin distributing handouts on the Rosary - copy them from the web. Do it weekly. Watch for incremental changes. The Rosary and a Latin/English Sunday Missal ( in the anticipation of a return to oldest of Roman Catholic traditions ) are two wonderful gifts the hospitality committee can buy, and distribute freely to interested parishioners of your parish.

Create the interest.

Shake off the stagnation of a passive-social parish in favor of an active faith-based parish. You have been blessed with a task. Go with it!
