52nd March for Life

(Letter from Knights@kofc.org)

There’s reason to be joyful as a pro-life Catholic. In our nation’s capital this morning, Knights are among the tens of thousands witnessing to the dignity of every human person at the 52nd March for Life. The Knights of Columbus has long been at the forefront of the pro-life movement, helping to organize the first March for Life in 1974 and every year since. Here’s what’s happening this week, plus ways you can get involved in local pro-life activities.

New Polling Shows a Pro-Life Consensus

This year’s Knights of Columbus - Marist Poll shows that 67% of individuals support placing legal limits on abortion, while 83% of Americans support pregnancy resource centers. Other highlights of the poll include:

• • 60% of Americans support restricting abortions to at least the first 3 months of pregnancy.
  • 82% of Americans believe laws can protect both the health and wellbeing of the mother and life of her unborn child.

A Prayerful Witness at Life Fest

Prayer is our greatest way to build a culture of life.

This year, our Order and the Sisters of Life teamed up with the Diocese of Arlington to host a new, expanded Life Fest — a two-day event before the March for Life. The goal: helping pro-life advocates prayerfully witness to the sanctity of every human person.

People of all ages gathered yesterday at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, VA, for a Night of Praise.

Watch the live stream this morning starting at 8:00 a.m. ET as Life Fest continues with a Morning Rally and Mass!

Defend Human Life All Year Long

There are many ways you can engage with brother Knights in the pro-life movement throughout the year:

• • First and foremost, join us in prayer. Download a Rosary for Life prayer card here.
  • Work with your council to provide continued support after a baby is born through the Aid and Support after Pregnancy (ASAP) program.
  • Help expectant mothers see their baby and choose life through the Ultrasound Initiative.
  • Provide financial support to our charitable initiatives, including pro-life work, by donating to United in Charity®, or by opening a donor-advised fund with the Knights of Columbus Charitable Fund, which will help you give year-round to approved pro-life organizations.

There’s plenty of work to do in the pro-life movement. Let’s continue to give a prayerful, joyful witness to the dignity of human life in 2025

 

Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Contest

The "Keep Christ in Christmas" poster contest was a huge success. Mother of Sorrows School participated in this year's contest. Semi-finalists were chosen from grades Kindergarten, Grades 1-2, Grades 3-4, Grades 5-6 and Grades 7-8 (pictures below)

 

The semi-finalists were chosen by the staff of Mother of Sorrows School and from the staff of Mother of Sorrows Church. The finalists in each category were chosen at the December 2024 council meeting. 

The finalists from each category were awarded their certificates and a small gift at the council's Christmas Party on December 15th. 

 

We wish to thank Mother of Sorrows School for their participation in this contest and offer our congratulations all who participated in this contest!
