| The tireless work of Knights of Columbus around the world bears witness to the dignity of every human life. Advocating for the right to life of unborn children and the needs of pregnant women, thousands of Knights and their families recently took part in the 50th annual March for Life in Washington, D.C.; the Order also partnered with Sisters of Life to welcome more than 4,000 young people to Life Fest and celebrate vital truths about life and love. Meanwhile, the Knights’ ongoing humanitarian efforts in Ukraine include delivering wheelchairs to those in need and affirming the dignity of disabled victims of war. |

| Next Steps“The end of Roe represents a crucial milestone. But we cannot mistake it for the end of abortion,” said Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly, who participated in the 50th annual March for Life Jan. 20, with other Supreme Officers and members of the Knights of Columbus Board of Directors. “In a post-Roe America, the Knights of Columbus will continue to show our nation’s lawmakers that life is a precious gift worth protecting, and we’ll proudly march for life until abortion is unthinkable.” READ MORE | WATCH NOW |

One of the biggest gifts is giving people hope.” WATCH NOW |
