The Knights of Columbus is irrevocably committed to life. All of our programs and activities are geared in some way to improve the quality of life, both spiritually and materially, especially among the dispossessed and marginalized of our society. Moreover, wherever life itself is threatened, the Knights stands firm. In accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus defend human life from the moment of conception until natural death. Why? Read the brochure published by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops titled “The Catholic Church Is Pro-Life. ” Read also the “amicus” brief, written by the late Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and filed with the United States Supreme Court.
The Kansas Knights promote life with its many programs, including the “Evangelium Vitae Award - Gospel of Life.” program. Another program includes our annual baby shower in January. Also, many councils plan a pro-life celebration on the 21st of January, the sad anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision allowing unlimited abortions in the United States. Many parishes have a pro-life memorial on their parish or cemetery grounds.
