In a special video message to the 144th Supreme Convention, Pope Leo XIV calls on Knights to actively cultivate unity, practice charity and become “prophets of harmony” in their families, parishes and communities. He also expresses his gratitude for the Order’s enduring service to those in need and imparts his Apostolic Blessing upon all Knights and their families.

The Knights of Columbus receive the Holy Father’s message with gratitude and reaffirm our steadfast loyalty to him and to the Church.

Vivat Jesus!

You can help a U.S. Military Service member or veteran find healing.

For $3,000, Knights of Columbus councils and assemblies can sponsor one military personnel or a veteran to encounter spiritual healing, fellowship and peace through the Warriors to Lourdes pilgrimage.

Since 2013, the Knights of Columbus has accompanied hundreds of wounded, ill and injured service members, and those carrying spiritual burdens. This year, from Veteran’s Day to Feb. 18, 2027, the feast of St. Bernadette, we’re asking Knights to participate in our Sponsor a Pilgrim initiative. With your support, you can help cover the airfare, meals and other costs of a pilgrim selected to join the May 2027 Warriors to Lourdes Pilgrimage.

The first 250 councils that raise the funds to Sponsor a Pilgrim will be inducted into St. Bernadette’s Brigade; be recognized on the Warriors to Lourdes website and select fraternal publications; and receive memorabilia.

Patriotism calls us to help those who served and sacrificed for our country. You can:
• Donate today
• Talk to your Grand Knight of Faithful Navigator about sponsoring a pilgrim
• Encourage active duty or retired service men or women in your community to apply for the pilgrimage

On Veterans Day, we honor the men and women who have served our nation with courage, sacrifice, and commitment.

In this video, veteran Knights of Columbus General Agents reflect on how military service shaped their lives and instilled values that continue to guide them today: leadership, discipline, brotherhood, and service to others.

Thank you to all who have served.

Former Navy fighter pilot Kendall Geneser's life changed when MS ended his aviation career. Struggling with humility and purpose, a transformative retreat reignited his faith. Now an active Knight of Columbus, he dedicates himself to service, faith, and community. His story is chronicled in Grounded: A Different Kind of War, with proceeds supporting Mary's Meals. Kendall's story shows that even when life's plans change, faith can transform loss into a mission of love and service.

Honoring veterans who have given so much for their country, Assembly 2886 organized a Veterans Equine Therapy event, “Healing Hooves for Heroes,” to support veterans on their journey toward healing. At Reasons Rescue Ranch, Missouri-based councils from the assembly respond to their patriotic duty by serving those in need, including veterans living with PTSD. The ranch welcomed veterans for a day of relaxation and fellowship, where time spent with the animals offered comfort, connection and an opportunity for healing.

Do you see Christ in the people around you?
Jesus reminds us that how we treat those in need is how we treat Him (Matthew 25:45).

In this month's Supreme Chaplain's Challenge, Archbishop William E. Lori calls on Knights to follow the example of Blessed Michael McGivney by recognizing Christ in those who are suffering and responding with concrete acts of charity.

Look around you. Who needs your help today? A small act of kindness, a generous gift or simply showing up for someone can make a difference.

See Christ. Serve others. Take the challenge: https://t.co/9H7I59brMu

Approximately 9,000 pilgrims, including Knights of Columbus and their families, gathered in Savannah, Georgia, on Oct. 31 for the beatification Mass of five Franciscan missionaries who were killed in 1597 in what is now the state of Georgia.

Known as the “Georgia Martyrs,” Pedro de Corpa, Blas Rodríguez, Miguel de Añon, Antonio de Badajóz and Francisco de Veráscola were Spanish missionaries who ministered to the Indigenous Guale people along the Georgia coast. When Pedro de Corpa opposed a baptized Guale leader’s plan to take a second wife, the leader and his followers killed him and, in the ensuing uprising, four other friars. The five died defending the Christian faith and its teaching on marriage.

More than 100 Fourth Degree Knights from across the state formed an honor guard during the Mass, presided over by Cardinal Frank Leo, archbishop of Toronto, as the representative of Pope Leo XIV. In his homily, Cardinal Leo highlighted the martyrs’ witness to evangelization and dialogue.

“Having left everyone and everything behind to follow the Lord, a calling which brought them across the Atlantic to this very place, they fulfilled Christ’s words with great zeal and vigor,” the cardinal said. “Among the varied gifts we can give to others, the faith is among the greatest. … The example of the martyrs helps our young people, in particular, to appreciate that no greater treasure can be found in this earthly existence than following Jesus with an undivided heart.”

“No child should ever face a Canadian winter without a coat."

David Gelinas, State Deputy for the Knights of Columbus Ontario State Council @KofCOntario shares the reason why, for the past 18 years, Knights have demonstrated charity through the Knights of Columbus Coats for Kids program. Every year, councils across North America collect winter coats for people in their communities who are in need, including children, veterans and members of various First Nations communities.

Yesterday, in Hamilton, Ontario, David joined brother Knights at the program kickoff in Ontario to distribute thousands of coats which will go to children across the province this winter. Ontario Knights are well on their way to hitting their goal of distributing 22,000 coats this year.

« Aucun enfant ne devrait avoir à affronter l’hiver canadien sans manteau. »

David Gelinas, député d’État pour les Chevaliers de Colomb de l’Ontario, explique pourquoi, depuis 18 ans, les chevaliers témoignent de leur charité par l’entremise du programme Des manteaux pour les enfants des Chevaliers de Colomb. Chaque année, les conseils de toute l’Amérique du Nord collectent des manteaux d’hiver pour les personnes dans le besoin de leurs communautés, notamment les enfants, les anciens combattants et les membres de diverses communautés des Premières Nations.

Hier, à Hamilton, en Ontario, M. Gelinas s’est joint à ses confrères Chevaliers pour le coup d’envoi du programme en Ontario afin de distribuer des milliers de manteaux qui seront remis à des enfants de toute la province cet hiver. Les Chevaliers de l’Ontario sont en bonne voie d’atteindre leur objectif de distribution de 22 000 manteaux cette année.

Today we pray for all the faithful departed, entrusting them to God’s mercy.

We remember our loved ones, our departed brother Knights, and those who have no one to pray for them. Our prayers express a love that continues beyond death and our hope in Christ’s promise of eternal life. Offer a prayer today for someone who has died. Consider attending Mass, praying the Rosary, or visiting a cemetery to pray for those buried there. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace. Amen.

Today we celebrate all the saints in heaven, including those whose names and stories are known to God alone.

Their lives remind us that holiness is possible in every vocation. We grow closer to Christ as we care for our families, do our work faithfully, serve our neighbors, and return to him when we fall short.

As Knights, we ask the saints to pray for us as we strive to live our faith with courage and charity.

Blessed Michael McGivney, pray for us!
All you holy men and women, pray for us!

“Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer.” — Romans 12:12

Prayer isn’t only for the moments when we know exactly what to say. We can bring God our gratitude, our uncertainty, our struggles and even our silence.

Whatever this day brings, keep turning toward him.
Lord, help us persevere in prayer and place our trust in you.

On October 31, 2020, Father Michael J. McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus, was
beatified in Hartford, Connecticut.

A humble parish priest with an extraordinary vision, Father McGivney dedicated his life to
strengthening Catholic families, caring for those in need, and helping men live their faith through
charity and fraternity.

More than a century after his death, his mission continues through the Knights of Columbus,
and the faithful continue to seek his intercession.

As we celebrate the sixth anniversary of his beatification, we give thanks for his remarkable
witness to holiness and ask for his continued prayers. Learn more at https://t.co/rbq5oZfVBG

Blessed Michael McGivney, pray for us!
