Roe V Wade

My Brother Knights: After nearly 50 years, the wrong decision that was made in Roe v. Wade has been set right. The Supreme Court’s historic decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’ Health Organization overturning both Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, is a watershed moment in the movement that generations of Knights of Columbus have worked and prayed for. Indeed, it is one of the most significant advancements in human rights in our nation’s history. We are grateful and encouraged by the Court’s finding that abortion is not a “constitutional right.” But we must not think that today is a day to declare victory. Instead, I call upon every member of the Knights of Columbus to redouble their personal efforts to build up the Culture of Life that St. John Paul II described in his prophetic encyclical letter Evangelium Vitae. With Roe reversed, federal advocacy to protect unborn life is still necessary, but the decision opens wide the doors for states to consider their own abortion laws as well. Many states have laws that immediately protect unborn human life. Others have taken regrettable steps to make themselves “sanctuaries” for abortion-on-demand. Pregnancy resources centers will become even more vital as they reach out to serve pregnant women, new mothers and their children. In the months and years ahead, Knights should work to support — or start — marches for life in every state. Another critical action we can all take is to increase our support for pregnancy resource centers in our communities. To that end, the Supreme Council has announced a $5 million campaign to support new mothers and their children through a new program: ASAP (Aid and Support After Pregnancy). These pregnancy centers and maternity homes are now the front lines of the pro-life movement, and Knights should continue to stand and serve with them. You can support this effort by making a donation today. Even before the Dobbs decision was officially released, we saw numerous instances of violence and vandalism targeted at pregnancy resource centers and Catholic churches across the country. Let us find our response in the words Pope Francis addressed to the 2021 Supreme Convention, which called on us to be men “committed to building up rather than tearing down, promoting healing and reconciliation in place of hatred and recrimination, and inviting all to undertake the ‘journey of fraternity’ that can lead to a world ever more in accord with God’s saving plan for our human family.” Finally, we must continue to pray and fast for the end of abortion. How fitting it is that the Dobbs decision arrived on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Let us pray in thanksgiving for this decision, and continue to implore the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe as we work to build a Culture of Life in which every human life, made in the image and likeness of God, is welcomed in life and protected in law. Fraternally, Patrick E. Kelly Supreme Knight

-- Hello Brothers,

As was discussed at our last meeting, the Knights have been asked to assist in serving food on June 29, the opening of the WCF, and the last night, July 4th.  It is a great time for fellowship and a chance to see familiar faces.  If you wear your Knights gear or if you do not have any gear, let the people at the gate know that you are with the Knights and you are working in the kitchen.  Hours for us to serve are usually from 4:30-10:00.  Thanks in advance for those who can serve.  Look forward to seeing you there!

Support the National Eucharistic Revival

Dear Brother Knights, As you may know, the Bishops of the United States have called for a National Eucharistic Revival, challenging Catholics across the US to deepen their reverence for Jesus Christ, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. As I have said before, we are honored to support the National Eucharistic Revival. As Knights of the Eucharist, it is our task to deepen our own devotion. This can be done through prayer, faithful attendance at Mass, and Adoration. To support you, your families, and your communities as you grow in your commitment to the Eucharist, the Supreme Council has developed and gathered resources both for personal and council use. Among these resources are Eucharistic Procession training videos and guides that you and your councils are invited to use in support of your parishes. These resources have been developed in consultation with the USCCB and have been shared with dioceses across the country. I am also happy to share with you a new inspirational and catechetical video, The Eucharist: Source of our Healing and Hope, that will help strengthen your knowledge of and love for the mystery of the Eucharist. All of these resources and more can be found at www.kofc.org/eucharist.

The National Eucharistic Revival will officially launch on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, June 19, 2022, and many dioceses and parishes are planning celebrations and Eucharistic Processions to mark the occasion. Please make it a priority to familiarize yourself with the resources available to you and your councils to support this important initiative and to stand ready to assist your pastors and bishops both in these Eucharistic Processions and in all of their plans to renew belief in and devotion to the Eucharist. Vivat Jesus! Fraternally, Patrick E. Kelly Supreme Knight
