Life

About

Marches for Life, be they in Washington, DC, Raleigh, Charlotte, or local cities/towns in North Carolina, are intended for us, Knights, to demonstrate publicly our support for life at all stages, and to enable other marchers to likewise demonstrate their support for life at all stages.

About With aid from the Knights, pregnancy centers and maternity homes can offer support to help women, choose life, for themselves and their babies, before and after birth.  Included in this is our NC Pro-Life Restricted Fund for those NC organizations in most need and our NC focus on Adoption as an Option!  We continue to work with the NC State Legislators for optimum Baby Box availability within NC.

Of particular importance is our Room at the Inn (RATI) Campaign for a new Center in Kernersville to assist women and families across NC.

About The Knights of Columbus works together as an organization to purchase ultrasound machines for qualifying pregnancy centers.  In North Carolina, since there are NC State funds available for this purpose, a Council should first recommend that a center explore that option.  If that option is not available, then the Council may progress with potential support.

About This is not a Featured Program.  Celebrating a Mass for People with Special Needs can be the first of many steps toward integrating the disabled into regular weekly or even daily Mass – and more deeply into all of the sacraments and other aspects of parish life.

About

Every stop the Silver Rose makes throughout the pilgrimage is a rosary-centered occasion for Knights, parishioners and community members to pray for respect for life.  This is a major opportunity to pray for Life, invoking Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patron Saint of the Americas, to help.
