Our Faith  
Pope Benedict XVI greets Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson shortly after his election to the papacy in 2005. The founders of the Knights of Columbus sought strength in solidarity, and security through unity of purpose and devotion to a holy cause: they vowed to be defenders of their country, their families and their faith.

The Order has been called "the strong right arm of the Church," and has been praised by popes, presidents and other world leaders for support of the Church, programs of evangelization and Catholic education, civic involvement and aid to those in need.

Promoting a Culture of Life

The Protection Of Human Life

The Knights of Columbus is unambiguously and proudly pro-life. In accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church, the Order defends human life from the moment of conception until natural death. Building a new Culture of Life where every human life is welcomed, respected and protected by law is one of the highest priorities of the Order.  Visit our Pro-Life page.
