The Knights of Columbus are holding their 127th Supreme Convention from August 4-6 in Phoenix, Arizona and Salt + Light Television is your place for complete live coverage.

More than 2,000 delegates from Knights of Columbus Councils will be present for this annual gathering of the world’s largest lay Catholic organization. This year Salt + Light will be broadcasting the convention in conjunction with CatholicTV in Boston.

Our own Fr. Thomas Rosica and David Naglieri, along with Kevin Nelson of CatholicTV, will be hosting the live coverage. Reporters Michèle Nuzzo and Alicia Ambrosio will bring you insight, analysis and testimonials from the convention floor.

Here is our broadcast schedule for the 127th Supreme Convention:

Tuesday, August 4 2009

During the Convention coverage we will also premiere a new film that recounts the extraordinary history of the Knights of Columbus. Men of Faith Who Made a Difference is a one hour documentary which profiles the important mission, numerous charitable efforts and global impact of the Knights.

The Knights of Columbus have launched a new Marian initiative this year. From August 6-8, immediately following the convention, thousands of Catholics from around the world will descend on Jobing.com Arena for the First International Marian Congress concluding with the Guadalupe Festival on August 8.

The Festival will feature a variety of insirational speakers, music, the Rosary, and a presentation on the history and importance of the appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe to St. Juan Diego. Salt + Light Television will be present throughout the festival and will produce a special program on the congress to air in the near future.
