Started by a humble parish priest, the Knights of Columbus have grown into the world’s largest lay Catholic organization with over 1.7 million members.
Every year the Knights gather to celebrate their faith and the work they do. In particular, they celebrate the organization’s core principles of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. The statistics are always stunning. In the last decade alone nearly 13 billion dollars have been raised and at least 640 million hours volunteered for those in need.
This year’s gathering, the 128th Supreme Convention, comes from Washington, D.C., August 3rd to 5th.
Joining the over two thousand Knight delegates, priests and prelates, will be our own Fr. Thomas Rosica, Matthew Harrison, Sebastien Lacroix, Alicia Ambrosio and Rita Sawaya. Our extensive live coverage will bring you unmatched insight, analysis and testimonials and interviews from the convention floor.
