This year, nearly 2,000 Knights of Columbus leaders, family members and guests representing 75 jurisdictions around the world flocked once more to the U.S. capital for the 143rd Supreme Convention, held Aug. 5-7. The event followed the 125th anniversary of the Fourth Degree this past February and anticipated the nation’s 250th birthday next July.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“Our history in this city stretches back nearly to our founding,” Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly said in his annual report Aug. 5. “Our first council here was established in 1897 — and ever since, we have served both God and country.”</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Gathered under the theme “Heralds of Hope,” delegates met daily to join in prayer, discuss the Order’s priorities and mission, and participate in fraternal events. More than 50 bishops and cardinals, as well as priests from around the world, were also present, concelebrating Masses and attending the convention proceedings.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Pope Leo XIV honored the Order with a historic video message, which premiered during the televised opening business session Aug. 5. Knights of Columbus worldwide watched as Pope Leo commended the Order’s charitable work and urged Knights to reflect on the “essential virtue” of hope, particularly during this Jubilee Year.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“We are called to be tangible signs of hope for those of our brothers and sisters who experience hardships of any kind,” Pope Leo said in the prerecorded greeting. “Your founder, Blessed Michael McGivney, understood this well. He saw the many needs of immigrant Catholics and sought to bring relief to the poor and suffering through his faithful celebration of the sacraments, as well as through fraternal assistance — fraternal assistance which continues on to this day.”</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Last fraternal year, Knights donated more than $190 million to people in need, setting a new record, and volunteered more than 47 million hours in service. More than 96,000 men joined the Knights of Columbus in that time, bringing total membership to more than 2.1 million across nearly 17,000 councils in North America, Latin America, Asia and Europe. The number of university-aged members increased as well, with more than 8,000 Knights now counted among 146 college councils.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“Our global growth shows the enduring power of Father McGivney’s vision,” Supreme Knight Kelly said. “And we have a duty to keep up the momentum.”</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In his homily during the annual Memorial Mass Aug. 7, Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William Lori underlined the convention’s theme, describing Blessed Michael McGivney as a “herald of hope to his people, by helping them anchor their hope of eternal life in the Heart of Christ.”</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">He continued: “By offering this Mass for our beloved dead, we proclaim our hope of life eternal — the hope that animates how we live, the decisions we make, the relationships we form and maintain, the work we do.”</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Read more about the 143rd Supreme Convention’s major events in the pages that follow.
