This spring, at pro-life marches around the world, Knights of Columbus showed up in force as voices for the vulnerable. In Canada, several supreme directors and state deputies, past and present, were among Knights who participated in the 28th National March for Life in Ottawa, Ontario, on May 8. Nationwide, councils also joined in provincial marches in Québec City, Québec; Edmonton, Alberta; Regina, Saskatchewan; Victoria, British Columbia; and elsewhere.

Just days earlier, on May 3, K of C leaders and members from councils throughout Mexico were among more than 5,000 people who participated in the National March for Life in Mexico City. They marched to the capital city’s congress building, where they protested the decriminalization of abortion throughout the country’s states. Both national marches also received financial support from the Order.

And in the Philippines, all four jurisdictions — Luzon North, Luzon South, Mindanao and Visayas — organized marches on March 15, bringing together thousands of pro-life advocates throughout the country. One of the largest was held in Malabon City, Luzon South, which drew more than 2,500 people and members of nearly 100 councils.
