Culture of Life
Every life is sacred from the moment of conception to natural death. As Knights of Columbus, we defend the dignity of each human being at every stage of life and work together to build a culture of life and a civilization of love. We strive to change the hearts and minds of people who support abortion and euthanasia by presenting ethical alternatives through the Gospel of Life.
“Abortion and euthanasia are crimes which no human law can claim to legitimize. There is no obligation in conscience to obey such laws; instead there is a grave and clear obligation to oppose them by conscientious objection.” --- Saint Pope John Paul II, Evangelium vitae, March 25, 1995, 73
