KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE UNBORN CHILD

Contact Information
Name: Tom Radel

The international Knights of Columbus Day of Prayer for the

Unborn Child offers a special opportunity to pray for the

sacredness of every human life, from conception until natural

death. Celebrated annually on March 25th, in 2018 this special

day also happens to be Palm Sunday. Early planning is

needed to coordinate activities with council chaplains or

pastors who no doubt already have a full schedule for the

beginning of Holy Week.

Prayers for the unborn and their mothers could be included in

the petitions at Mass. Perhaps a special Rosary for the unborn

could be held before or after Mass.

Prayerful activities could also be held outside of the parish or

council, such as at a tomb for the unborn in a local cemetery,

outside an abortion clinic, or in some other public area.

Besides Knights, family members, and parishioners, invite

members of the community, including pro-life public officials

and health care workers, to participate in any council sponsored

observance.

The Knights of Columbus Day of Prayer for the Unborn Child

is a key part of the Order’s Culture of Life program. For more
