Submitted on Friday, May 9, 2025 for:
Pope Leo XIV
The Knights of Columbus joins Catholics everywhere in celebrating the election of His
Holiness Pope Leo XIV, the successor of St. Peter and spiritual leader of the Catholic Church.
On behalf of our 2.1 million members around the world, I pledge our loyalty to Pope Leo XIV as
well as our prayers today and every day of his pontificate. The Knights of Columbus will always
stand in solidarity with Pope Leo XIV as we support the Church’s mission of evangelization
through our works of charity and faith formation.
