WEEKLY NEWS FOR KNIGHTS AROUND THE WORLD
VOLUME 44 • NUMBER 16 • April 24, 2026
Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s television series Life Is Worth Living, which aired from 1952-57, inspired millions of viewers with his profound insights on a Christian response to modern challenges. A Fourth Degree Knight, Sheen particularly urged the laity to take a prominent role in evangelization efforts. To this day, Knights take up this call by putting their faith in action, serving their communities through initiatives such as the Knights of Columbus Saskatchewan Indoor Games, as well as through formation programs in places like Florida, where a local council is helping parishioners share and defend their faith.
Faith, Hope and Mental Health
For more than a decade, integrating Catholic anthropology into psychology has been the driving force behind the work of Dr. Greg Bottaro, founder of the CatholicPsych Institute and a Knight, who spoke with Columbia about his clinical approach and how to address the root causes of anxiety and depression. “On the one hand, there’s understandable hesitation about trusting the mental health field,” Bottaro said. “At the same time, we all need help. There’s no ‘if.’ It becomes a question of what kind of help we need. … God designed us to need each other.”

To Defend and Share the Faith
St. Vincent de Paul Council 9618 in Fort Myers, Florida, launched a faith formation program to help fellow members and parishioners better understand Church teaching and speak about it with confidence in the public square. More than 70 people attended at the outset, and both program participation and council membership have continued to grow. “The very fact that there’s so many people interested,” said Father Murchadh Ó Madagáin, pastor, “is just an indication that people are both hungry for the truth and also want to be able to defend their faith.”

The Argument of Holiness
Earlier this year, the Holy See announced that Venerable Fulton Sheen will be beatified in September. In his recent column for Columbia, Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly reflects on Archbishop Sheen’s particular apostolate to the laity, whom he called upon in a special way to share the Gospel through lives of Christian witness. “Archbishop Sheen spent his entire life bringing people to Christ,” writes the supreme knight. “He put enormous talents at the service of God — and he urged all of us, no matter our talents, to do the same.”
