WEEKLY NEWS FOR KNIGHTS AROUND THE WORLD

Nearly 60,000 people traveled to Indianapolis last week for the historic National Eucharistic Congress, the high point of the ongoing National Eucharistic Revival in the United States. Fourth Degree Knights were out in strength for the Saturday procession through downtown, and countless Knights around the country joined similar processions in the weeks leading up to the congress, for which the Supreme Council was a major sponsor. “And the reason is simple,” Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly told the crowd gathered at Lucas Oil Stadium Thursday night. “The Knights exist to serve Christ and his Church.”
