Life
The Knights of Columbus remains firmly committed to defending the right to life of every human being, from the moment of conception to natural death. Countless councils and individual Knights conduct projects aimed to build a culture of life in their communities. What we choose to do, or not do, about abortion, euthanasia, human cloning and embryonic research impacts lives for generations to come. Take action now and support a culture that values human life at all stages. Here are some of the programs and activities that our council does to promote a culture of life.
- Respect Life Prayer Vigils
- Life Line Pregnancy Center
- Room At The Inn
- March For Life (DC, NC, and Wilmington)
- Polar Plunge
- LAMB Foundation
The last, LAMB Foundation, is a major initiative of the Knights of Columbus in North Carolina. Our council maintains a leadership position in this worthy organization.
To support the Wilmington LifeLine Pregnancy Center, the council will work with the Saint Mark Respect Life ministry in conducting a Baby Bottle Campaign during October which is Respect Life Month. On the first Sunday of October, baby bottles are distributed to the parish community asking those taking them to fill them with loose change. The bottles are collected on the last Sunday of October.
