Keep Christ in Christmas’ and ‘Light Up For Christ
In a time when all things religious are being discouraged and swept away, it’s refreshing to know that the Order established the “Keep Christ in Christmas” campaign and the “Light Up for Christ” program to remind people that Christmas is above all a holy day celebrating the birth of Christ.

Celebrate 125 Years of Faith in Action
The 125th anniversary of the realization of Father McGivney’s dream is a cause for celebration. Councils throughout the Order are urged to observe this event — among their own members and with the community at large — as a reminder of what the Knights of Columbus have accomplished in the past 125 years, the ideals of the Order, and their own local achievements.

Pledge Case Before Federal Appeals Court Dec. 4

The latest court challenge to the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, Newdow v. Carey, will be argued before a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Dec. 4 in San Francisco. The Knights of Columbus and seven individual Knights and their families from the Sacramento area are parties to the lawsuit, and will be represented in the case by Kevin Hasson, a Knight and president of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.

Order Will Appeal Ruling on Pledge of Allegiance
The Knights of Columbus, which is among the defendants in Newdow v. Congress of the United States, et al., will immediately appeal the Sept. 14 decision by U.S. District Court Judge Lawrence Karlton, holding that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in school is unconstitutional.

Knights of Columbus to “Redouble Efforts” for Adoption of Marriage Protection Amendment
Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson said today [June 7] that the U.S. Senate’s failure to approve the Marriage Protection Amendment is “deeply disappointing,” and noted the irony of the fact that the 49-48 vote “comes one day after Alabama became the 20th state to adopt a state constitutional amendment protecting marriage.”
