The protection of life is a sustained prayer intention of the Church, and in particular of the Knights of Columbus. Knights remain firmly committed to defending the right to life of every human being – from the moment of conception to natural death. To commemorate and bolster this important cause, councils will promote a novena, nine days of sustained prayer, to build up a culture of life in our parishes, homes and wider community.
Council 4902 sponsors and leads the Novena for Life program in partnership with St. Bridget’s Parish. The Novena is a 9-day prayer program coordinated to coincide with the United States Council of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) 9 Days for Life where we gather as a committed organization to pray to protect human life from conception until death.
Jan. 16 – Jan. 24, 2026 Council members led the congregation and Knights in the 9 Day Novena for Life at St. Bridget Church. Materials for the Novena were provided and are still available. The Novena can be prayed throughout the year if you would like to offer up prayer for the sanctity of life. Thanks to brothers Roy Plana and Paul Boespflug who led the Novena.
