March for Life 2025
Why Pro-Life Advocacy is a Core KofC Mission
Each January, thousands gather in Washington, D.C., for the annual March for Life, a powerful demonstration of unity and advocacy for the sanctity of human life. This year, the March for Life 2025 continues its mission to peacefully stand against abortion and promote a culture that values every human being from conception to natural death. For the Knights of Columbus, participation in this event is more than a commitment to a cause—it’s an embodiment of the Knights’ mission to protect and defend life at every stage. The March serves as an opportunity to put faith into action, proclaiming the dignity of life through collective prayer, witness, and advocacy.
The Knights of Columbus have long been at the forefront of the pro-life movement. Founded on the principles of charity, unity, and fraternity, the Order recognizes the protection of the most vulnerable—particularly the unborn—as a sacred duty. Knights councils across the nation organize pilgrimages to the March for Life, sponsor local pro-life initiatives, and support pregnancy resource centers. Through programs like the Ultrasound Initiative, the Knights provide life-saving technology to pregnancy centers, empowering mothers to choose life. The March for Life exemplifies the Knights’ unwavering dedication to building a culture that upholds the value and dignity of every human being.
For those interested in participating in the March for Life 2025, there are many resources available. Local councils, such as John Paul II Council 13935, often coordinate transportation and accommodations for members and parishioners. The March’s official website offers registration details, maps, and event schedules to help attendees plan their visit. Additionally, the Knights of Columbus provide spiritual preparation materials, including novenas and prayer guides, to unite participants in prayerful support of the pro-life cause. Whether attending in person or joining in prayer from home, every Knight and parishioner has a role in defending the sanctity of life. Together, we answer the call to be voices for the voiceless, making a profound impact on hearts and minds through faith and action.
