Life
Create a culture of life. Our life programs assist pregnant women in need, care for people with special needs, and stand publicly and prayerfully for the dignity of every human life, from conception to natural death.
Defending Life at Every Stage
March for Life
Council 12956 organizes a delegation of Knights and families to march and witness publicly for life each year.
ASAP — Aid and Support After Pregnancy
Through the Order's ASAP initiative, council donations directly support local pregnancy resource centers serving new mothers and babies.
Special Olympics
Knights fund and cheer on Special Olympics Florida athletes — a partnership the Order has kept for over 50 years.
Novena for Life
Nine days of parish prayer for the protection of human life, prayed together as a council and parish family.
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.”
— Proverbs 31:8-9. Locally, that means practical support: the council backs Reachup, a Hillsborough County organization offering free home-visiting programs for pregnant women, along with education and care coordination. Prayer, presence, and provision — that is how we defend life.
