State Knights’ Pilgrimage Honoring Mothers and Family Life

OCTOBER 1, 2023

The National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church Knights of Columbus Council #10381 is hosting the Missouri State Council Knights of Columbus Pilgrimage honoring mothers and family life at the Mothers’ Shrine on October 1, 2023.

Respect Life Sunday

Each October the Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month, and the first Sunday of October is observed as Respect Life Sunday. As Catholics, we are called to cherish, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable, from the beginning of life to its end, and at every point in between. During the month of October, the Church asks us to reflect more deeply on the dignity of every human life.

We recognize that respecting life begins with respecting all mothers. During our celebration, the Mothers’ Shrine will unveil the newly engraved names on our Mothers’ Wall of Life. Honor the loved ones in your life by submitting an engraving reservation before August 15, 2023.
