Every life is a precious gift, from the moment of conception. This year, members of the Knights of Columbus in Salug Valley area marched together for life—standing up for the unborn and advocating for the dignity of all. The Annual March for Life 2025 is more than a walk; it’s a commitment to love, protect, and defend the most vulnerable among us. Let’s raise our voices for those who can’t.

Bringing hope to those behind bars: Knights of Columbus stand in solidarity with our community, reminding us all that redemption and support can shine through even the darkest times.

Recently, members of the Knights of Columbus Salug Valley Council 7610, SVF-YMC 17615 & SHJ-YMC 17512 visited the municipal jail to connect with individuals deprived of liberty, offering a message of hope and solidarity. In a world where despair can often overshadow, we believe in the power of compassion and support. Our visit aimed to uplift spirits and remind those incarcerated that they are not forgotten. Through dialogue and kindness, we seek to inspire a path toward redemption and reintegration. The ultimate goal is to foster a sense of community, reinforcing that every person has the potential for change and deserves a second chance.

2nd Degree: UNITY➰

The Order is dedicated to the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. A First Degree exemplification ceremony, by which a man joins the Order, explicates the virtue of charity. He is then said to be a First Degree Knight of Columbus; after participating in the subsequent degrees, each of which focuses on another virtue, he rises to that status. Upon reaching the Third Degree, a gentleman is a full member. Priests do not participate directly in Degree exemplifications as laymen do, but rather take the degree by observation.

Behind everything a Knight does is the vision of our founder, Venerable Michael McGivney, and the mission he left us as Catholic men united in faith. This holy and heroic parish priest founded the Order with a group of laymen in the basement of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven, CT, the city where the Order’s headquarters remains. Today, we ask for his intercession, pray for his canonization, and live out in our lives the principles he left us as Knights:

Second Degree – exemplifies Unity. None of us is as good as all of us. United as brother Knights, our efforts in support of the Catholic Chirch and our fellow men are focused and multiplied. Nearly two million Catholic men and their families can do tremendous good.

Vivat Jesus!
