Celebrate America's 250th Birthday

American Knights are invited to celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary this year with devotion, prayer and service.

Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly is encouraging councils to help answer the U.S. bishops’ call for parishes and individuals to complete 250 Hours of Adoration and 250 Works of Mercy.

Additionally, inspired by the U.S. bishops’ forthcoming consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Knights and their families are invited to dedicate themselves, their homes and their councils to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Find information about marking this occasion at the new, dedicated resources page!
