God Bless the Knights!

Our good Knights of Columbus have contributed $1 million to the fight to defend and preserve marriage in California.

"In a press release, spokesman for the Knights of Columbus, Patrick Korten said that the donation from the Knights 'is both an indication of how important we believe this referendum to be, and an encouragement to other groups and individuals of all faiths to lend their support as well.'

'From the day the organization was founded 126 years ago, strengthening and protecting the family has always been central to the mission of the Knights of Columbus. Preserving marriage as the indispensable institution in which children are conceived, born and raised to adulthood by a loving father and mother is vital to a healthy society. It is also the most favorable environment in which to protect the rights and best interests of children. We are proud to join the Catholic bishops and priests of California, and so many other people of good will, in this effort on which so much depends.'"
