NEW HAVEN, March 24, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Knights of Columbus, the world's largest Catholic family fraternal service organization with 1.6 million members, will hold a prayer service observing the second annual Knights of Columbus Day of the Unborn Child. The date selected bears much religious significance as it is the traditional Catholic observance of the Incarnation of Christ which took place at the Annunciation of the Angel Gabriel to Mary.
Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson remarked that "The feast of the Annunciation reminds us once again that what we have learned through science can never contradict what has been revealed to us through revelation: That the life of each human being, unique and unrepeatable, begins at the moment of his or her conception. Thus 'the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us' at the Annunciation."
For more than 30 years the Knights of Columbus has been at the forefront of the right to life movement. The Day of the Unborn Child provides an opportunity for Knights around the world to unite in prayer and to further resolve themselves to become, in the words of Pope John Paul II, "a people of life and a people for life."
The hour-long service, centered around the recitation of the rosary, is scheduled to be televised live by EWTN. March 25, the feast of the Annunciation, was declared Day of the Unborn Child in a unanimously approved resolution at the 2001 Supreme Council convention in Toronto.
