Ever since the Order was established in 1882, our Brother Knights of Columbus have been at the forefront of every U.S. military action. There exists a strong connection between the values of military service and the principles of the Knights, and the Order has consistently shown unwavering support for the armed forces.

 

This rich history is honorably portrayed in an award-winning 40-minute documentary titled "Armed with the Faith: The Knights of Columbus and the Military."

Since 2013, the Knights of Columbus has partnered with the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, (AMS) to sponsor the annual Warriors to Lourdes Pilgrimage.

The Warriors to Lourdes is a week-long retreat in which pilgrims take part in several spiritual activities, including an opening ceremony, special Masses, visits to the baths at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, and a candlelight vigil.

 

U.S. service members currently on active duty, recently retired, or honorably discharged are encouraged to submit an application to attend this life-changing retreat at absolutely no cost.  

 

We will post information about future retreats as it becomes available.  Thank you!
