On All Souls Day weekend, November 2nd, the Michigan Knights of Columbus with the Detroit Archdiocesan Vocations League sponsored a Memorial Mass held at Sacred Heart Major Seminary. This year's mass was a very moving event where the name of every Brother who was being memorialized on a plaque was read aloud and also printed in the program.
The Mass was attended by the State Officers, Fourth Degree Color Corps and all brother Knights and their families who wished to attend. This was followed by a brunch where attendees got to meet some of the current seminarians and future priests.

ASAP100 - Has your Council applied for ASAP Grants?
- Sat, Nov 8, 2025 1:21 PM
As we near the midpoint of this fraternal year, I’d like to share the current status of our Aid and Support After Pregnancy 100 (ASAP100) initiative. To date (October), 42 councils or 10% of active councils across Michigan—representing 34 of our 102 districts—have participated in this vital program. Together, these councils have contributed $84,076 in direct donations. With our Supreme Council matching's contribution of $11,700, our total impact now stands at $95,776 in support of mothers and their children. See attachments for donation details and ASAP100 instructions.
At our Summer Leadership Meeting, we committed ourselves to the goal of 100% council participation in the ASAP program. That commitment was not merely about meeting a number—it was a pledge to uphold Life, one of the fundamental pillars of our Order. Every council, large or small, has the ability to make a difference. Whether your contribution is great or modest, what matters most is that your council has prayerfully considered the call to support life and taken action.
If your council has not yet made a donation, I encourage you to do so soon—and be sure to report it so that your efforts are counted. Let us demonstrate, together, the power of Michigan Knights standing united for mothers, children, and the sanctity of life.
Thank you for your ongoing generosity and faithful witness to our mission.
SOARing for Life .. with Courage!

RTL MI March for Life—Thursday, November 6,2026
- Sat, Nov 8, 2025 1:14 PM
Thousands gathered for the Right to Life Michigan March for Life, which placed special emphasis on supporting women facing unplanned pregnancies and coincided with the anniversary of Proposal 3, at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing on Thursday, November 6, 2025. The Michigan State Council board and members from councils across the state were well represented at the march.
Prior to the march the day began with a Mass for Life at St. Mary Cathedral, just steps away from the Capitol. Bishop Earl Boyea of the Diocese of Lansing presided as well as providing the opening prayer for the march. State Deputy Barry Borsenik lead the marchers in the pledge of allegiance. Also joining us in the march was Tim Saccoccia, Vice President of Public Policy, Knights of Columbus.
Knights of Columbus members were visible in their yellow safety vests through out the day assisting with the logistics of guiding the over seventy buses that came from across the state with pro life moms, dads, children and students to attend the march. In addition, several of the Knights of Columbus volunteers distributed the Love Life, Choose Life posters and help guide the volunteers through the march route. Thank you all our volunteers who helped make the march a safe and successful one.
A special thank you to the St. Mary Cathedral Council #11694, Lansing, Grand Knight Phil Schertzing for all their help and support leading up to the march and the day of the march.
