Happy Independence Day! God bless America!

As we celebrate the birth of our nation, we extend our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who have served—and continue to serve—in the United States Armed Forces. Your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to protecting our freedoms are the foundation upon which this country stands.

To the dedicated members and volunteers of the Knights of Columbus, thank you for your tireless service to our communities, our parishes, and those in need. Your compassion and faith in action truly reflect the spirit of what it means to be American—selfless, strong, and united.

May this Fourth of July be a joyful reminder of the values we share, the freedom we cherish, and the hope we carry forward together. Wishing you and your families a safe, meaningful, and blessed Independence Day!

With gratitude and respect,


God bless you all and God bless America!

Silver Rose Calendar Schedule June/July 2025

Brothers,
With some last-minute additions and rearrangements, I’ve attached what should be the final Silver Rose schedule for Utah.
One request: If your entry in the calendar doesn’t show a time for your event, please let me know that information. My apologies if you already let me know and I missed it.
I believe I’ve reached out to most, if not all, of those involved in transferring the Rose.  If you have questions regarding transfer into or out of your District/Council, please let me know.
Thank you!! For the past few years, we’ve typically had 10 or 11 Councils hold a Silver Rose event.  This year, we have 15 Councils and Parishes participating in this vital program, which respects the dignity of life.
Vivat Jesus,
SK Michael Leith
Utah State Silver Rose Chairman

¿Qué son los caballeros de colón?

Los Caballeros de Colón es una sociedad de beneficio fraternal para hombres católicos que se formó para brindar ayuda financiera a los miembros y sus familias. La ayuda mutua y la asistencia se ofrecen a los miembros enfermos, discapacitados y necesitados y sus familias. Se promueve el compañerismo social e intelectual entre los miembros y sus familias a través de obras educativas, caritativas, religiosas, de bienestar social, de socorro de guerra y de socorro público. Imagina ser parte de una organización que llena tu corazón y tu mente con la alegría de dar a los demás y el sentimiento que conlleva marcar la diferencia. Los Caballeros son hombres católicos, de 18 años de edad y mayores, que están comprometidos a hacer de su comunidad un lugar mejor, mientras apoyan a su Iglesia. Ser un caballero es más que camaradería; está siendo involucrado con su comunidad; es apoyar a su iglesia católica local, al tiempo que mejora su propia fe; Se trata de proteger y mejorar su vida familiar. ¡Ponte en contacto con nosotros para obtener más información sobre cómo convertirte en Caballero!
