Knights of Columbus

On the Dignity of the Human Person

One of your friends says that when she was at Mass on Sunday, the Priest quoted the Catechism of the Catholic Church: “Human life is sacred” and that “human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception” (CCC 2258, 2270). However, your friend is confused about why human life is “sacred” and “must be respected and protected absolutely” and wants you to help her understand this teaching. Explain why human life is sacred from the moment of conception and how abortion violates the sacred dignity of the unborn child and their mother. All entries must be received by March 25th, 2025. 

St Stephen the Martyr Knights of Columbus are accepting applications for the 2025 Deacon Wesley Kreun Memorial Scholarship. This is not an academic scholarship, but instead the awards will be chosen based upon the applicant’s service activities within the parish as well as any other charitable activities. There will be four $500, one-year scholarships awarded to individuals attending local Catholic High Schools, as well as four $1000 1-year scholarships awarded to individuals attending an accredited college or university. In addition, we will have one $1000 scholarship to an individual attending a trade school. You can pick up your applications either from the kiosk in the Gathering Space or from the Parish Office between now and April 30. When you have completed your application, please submit it to the Parish Office. For more information, contact Hank Hardy at hwhardy02@gmail.com.
