Crossroads Pregnancy Resource Center
The Knights of Columbus respect, defend, and promote the dignity of every human person, at every moment and in every condition. Whether by supporting women and their children through pregnancy center support, marching to defend the unborn and their mothers from abortion, or fundraising for a life-saving ultrasound machine, Knights are building a civilization of life and love. In 2022, Knights donated $6.9 million and 438,000 volunteer hours to support women and their children through cash donations and community service activities such as baby and maternity item drives.
Above are pictures from the dedication of the Ultrasound machine at Hope Restored for which the Houma/Thibodaux Diocese Knights of Columbus raised the funds to purchase and donate the machine.
