The Gospel needs to be heard today!
Stand with us in this mission.
The Knights of Columbus and the Sisters of Life will once again sponsor "Life Fest" on the morning of the annual March for Life, the Catholic fraternal order announced in a press release. Tickets are now on sale.
“We are honored to partner again with the Sisters of Life, and we hope many will join us as we prayerfully prepare our hearts to march for life in our nation’s capitol,” said Patrick Kelly, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus.
This is the fourth year the organizations have put on the event.
Kelly continued, “Blessed Michael McGivney founded the Knights with a vision to serve the most vulnerable, which in our society includes unborn children and their mothers. Today, Knights work tirelessly to carry out this mission and proclaim the dignity of every human life. Life Fest is a powerful opportunity to find solidarity with thousands of others who share that belief and draw strength from our common faith, especially the Eucharist.”
Life Fest will feature music from the Sisters of Life's band, "All the Living," along with other musical performances. There will be a Eucharistic procession, Holy Mass, and speakers, including Lila Rose.
The main celebrant of the Mass will be Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, who is also the Supreme Chaplain of the Knights of Columbus, said the release.
Bishop Joseph Espaillat, an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of New York, will be the homilist.
Confession and the opportunity to venerate a first-class relic will also be available, said the release.
“We look forward to a fourth Life Fest in collaboration with the Knights of Columbus,” said Mother Mary Concepta, S.V., Superior General of the Sisters of Life.
Today's world, said Mother Mary Concepta, is "hurting and divided, where the goodness of the human person is questioned."
"Every human heart needs to know that they are good, that they matter and that God desires a relationship with each of us. Every woman who is pregnant needs to know that she is not alone and support is available to her. Every woman who has experienced the suffering of abortion needs to know that Christ knows her, loves her, and longs to forgive and make all things new," she said, adding "We must offer a witness to a broken world: that life is possible. Love is possible.”
The event will be held at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, located in Oxon Hill, Maryland, on January 23, 2026. Doors open at 6 a.m. Registration is held on the Life Fest website.
