One of the defining characteristics of the Knights of Columbus is its members’ deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Every Knight receives a rosary when he joins the Order and is encouraged to turn to Mary as his own Mother, so that she may lead him closer to her Son.
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thine womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
