The December 2009 edition of Columbia features photos of the recent disaster relief efforts of the Knights of Columbus in the Philippines, as well as articles about the Church’s use of social communications. Also, in light of the International Year of Astronomy, a Vatican astronomer discusses the Church’s relationship with science, as “the heavens proclaim the glory of God” (Ps 19).

Anderson, Supreme Knight

“You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church.”
