For more than a century, the Knights of Columbus has had a strong presence in the Eternal City. From Pope Benedict XV’s plea to assist the youth of Rome in 1920, leading to the construction of sports centers throughout the city, to modern-day support of Vatican communications and restorations of sacred art, the Order has built bridges with both the Holy See and the people of Rome.
A century of charity in the Eternal City began with a historic Knights of Columbus pilgrimage.
