Celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the U.S.

Join the Movement to Consecrate the U.S. to Jesus’ Sacred Heart

American Knights look forward to our nation’s 250th birthday, thanking God for his blessings and marking this anniversary with renewed prayer and acts of charity toward our neighbors.

In partnership with the U.S. bishops, we call on all Knights and their families to dedicate themselves, their homes and their councils to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Join us in making America’s 250th anniversary a year of devotion, prayer and service!
