Warmest greetings from the Government and the People of the Republic of the Philippines to the members of the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus as you assemble for your I26th Annual Meeting in Quebec City.
The invaluable contributions of the Knights of Columbus in addressing the needs of the less fortunate individuals around the world have made it a prestigious and respected Catholic fraternal organization. Through the years you have generously donated nearly $1.25 billion for charitable causes and volunteered nearly 400 million hours of invaluable service to the communities where your various councils are located.
In the Philippines, the Knights of Columbus has conducted humanitarian services, medical and dental missions, and other charitable activities that have helped a lot of indigents in the country. More importantly, it has made its apostolate life impact the spiritual lives of many Filipinos.
As you gather for your 126th Annual Meeting, may you be blessed with new ideas that will further uplift the lives of people around the world, especially the poor and the needy.
