Knights Gather for Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children

On Saturday, September 12, 2020, Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Priests for Life and the Pro-Life Action League co-sponsored the 8th Annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children, calling on pro-life Americans to honor the gravesites of our aborted brothers and sisters.

In honor of this day, members of the Knights of Columbus ‘Fathers Borrano/Gallagher Council 11369’ held a solemn prayer service at the Unborn Memorial located at St. Paul’s Monastery in Ellsworth Twp., Mahoning County, Ohio.


Council Chaplain Fr. Matthew Roehrig led four Pauline religious brothers and six council members in prayer for unborn and aborted children.

We gathered to remind our community that the lives of these children matter, and that the loss of these children is a loss to us all.

We gather to resolve not to just fight abortion but to end it.

We will stop at no sacrifice and count no cost in defending the unborn.

The Knights of Columbus remain firmly committed to defending the right to life of every human being from the moment of conception to natural death.


Council 11369 members commit themselves to maintaining this site and pray that it will provide a place where those who have lost their children may mourn and find comfort.

We ask our Lord to watch over this memorial site and all who visit and pray that this sacred place serves as witness to the humanity of our most vulnerable brothers and sisters.
