I am very please to report that Knights of Columbus announced this evening that they will be purchasing The Pope John Paul II Cultural Center in Washington, D.C. They will continue the mission and message of Blessed John Paul II, and continue the work of the this great Catholic Museum located next to Catholic University of America. My prayers have been answered that a good steward would be found for this fine institution.
The Knights of Columbus have accomplished many great works for the Catholic Church and charitable work throughout the world. In the past year, they helped finance the new vatican news website, and gave to charitable causes with $154 million and over 70 million man-hours. They also are financing much of the upcoming World Youth Day in Spain.
