The Bulletin of the Holy See Press Office released the video message sent by Pope Leo XIV to participants in the 144th "Supreme Convention" of the Knights of Columbus, gathered in Denver from August 4 to 6, 2026. In the English-language message, the Pontiff says that "in an age often marked by division and heated rhetoric, there is a great need for prophets of harmony" able to reconcile opposing positions, noting that "maintaining unity often is not easy and cannot be taken for granted" and requires "honest and humble dialogue." As in 2025, the Pontiff sent his greeting and encouragement to the Catholic association, engaged for over a century in works of charity, formation and fraternity toward the most vulnerable and marginalized.
