To: KOC Grand Knights, District Deputies, Council Life Directors
From: Roy Dennehy, State Life Director & Chairman, Annual NH Right to Life Rally/March
Re: Annual New Hampshire Right to Life Mass/Rally/March on January 10, 2026

One of my roles is to plan, organize, and execute the upcoming Annual NH Right to Life Mass/Rally/March/Luncheon in Concord on Saturday, January 10.

 The major factor in the success of this important whole-life event is the great attendance from you brother Knights and your families. At your next Officers’ and monthly Council meetings, please strongly encourage our brother Knights and families to commit to travelling to Concord to stand up for all human life at this year’s most important life-saving event

As a world-wide fraternal Catholic men’s organization, we Knights are “pro-life warriors” who cherish and protect the dignity/sanctity of all human life from the moment of conception in the womb all the way through natural death.

Please distribute this agenda and promote this year’s event on January 10, so our brother Knights can maximize attendance from all our Councils throughout the state.

10:00 AM – Pro-Life Mass celebrated by Pastor Rich Roberge, Christ The King Church, 72 South Main Street, Concord. (We will have a KOC Honor Guard for this Mass. Please plan to arrive at the Church by 9:30 AM.)

11:15 AM – Walk or drive-up Main Street to the front steps at the entrance of the NH State Capital Building on North Main Street for the Rally.

We encourage every family to bring a sign promoting life. (Additional signs will be available to display from the leaders of NH Right to Life)

12:00 Noon – Pro-Life Rally begins with an opening prayer and pledge alliance to our flag. The following guest speakers will inspire us:

12:30 PM – March peacefully down South Main Street sidewalk led by KOC State Honor Guard carrying the white baby casket past the Women’s’ Equity abortion facility returning to Christ The King Parish Conference Center.
