                  RECOGNIZING THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES C. MOYLAN

                                of guam

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 8, 2026

  Mr. MOYLAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
the Guam State Council of the Knights of Columbus as they celebrate 
their 25th Anniversary of faithful service, charitable outreach, and 
dedication to the people of Guam.
  For the past twenty-five years, the Knights of Columbus on Guam have 
exemplified the values of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism 
through their unwavering commitment to serving others and strengthening 
our island community.
  Across Guam, the Knights have supported parish communities, organized 
charitable initiatives, assisted families in times of hardship, and 
volunteered countless hours to causes that uplift and strengthen our 
people. Their work has touched lives throughout our island and reflects 
a deep commitment to faith, compassion, and community service. This 
milestone anniversary is not simply a celebration of years, but a 
celebration of the people behind the mission--the men, families, 
chaplains, and volunteers who have dedicated themselves to serving 
something greater than themselves.
  Organizations like the Knights of Columbus play an important role in 
preserving the values that continue to define Guam: faith, family, 
service, and community responsibility. Through both large efforts and 
quiet acts of kindness that often go unseen, the Knights have helped 
foster a spirit of unity and compassion throughout our island.
  The Guam State Council has also served as a source of mentorship and 
fellowship for generations, encouraging leadership rooted in humility, 
integrity, and service to others. Their example reminds us that strong 
communities are built not only through words, but through consistent 
acts of generosity and care for one another. At a time when many 
communities face division and uncertainty, the continued work of the 
Knights of Columbus stands as a reminder of the importance of coming 
together in service and shared purpose.
  Today, we recognize not only the accomplishments of the Guam State 
Council Knights of Columbus as an organization, but also the lasting 
impact they have made on countless lives across Guam over the past 
twenty-five years.
  On behalf of the people of Guam, I extend my sincere congratulations 
and deepest gratitude to the officers, members, chaplains, volunteers, 
and families of the Guam State Council Knights of Columbus for their 
faithful dedication and service to our island community.
  May God continue to bless their mission and guide their work for many 
years to come.
