Knights of Columbus Council in Virginia wins appeal, allowing annual Memorial Day Mass at Poplar Grove National Cemetery.
The Knights of Columbus Council 694 in Virginia has received the Philip B. Onderdonk Jr. Religious Liberty Award from the First Liberty Institute for successfully contesting a federal rule that banned their annual Memorial Day Mass at Poplar Grove National Cemetery. The National Park Service deemed the service religious and prohibited it in 2023, but after the Knights challenged the decision, the government reversed its stance, allowing the Mass to proceed.
