Religious Freedom Day Celebrations
On Sunday, January 12, 2020 the Fredericksburg Knights of Columbus Assembly are celebrating Thomas Jefferson’s drafting of the Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom. Each year since 1974, the Knights of Columbus have honored both the Act and President Jefferson in a ceremony for all faiths at the Monument for Religious Freedom in Fredericksburg. We have paid honor to that freedom which ultimately became a basic right of all citizens in every State of this Nation through Article I of the Constitution of the United States. A parade and ceremony will be held downtown starting at 12:45pm at the train station and finishing at the Religious Freedom Monument on Monument Avenue. All are invited to attend.
