Grand Knight's Message
|
|
|
Dear Worthy Brothers, Family and Friends,
|
It is an honor to be chosen to lead our Council as Grand Knight for the 2023-2024 Columbian year. Please keep me and our Council in your prayers as we look to serve our parish, our community, our fellow Knights and most of all our Savior in the coming year. An expression of deep gratitude is extended to our outgoing Grand Knight, Jon De Leon. Thank you for guiding this council through the challenging covid years to a place of stability and rebirth.
As we celebrate July 4th, the famous quote from Benjamin Franklin during the signing of the Declaration of Independence comes to mind: “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we will all hang separately.” Dr. Franklin knew that without unity there is no chance of success, but with unity the seemingly impossible can be attained. Let the record show that all 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, at great risk and for some of them great cost, remained unified behind the cause of freedom throughout the duration of the revolutionary war. If any of the signers had waivered, the revolution would have failed and indeed all the signers would have hung separately as would have countless others. One of the four foundational principles of our organization is Unity and the signers of the Declaration of Independence serve as a mighty testimony to the power that principle contains. Happy Fourth of July to all the Knights and their families.
Our next meeting is planned for Wednesday, July 12th at 7:00. Rosary at 6:30. See you then.

Exemplification Ceremony

The one degree is now the Charity, Unity and Fraternity (CUF) degree. The 4th (Patriotism) continues to be a distinct event.
The link below includes a video of the ceremony. Take the time to view this video as a refresher as to what the Knights of Columbus are about and why you joined and to help you explain to your family who the Knights are, what we stand for and what we do.
