Grand Knight's Message

20181017_192449

Grand Knight,

Jonathan De Leon

Worthy Brothers, Friends, and Family,

As we get into the swing of things during this Fall season, we have a few things planned over the next few weeks.

In this week's Council meeting, we welcomed our newest member, Andrew Bunsa, to the Council. Andrew lives in the area with his wife, Samantha, and 2 young boys (soon-to-be 5 and 3). We also went over the logistics for our Veteran's Day ceremony on Sunday 11/6. We need volunteers to help assemble the flags on Thursday 11/3, 7PM.

Lastly, there is a "Purpose Driven Retirement Strategies" webinar this Friday, 10/29 at 7:30PM. This counts towards a Fraternal Benefits Night if we have 7 people register. We need a few more to sign up. Your spouses can attend too! Click this link to register. We need to have 2 Fraternal Benefits Nights to earn the Founders Award!

Please see below for the calendar of events over the next few weeks:
  • Saturday, 11/5, 4PM Mass: Blessed Sacrament Church: Memorial Mass for all deceased Knights
  • Saturday, 11/5, 5PM: Blessed Sacrament Church: Installation of Officers, all officers, please attend.
  • Sunday, 11/6, approx. 1PM (after the noon mass): Blessed Sacrament Church: Veteran's Day Ceremony
Note: our next Council meeting on 11/9 will be via Zoom because the Church will be undergoing repairs that week.

All members are invited to our Assembly's Christmas Party, please see flyer below. Sunday Dec. 4th starting with a memorial Mass at 5 PM

Rebuild. Rebrand. Reinvigorate.

Vivat Jesus,

Exemplification Ceremony

The Knights of Columbus has revised the degree program; it is now one Exemplification Ceremony which combines 1st. (Charity) 2nd. Unity and 3rd. Fraternity, our Orders' principles. 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 nights 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.
