My brother knights,

My thanks to all the councils who have been diligent in turning in all their paperwork in a timely manner.  Please do not wait until the last minute to submit your paperwork.  Councils are strongly encouraged to appoint “forms chairmen” who can oversee the paperwork.  Approach a younger member of your council (if you don’t have one then recruit one) who is tech savvy and ask him to lend his time and talents to the council and remember to show your appreciation for his hard work.  We have entered a time where things can be done virtually so I cannot accept excuses about not being able to adapt to technology.  Many of you have learned how to use the computer to use Zoom to talk to the grandkids during this pandemic so I’m confident many of you can figure out how to file reports online.  

As of this writing, we are still planning on having an in-person state convention.  Please make sure you elect your delegates and alternates and submit registration and credentials as soon as possible.  Please don’t let your delegates suffer the late registration charges when they can qualify for the discounted ones that are available right now.

I want to thank everyone for their hard work, especially with the challenges that are presented to us with this pandemic.  With our outgoing Supreme Knight Carl Anderson stepping down and our new Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly coming into office, I’m reminded of one of the story titles from the Columbia magazine titled: “let us go forward in hope.”  My brothers, we have accomplished many great things.  We still have work to do.  With the beatification of Fr. McGivney, we are renewed in our efforts to continue forward, accept the challenges given to us, overcome roadblocks, and continue to leave no neighbor behind.  We continue to re-connect with our members, our families, our parishes, and our fellow man.  Let us continue.

I am here to assist you in any way that I can.  Thank you for all that you do and thank you for your continued dedication to the Knights of Columbus.

Vivat Jesus!  Viva Christo Rey!
