First Class dining in Durham

It is time to spiff up your tux to look sharp for your lady as you prepare for our January 2012 Fourth Degree Social at the Durham University Club.


The dinner is Wednesday, January 25th, 2012.


We will have our social gathering (cash bar) at 6 p.m.  At 7 p.m. we will sit down and prepare for another great dinner buffet.  


The price is the same as before and includes your gratuity.  That means you will dine in luxury for less than you pay at one of those local chain restaurants.

Amputees Go Home for Christmas

For five consecutive years our Assembly has stepped forward to do something to honor our veterans on Veterans Day.   We took time to honor our serving military by doing something very special for our wounded warriors.  This group has a larger number of amputees than earlier conflicts.


They have returned home from the battlefield to receive rehabilitation training and prosthetics.  This is an amazing group of proud men and women.  They are eager to return to normal and many want to return to duty!  But, they are assigned to hospitals and rehab and would not normally have the funds to go home for Christmas.  We changed that!

The Knights of the Fourth Degree, Desoto Province (North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Puerto Rico), jointly use this time of year to raise money to send our local North Carolina amputees home for Christmas.  This includes both Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune soldiers, sailors, and marines.  We do this by working with the Military Order of the Purple Heart.  They provide matching funds and ensure the vets get taken care of.

Last year the Desoto Province worked to help send 303 warriors home by mid-December. Then, 60 more flew in with 17 war dead.  It was December 15th.  Our Knights and the Military Order of the Purple Heart met the challenge and quickly raised enough money to include these 60 vets!

We are humbled and honored to perform this service as part of our ministry.  Our Assembly raised $5,125.56.  We thank the members of our assembly and the parishes of St. Thomas More and Holy Cross in Durham for their deep pockets and warm hearts.

Watch this video to see just what a difference we are making by seeing our hospitalized veterans return to normal through rehab.  You are sure to agree, they deserve it!  Remember, it is not too early to start filling a coin jar for next year’s drive.

Have you listened to the words?

≈ Leave a comment

We go through life listening, but not hearing.  We see, but often miss the horizon and the colors.  This is also true with music.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic.  You have heard it a thousand times, but have you read the words as it is sung?  Can you hear the words now echoing in your mind?

It arrived today in my mailbox from Sir Knight Joe Acciarito and I was about to delete it.  It was loading slowly and I, as always, was in a hurry.  Something told me to slow down, to take it a little easier, to listen.   I could hear Joe!  An introduction appeared and I was intrigued, then flag unfurled and I was in awe.

Patriotism is our basis, the bible is our sword.  Watch, listen, and  read the words as they are sung.  It is a message about Christ and His love.  Watch video
