Yes, sir.  The times are changing on us and probably faster than we want.  July 1st marked a new milestone for Knights of Columbus Assemblies.  We have said “goodbye” to our formal wear uniform, cap, and chapeau.

The traditional uniform that made us so recognizable has given way to a tailored blazer, embroidered patch and slacks.  Don’t worry, we are the same dedicated Fourth Degree Knights you have grown accustomed to.

Our masthead for the website still has a few pictures of us in our “traditional” uniform.  Our webmaster is a little behind schedule updating the pictures, but here is a picture of what we will be wearing for all Fourth Degree ceremonials. We think you will like our new look.

All Third Degree Knights are welcome to join our Assembly.  Contact us and let us know of your interest.  We’ll invite you to visit with us at a meeting or social event.  Get to know more about us and you are sure to join in the Knights of Columbus Patriotic Degree.

 

St. Nicholas at St. Francis of Assisi Church

1-Boyd St NicholasFaithful Navigator Jim Boyd traveled to St. Francis of Assisi Church in Raleigh recently to serve as Saint Nicholas at a special kids school breakfast at the Franciscan School.

It was their 15th Annual Advent Pancake Breakfast.  The tradition continued with a few surprises! They enjoyed a wonderful morning of fun and fellowship as we gathered to celebrate the feast of St. Nicholas. Delicious food, live music and caroling, crafts and even a story from St. Nicholas himself!  Jim was overjoyed with the opportunity to dress up for this special occasion.

Jim shared with us a picture.  He said, “Here is that picture of me as Saint Nicolas at the special kids school breakfast last Saturday morning…,” as he beamed with pride at the honor and privilege he had serving others at church.  Jim also serves in the St. Thomas More Church choir.

The Knights of the Fourth Degree are very patriotic and dress formally for church events.  We are there for Bishop Burbridge whenever he needs us for a special mass.

Our knights support special events at churches throughout the area. How about you?  Want to take your participation in the Knights of Columbus to a higher level?  Consider the Fourth Degree.  You’ll fit right in with other Third Degree Knights who were exemplified in October.  See any assembly member for details or email us.

Serving Others is our Mission

Watch for our wicker baskets and smiling Knights

Watch for our wicker baskets and smiling Knights

On Veterans Day weekend, we honor our veterans.  There is a special group of living veterans now in military hospitals.  They are  hospitalized amputees at nearby Camp Lejeune and Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.

These men and women are now undergoing treatment and rehabilitation for their war injuries and they will be there over the Christmas holiday period.  Most do not have funds to travel to their homes for the holidays.  Our mission is to help send them home to be with their families.

Knights at St. Thomas More Church will collect donations after each mass on Saturday, November 8th and Sunday, November 9th. Please be generous.

The Desoto Province Knights are from our churches in North and South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and Puerto Rico.  All donations are tax deductible.  Make your checks payable to the Military Order of the Purple Heart.  Add a notation that the check is for the Wounded Warriors Amputee Project.  The Military Order of the Purple Heart will provide you with a card of thanks and receipt for your gift.

Give opinionA proposal is before the Assembly to change our meeting night from the FOURTH TUESDAY to a Wednesday or Thursday. This is to enable more members to attend our meetings.

Wednesday seems to fit most members and our Faithful Friar can also attend on a Wednesday evening. We ask your consideration of this change.

Please give us your thoughts and we will present them at our next meeting in May. We will vote on a change then.  How do you let us know what you think?  You can complete an on-line form.  There are just two questions to answer and a special spot is provided to add personal comments.

Take surveyWe look forward to your attendance on Tuesday, May 27th.
