1 From Our Charity Unity Fraternity Patriotism July 2016 Faithful Navigator.. From the Faithful Navigator Ernest Joas As you might know, Richard Simpson and I have switched positions in a manner of speaking. I ve been elected to Faithful Navigator and Richard to Grand Knight. Over the past year Richard and I have coordinated Council and Assembly events as we see the two organizations as they should be, two parts of a single entity, the Knights of Columbus. We will continue to do so for the coming year. Richard has proposed a strategic plan for the year covering all aspects of the Knights and I intend to support his plan both as a Trustee 3 of the Council and as the Faithful Navigator of the Assembly. I trust all in the Assembly will join me in this endeavor of supporting our Parish via the Knights of Columbus. A word from PFN Richard Simpson The annual Fourth Degree Exemplification, hosted by Padre Pio Assembly 2813, was held this past June 25th at St Frances Cabrini. By every measure this event was a huge success. Sixty new brother Sir Knights from all corners of Colorado were Knighted in a ceremony by District Master SK Robert Buljung and District Deputy SK Jim Caffrey. We were honored by the attendance and key note speech by Vice Supreme Master SK Michael Kingman, and our own Faithful Friar SK Rev Sean McGrath was the Class Honoree. Special thanks goes out to our Padre Pio Color Guard for posting the colors, lead by Commander SK Ralph Schmitt. Over 180 were served at the banquet, which featured prime rib. Kudos to our brother Knights who cooked up this wonderful meal, lead by SK Raymond Durbala. Thanks to SK Don Ferega for borrowing china from Christ on the Mountain Parish. And thanks to Judy Conrad and Adalia Simpson for hosting, entertaining, and serving lunch to an extra large contingent of ladies. There are too many Sir Knights to name that worked hard to make this a memorable event, but we do want to recognize and extend a hearty welcome to our new Padre Pio Sir Knights, pictured in the photo on page two. Congratulations to you Sir Knights. Vivat Jesus PFN Richard Simpson SsSt. Padre Pio Assembly No Meetings: First Wednesday of every month, 7:00 p.m.
