Dear Brothers: The Fraternal Year is drawing to a close. As a
group, we have accomplished much. We are currently in the process of
accepting nominations for Council Officers for the next Fraternal
Year. I would like you to prayerfully consider being an officer.
Each of us has something to share with our brothers; please bring
your special talent or unique gift to our council. I request your
presence on Monday, June 2, at 7:30PM to participate in the election
of Council Officers for the 2009 Fraternal Year. I would appreciate
your time that Monday evening for a couple reasons: First, to
confirm the nominations and vote for the new slate of officers, and
secondly, consider participating in one of the committees. It has
been an extreme pleasure for me personally, to act as your
servant/leader in this Council.
Fraternally, Vince Nirtaut, Grand Knight

During Pope Benedict’s April 16 meeting with President Bush at the White House, 30 Fourth Degree Knights in full regalia provided an honor guard for the ceremony. It was the first time the Fourth Degree stood in formation for a pope and president at the White House. At Nationals Stadium on April 17, an honor guard of 50 Sir Knights led the liturgical procession at the beginning and the end of Mass. At Yankee Stadium on April 20, as many as 165 Fourth Degree members accompanied priests and deacons as they distributed Communion to the thousands attending. Later that day, a contingent of 50 Sir Knights served as honor guard as the Holy Father departed from JFK Airport.
