From The Faithful Navigator’s Desk: Brother Knights: Brothers, as I write this letter, I can envision all of you at various events and pray for all of you and your families. There are two Knights that will become Permanent Deacons on June 2nd at the Cathedral in Philadelphia.   Mark Meinzer is a member of Father Letterhouse Council and George Harmansky is a member of Father Bally Council. We are drawing near to the end of this fraternal year and there are still important activities to be completed.  As you may or may not know, we held nominations for officers at our April 4th conclave, and ask for your participation and support at the May 2th conclave for the election.  We had several Brother Sir Knights step forward and accept nominations.  I offer a very heartfelt thank you for your interest in your assembly. We are all aware of the 4th Degree Exemplification coming May 26th and 27th. .
