By: Cliff Wasmund - Sun, Jul 21, 2024 6:08 PM

Dear Brother Knights,

Thanks to the efforts of Blessed Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven, and some of his parishioners, the Connecticut state legislature on March 29, 1882, officially chartered the Knights of Columbus as a fraternal benefit society. The Order, which has become the world’s foremost Catholic fraternal organization, is still true to its founding principles of charity, unity, and fraternity.

On Saturday, September 7, 2024, we will observe the installation of our new State Deputy, Barry M. Borsenik, the other state officers, state chaplain, diocesan chaplains, district deputies, state directors, and regional directors from across the state of Michigan. The Installation Mass will be held at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption located at 615 Hoyt Avenue, Saginaw, Michigan, at 4:00 pm. This will be followed by a reception and banquet beginning at 6:00 pm at the Horizons Conference Center located at 6200 State Street, Saginaw, Michigan 48603.

We are extending an invitation to your membership to attend this important occasion. Tickets are $65.00, which includes dinner, an open bar and entertainment. Tables seat eight people. Please send your check, made payable to Michigan Knights of Columbus, to Sue Thorn, 768 Lockmoore Court, Rochester Hills, MI 48307 no later than August 6, 2024.To access the fillable RSVP form, click here.
