We had a wonderful Exemplification ceremonial on Sunday, August 17th, at the Saginaw Diocese Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption.  This was the first such Exemplification in our quest to establish a new council at the Cathedral.  We are well on our way towards making this a reality.

 

Today, we had a total of 20 men become 3rd Degree Brother Knights!  Four of the 20 were from the Fr. Nouvelle Council #4232 located in Saginaw.  The other 16 will become charter members of the soon-to-be new council at the Cathedral.  The Saginaw Exemplification Team led by Frank Cieszlak expertly performed the ceremonial.  About 15 family members witnessed this event.

 

The Rector of the Cathedral is Rev. Fr. Adam Maher.  He was already a 1st Degree Knight, but became a 3rd Degree today!  Fr. Adam is slated to become the chaplain for the new council.

 

Our Worthy State Deputy, Barry Borsenik, was in attendance and charged all of our newly-minted 3rd Degree Knights to have a fire for the faith and to accomplish great things!

 

Also in attendance and personally supporting this Exemplification were:  SDRR Ray Gehlmann, DD703 Mitch Lenczewski, Field Agent Brian Barlow, and State New Council Development Director Tom Kendziorski.
