On Sunday, October 18^th 2026, seven new Brother Knights were welcomed into the Knights of Columbus during a Spanish-language Exemplification of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity held at San Juan Diego Catholic Church in Detroit.

The ceremony was conducted by the Spanish-speaking Exemplification Team, led by Armando Figueroa, Michigan Director of Hispanic Outreach. As is our custom, each new brother was invested with a Rosary and the Emblem of the Order lapel pin, marking the start of their journey in faith, service, and brotherhood.

This is an exciting step for Hispanic Catholic men in the Detroit area. These new brothers are growing in numbers and working toward chartering a new council, and we ask all Michigan Knights to keep them in their prayers as they build a home for charity and fraternity in their parish community.

Thank you to District Deputy Claude J. Bergeron (DD131) for sharing these photos and this news. ¡Bienvenidos, hermanos! Vivat Jesus!
