My brother Knights,
As you all continue the good works of the order in your councils, parishes, communities and across the great state of Michigan, I would very much like you to consider sharing your knowledge, experience and talents with your brother Knights.
As Michigan State Training Director, I am looking for experienced, knowledgeable and talented men like yourselves to help me train your fellow Knights.
I need trainers in all Diocese | I do travel quite a bit and love visiting different councils and Dioceses.

Michigan State University Council #17197.
- Sun, Feb 3, 2019 3:30 AM
State Deputy William Chasse is pleased to announce the formation of Michigan's newest Council. January 26, 2019 Supreme Council granted new Council status to Michigan State University Council #17197.
The new college council is starting with 22 members and will have the next 90 days to add to its membership roles with each new member in the first 90 days being name on the council's charter.
The start of this council was the result of many years of hard work by many individuals. This college council will provide great opportunities for young Catholic gentlemen to grow in their Faith, help in their parish and community with service projects, and learn leadership skills that will serve them for years to come.
Congratulations to the newest members of our great Order and to Grand Knight Christopher Kolomjec Jr. (son of our State Treasurer) and his new leadership team at Michigan State University.
You may contact Grand Knight Christopher Kolomjec Jr. @ 313-600-7740.
A special thanks to Father Gary Koenigsknecht, Parochial Vicar of St. Thomas Aquinas and St. John Church and Student Center in East Lansing for agreeing to be the Council's Chaplain and spiritual leader.

46th Annual March for Life
- Fri, Feb 1, 2019 3:30 AM
Even though our State sponsored bus was cancelled the Michigan State Council and wives, along with Pro Life Chair Couple Tim & Cindy Donovan traveled to Washington D.C. on Friday January 18th, 2019 for the 46th Annual March for Life. This year’s theme “Unique From Day One” says it all!
 | Upon arrival on Friday, Fr. Aidan Logan, Vocations Director for the Archdiocese of Military Services greeted us at the Army Navy Club for breakfast in preparation for the March. We then traveled to the National Mall where we joined our Deputy Supreme Knight Patrick E. Kelly to listen to the scheduled speakers. This year Ben Shapiro, Editor-In-Chief of The Daily Wire, Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood Director, Dr. Alveda King, Priests for Life, Vice President Mike Pence, our Supreme Knight, Carl A. Anderson, along with final remarks from President of March for Life Jeanne Mancini. |
From the photos you can get an idea of the amount of youth that attended the March which was very moving to all of us. Friday evening and Saturday were left for sightseeing in and around our nation’s capital. We then went to St. John Paul II National Shrine on Saturday afternoon touring the many exhibits and stories outlining His Life. |  |
 | At the conclusion of the tour we attended Mass at the Redemptor Hominus Church which is within the Shrine. We were so very blessed to have Fr. Paul Ballien from the Archdiocese of Detroit con-celebrate Holy Mass with Fr. Aidan Logan, truly a memorable Mass. First class relic of St. John Paul II Pope in the Luminous Mystery Chapel within the St. John Paul II Pope National Shrine. |
If you have not made the excursion to the March for Life you should consider joining us next year which is in the early planning stages. Watch the website for information to come later this year.
