Welcome to the Order and the jurisdiction of Michigan!

This is a photo of 15 of the 41 charter members of the newly developed Council #18819 --- "Cathedral of Saint Mary" --- located in downtown Saginaw at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption. The pastor is the Bishop of Saginaw, the Most Reverend Robert D. Gruss; who is also a charter member of this new council.

In the front row kneeling L-to-R is Grand Knight Maximilian S. Robles, next to him is the council Chaplain Rev. Fr. Adam P. Maher (Rector). The Financial Secretary is standing in the back (far left side) Steven M. Budd. DD703 Mitch Lenczewski is probably taking the picture!

Council #18819 was officially instituted on November 6, 2025.

VIVAT JESUS!

SOAR With Us!
