On Friday December 9 and Saturday December 10 the Mid-Year Organization meeting was held at the Amway Grand Hotel and Conference center in Grand Rapids. This meeting is meant to inform the District Deputies and Diocesan Directors of their responsibilities and what is expected from the councils. To assist them, presentations and workshops are provided by the State Leadership team which includes the State Directors, State Officers and the State Chaplain.

The progress of our goals of membership and programs at the mid-point of the Fraternal year are covered and re-evaluated. Encouragement is the most important element of the sessions, so all leave inspired to tackle the challenges of the remainder of the Fraternal Year.

In his addresses to the state leadership team assembled the State Deputy reminded all that we need to be united to promote our faith and our church. “Mean what we say and say what we mean” and we as Knights are the “male face of the Church”. He also emphasized to not focus on self. We need to bring membership to all Catholic men to help them increase their faith.
