Christmas is truly "the most wonderful time of year", cherished by families, children, and friends. Most importantly, it fills us with the love of Jesus.  Christmas serves as a reminder for Christians to proudly proclaim that this season is sacred.  It is crucial for us to emphasize that Christmas is not merely a holiday, but a Holy Day.

On Friday September 29th, a Charity, Unity, Fraternity Exemplification was held at a hunting lodge outside Hillman.  Eight new members joined the Order, including Most Reverend Archbishop Paul Russell - Papal Nuncio! Archbishop Russell grew up in Alpena and happened to be visiting with the campers.

 

The degree was presented by the Gaylord traveling team.

Present at the exemplification were State Ceremonials Director Gene Murawski, Gaylord SDRR Joel Kendzorski, District Deputies James Kendzorski/District 201 and Dave Powierski/District 209 along with members of the Posen and Hillman councils.

 

Prior to the exemplification, a delicious chicken and pork barbecue was prepared and enjoyed by all!

 

Welcome to our new Brother Knights!
