Annual convention Mass challenges Knights of Columbus to be Eucharistic, bring Christ to others
- Sun, Aug 6, 2023 9:25 AM
The Knights of Columbus 141st Supreme Convention held Aug. 1-3 in Orlando gathered Knights from all over the globe at the Orlando World Center Marriott, showcasing its international reach and the "Catholic" nature of the brotherhood; encompassing men of diverse cultures, languages and continents, all held together by the same faith in Jesus Christ.
Bishop Noonan delivered a powerful message to the Knights, reminding us that the U.S. church is called in its 2022-2025 National Eucharistic Revival "to celebrate the sacredness, the beauty and the presence of Christ in the Eucharist."
The bishop pointed out that all things are in God's hands: "Jesus is the master of the harvest," and "he will separate the wheat from the weeds."

BREAKING NEWS!!!
Due to the overwhelming demand for Casey Bears, our supply of Casey Bears has dwindled, and we are out of stock. Over the past 12 months, 80 cases have been distributed to many councils throughout the State. But don’t worry, more Casey Bears have been ordered and are expected to arrive in mid-August. If you want to order now, I will hold on to the order until the shipment arrives. When our stock has been replenished, I will let you know.
Have a Blessed Summer…

From Your State Faith Director
Brothers & Sisters,
On July 21, 2023, my wife and I were invited to the Bi-District meeting in Posen, Michigan to give testimony and talks about veiling.
We very happily accepted the invitation and drove 4.5 hours after work to attend. We were very impressed with the turnout and felt very welcomed.
Talking about our Faith is very important to my wife, Loree, and I. We hope to help turn things around in our Church and bring it back to the way Christ had intended for us. We can cover why the Love of Mass, Orans posture, receiving Holy Communion, prayer and other experiences of our Faith Journey.
Our next stop will be in Benton Harbor on August 1st to deliver the Icon of St. Joseph. We are willing to travel to share our Faith at any of your meetings.
Vivat Jesus!
Bob Bagley
State Faith Director
Love and Pray for each other!
Opening Business session of the 141st Supreme Convention
- Wed, Aug 2, 2023 8:10 AM
At the opening business session of the 141st Supreme Convention, Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly delivered his annual report. The Supreme Knight received a standing ovation in response to this declaration:
"Our religious liberty is under threat, and our deepest beliefs are being labeled as 'hate speech'. Let me be clear: There is nothing hateful about the sanctity of marriage, the reality of biological sex, or the humanity of the unborn child. And the Knights of Columbus will never apologize for defending the truth."

A Word of Encouragement from our State COR Meeting Program Director
- Wed, Aug 2, 2023 7:08 AM
While attending a recent baseball game at Jimmy Johns Field in Utica, Tom Parsch & I were minding our own business, sipping our suds and enjoying some hot dogs, when we were approached by a woman who was attending the game with her husband. The Knights of Columbus logos on our shirts drew her over and she began to tell us: “I had to come over and tell you men how proud I am of what the Knights of Columbus do…”
She told us that she is not Catholic, but a member of one of those ‘feel good’ churches. She expressed to us how frustrated she is with her church, and others, for NOT standing up for LIFE and for being too willing to bury their heads in the sand when it comes to defending the unborn.
She went on to say that she sees the Knights of Columbus as a powerful force for good and that the Knights seem to be the only religious organization standing alone against the evil of the world.
The conversation was impressive and a breath of fresh air. I am sure all Knights have experienced just the opposite, as I have. For example, during walks for LIFE, we have all been given obscene hand gestures and called all manner of vile garbage while marching with “Defend LIFE” signs. It was very encouraging for Tom and I to hear someone publicly say those things to us. It was a wonderful conversation.
We are not alone gentlemen - let us continue to fight and Defend LIFE!
Don’t forget the March for LIFE November 8th in Lansing.
