 From
the District Marshal
South
SK
Antonio Otero
Sir Knights,
Please support these callouts by informing all members of your Assemblies with regalia. It is the Assembly Commander's duty to get this word to his Sir Knights in an expeditious manner. Sir Knights are free to participate on their own depending on their circumstances. Please make this known. As much as we like an official Assembly representation, it is several individuals acting on their own that usually get the job done.
Vivat Jesus!

Note From the Master:
CONFIRMATION SCHEDULE WITH BISHOPS
We are now entering the season of confirmations and the sacrament has changed from prior years so sometimes many visits to a parish are planned to confirm the various groups of confirmandi. In Phoenix, the confirmation schedule is published on the events page. As opposed to last year, the celebrant is not mentioned so I do not know which events are with the Bishop. Unlike Bishop Kicanis, Bishop Olmsted does not publish his schedule.
So please check the schedule for your parishes, ask the Pastor if he would like an honor guard for the confirmation. If the Bishop will be present, please advise your assigned Marshal and myself so we can evaluate the callouts. If the Bishop will not be present, I ask the Assembly to accommodate their Pastors. I am sorry if this seems like a lot activity for each of the 41 assemblies out there but the for the Honor Guard, this is what we do. Like the membership poster says, “Sir Knight” is not just a title. It is an honor. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT, SIR KNIGHTS.
Keep checking this website and the emails my marshals are sending to each commander, navigator, MASTER, VSM, Former VSM and former Masters. Commanders please copy your marshal when you notify your Sir Knights. It only takes one SK from several assemblies to make a
good turnout. SK can report for callouts on their own. Thank you, I am very proud of you and all that you do.
Sir Knight Armand Brooks
Master, Arizona District
A Place to Grieve. A Place to Heal—This is the
inscription on the statue erected by all the Knights of Columbus in
the Phoenix Diocese to reflect the Arizona State Council’s pro-life
position. Fourth Degree Color Corps from all
over the Diocese gathered at Holy Cross Cemetery in Avondale for the
parents of miscarried children. The Catholic Cemeteries make
arrangements to receive aborted fetuses from hospitals and bury them
in the plots. The practice of the burial of the aborted, stillborn
and miscarried Holy Innocents continues today. The Memorial lives up
to its motto.
