From The District Master

To: All Sir Knights

From: Sir Knight Armand Brooks, Master of the Fourth Degree

I offer all Sir Knights the happiest and most prosperous New Year greetings. The latter half of the Fraternal Year presents us with some great challenges but being the visible and Patriotic arm of the Knights of Columbus we are up to that challenge.

We start the new year, 2007, in the Phoenix Diocese with Adoration for Vocations program. On each first Friday of the month, Adoration of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, in the Eucharist will be present at SS Simon & Jude Cathedral following the 6:15 a.m. Mass concluding on the First Saturday with Benediction and the Holy Rosary prior to the 6:15 a.m. Mass on that day. The Fourth Degree along with other organizations will provide 24 hour Honor Guard for the Holy Eucharist. Each month is assigned to a Phoenix Metro Assembly or Assemblies, if necessary, and their associated councils. The Host Assembly, Bishop Gomes Assemblyl #1805 will lead the way on January 5th. I am looking for Assemblies to sign up for the ensuing months we are assigned. We are asking each Sir Knight with regalia or just tuxedo to participate in the honor guard. Do not miss your chance to spend time with Jesus for an hour or two, we all need it, the world needs it and we need more priest and religious.

Our next Exemplification of the Fourth Degree will be held in Carefree on June 2nd. Details and registration information will be posted soon. Each Faithful Navigator and Assembly captilizes on these plans by getting out to their associated councils and recruiting new Sir Knights. Help the Fourth Degree grow, help your Assembly grow and get them in regalia. We need more Sir Knights to meet the challenges we have before us.

Don’t be confused about the Annual Survey Report. Just as each brother knight reports his hours to his council for their report, likewise, each fourth degree Sir Knight must do the same through his Assembly. These reports are due this month so do not delay, turn in your information at the next Assembly Meeting so that your Faithful Comptroller can summarize the hours and get the report in on time.

Each Faithful Navigator will be receiving a lengthy letter summarizing the many changes that have occurred in the past months. Needless to say I had to hit the ground running when I took over as your District Master, I am just now catching up. I am presently transitioning a new staff member to aid me with the many administrative duties of the district. Look for many things to happen in the new year in the area of communications, membership, VAVS program, and Honor Guard. I wish you all my best because I am proud of each and every Sir Knight out there.

Pray to St Michael the Archangel to protect us in the battle against the wickedness and snares of the devil. “Put on the Armor of God”

Vivat Jesus!

Armand Brooks, Master of the Fourth Degree
