A message from the Supreme Knight

Dear Brother Knight:There have been times in our country’s past when uninformed or prejudiced people questioned whether Catholics could be good citizens or honest public servants.

Hurricane Michael; Our Help is Needed

There is great need in NW Florida for aid and assistance. We have been asked by the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee to assist in a specific way by providing manpower to help receive and redistribute goods that are being trucked to the area. Currently, the volunteers on-hand cannot keep up with the massive demand, and so aid is being delayed. If you can help, or to learn more about what is being requested of us, please visit: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0d4da5aa28a7fd0-hurricane Information such as Locations, Dates, Times and Specific Needs can all be found by visiting the link above!
