In Solidarity with Our Priests

State Deputy Francis Drouhard's Message
February 2010

Our District Meetings are now completed and all Grand Knights should be focused on the remaining five months of fraternal activity. Only three short months remain until we meet in Wichita for our State Convention and then only two more months until the end of our fraternal year.

It is time to re-evaluate where we are, as compared to where we need to be, in our membership recruitment and our programs. We all want to do, and must do, our part in answering the call of Pope Benedict XVI to “Follow Me, Help Us Build Up The Church”. What better time to expand our team of volunteers and to “Help Build Up The Church” than in this “Year of the Volunteer”?
