The End of an Era / The Beginning of an Era
It was the end of an era and the beginning of a new one as I presided over my final event as the Navigator of this Assembly this afternoon. I was amazed at the strong showing of 24 Sir Knights, 18 of whom participated by wearing their Legacy Regalia at the Church Groundbreaking. As you know this was our last opportunity to wear the Legacy Regalia and I believe we made this special day in the history of our parish a little more memorable because of our wearing of the Regalia. Many years from now people will look at videos and pictures from this event and notice the Patriotic Degree of the Knights of Columbus. For those in attendance I hope you found the retiring ceremony of the Legacy Regalia moving and meaningful.

Almighty and merciful God, please look with love on those who plead for Your help. Through the intercession of Your servant, Father Vincent Capodanno, missionary and Catholic Navy Chaplain, grant the favor I earnestly seek of blessing and watching over our friends and relatives serving our Country. May Vincent, who died bringing consolation to U.S. Marines he was privileged to serve on the field of battle, intercede in my need as I pray in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
