And more from the State Deputy

State Deputy Ron Boyce was on Mater Dei radio recenly.  You can find the replay here.

From the State Deputy

Brothers,

 

This is incredible opportunity to not only to listen to Monsignor Eduardo Chavez the world's most renowned expert on the Guadalupe apparitions, Sr. Juan Diego, and the role of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the New Evangelization.  We will also exclusively have access to the Relics of the Mexican Martyrs and the Supreme Icons. These relics and Icons are usually reserved for events like the Supreme Convention. 

 

The State Council will need volunteers from Council members to make this a successful event.  We are going to need at least 50 members and/or families to be ushers, parking lot attendants, and security to help with the 2,000 people that we anticipate showing up for the Guadalupe Encounter. I am asking the Grand Knights and Financial Secretaries to talk with your council members and call or email me back with the number of men and their families who wish to not only help but enjoy this spectacular retreat. 

 

This will also be a great opportunity to check off the Spiritual Reflection program that Supreme requires for Star Council and Columbian Award.

I attached the Guadalupe Encounter Flyer. Please give a copy to those who would like to volunteer and those who wish to attend. Thanks

Vivat Jesus,

 

Ron Boyce
