Past Grand Knight's Comments
Worthy Brothers,
As I bring my term as Grand Knight to a close, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Serving as Grand Knight for the past six years has been an honor and privilege.
These years have been filled with meaningful challenges, tremendous teamwork, and countless moments of shared faith and fraternity. Your dedication to our mission, your willingness to serve others, and your unwavering support made my time as Grand Knight not only possible, but incredibly fulfilling.
I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together—from our charitable works and parish support to the growth of our council and the deepening of our bonds as Catholic gentlemen. None of that would have been possible without each of you standing shoulder to shoulder with me.
Thank you for your trust, for your friendship, and for the spirit of brotherhood that defines who we are. Though my role will change, my commitment to this council and to the Knights of Columbus remains as strong as ever. I look forward to supporting our new Grand Knight and continuing to serve alongside all of you.
May God bless each of you and continue to guide our council in all the good we do.
Vivat Jesus, Robert
