Knights of Peter Claver Inc.: Northern States District

After the fanfare of the conference, it was time to remember why we are an organization. Clavers are Christian centered, modeled after Saint Peter Claver. Mass was bright and early on Palm Sunday in the hotel.   District and National Officers enjoyed some greeting time as we prepared for the Conference Mass.   We also had the pleasure of Papal Knights and Dames in attendance of the conference. Do you recognize them?   The Vice Supreme Lady and a new Sir Knight pose for a pic minutes before the Mass begins.   Current and past National Officers...Can you name them all?

At the Saturday Banquet, there were many winners. The dinner was good. The dessert was good. There were Clavers that won awards for their service to the order in the district.   A Grand Lady from Chicago Court 176 represented her court, winning an award for greatest expansion in her court since the last conference.   A representative from the local court 256 won an award for best court in the district.   The grand lady from 247 won Grand Lady of the Year Award.   The Ladies District Secretary and Directress were acknowledged for their years of service as officers of the Northern States District.   The President and Financial Secretary acknowledged the past Vice President of the Northern States District for his service rendered to the order as an officer.   The National Officers posed for a quick pic after the awards were issued.   After the awards were done, Clavers started to party. I got a pic of a visiting priest enjoying himself.
