A Message From the National Office!


Dear Claver Family,

Based upon the initial response to the needs assessment that was sent to the effected areas, over 30 Claver Families were impacted by flooding, and as Clavers, we are called to assist our members as they rebuild and restore their lives.

Our goal is to provide direct financial assistance to our members in need, with 100% of the net proceeds (less bank fees and postage) going to diaster victims.

We pray that you will make a tax-deductible donation in support of our efforts to provide some relief to those impacted by this natural disaster. All funds collected will be administered by the St. Peter Claver Foundation, the Charitable Arm on the Knights of Peter Claver, Inc.

CLICK HERE TO DONATE or go to www.kofpc.org/give. You may also mail a check or money order to:

The St. Peter Claver Foundation
1825 Orleans Ave.
New Orleans, LA 70116
Note "Disaster" in the memo section. 

On Behalf of:
Most Worthy James K. Ellis
Most Esteemed Vertelle A. Kenion

Grant A. Jones
Executive Director

"Let us speak to them with our hands before we try to speak to them with our lips"
- St. Peter Claver  .

        Our group toured around Centennial Park in Atlanta, GA. We were staying in the CNN Omni Hotel and congregated in the Georgia Congress Conference Center next door. Executive Director Grant Jones and his staff did an amazing job this year.     The celebrant of the Mass was Cardinal Peter Turkson. Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson is a Ghanaian cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He was president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace from 24 October 2009 to 1 January 2017. Here are some Sir Knights including the Supreme Knight (in red), the Supreme Captain (in purple) and the District Deputy (in dark blue). Here are Past and Present District Deputies of the Northern States District. Here was the joint session of the Knights Of Peter Claver Inc. We learned about Xavier University and the struggle in the plight of human trafficking in our country with the African American community.
