Happy Holidays from the National Office!

Dear Claver Family,

The time of year is upon us where we spend time with family and friends over the holidays, reflect on the past year, and look ahead to the coming year.

Reflecting on the past year, we can’t help but feel very blessed.  Blessed by the opportunity to be members of the Claver family in service to the church and mankind.  Blessed by being surrounded by so many passionate members who love our Order and are dedicated to its continued success.  Our success, this year and always, is ultimately due to your efforts in serving your local communities and promoting our Noble Order through your work.

In closing, please join me in thanking our National Office staff for their efforts throughout the past year.  As such, the National Office will close at 12 noon on Thursday December 21st and reopen on Wednesday December 27th.

On behalf of our Most Esteemed Supreme Lady Vertelle Kenion, our National Chaplain Most Reverend Shelton J. Fabre, and in my own name, may each and every one of you have a blessed Christmas and a very happy New Year!

JAMES K. ELLIS
Supreme Knight and CEO

        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).
