The Northern States District Expands!

Last month, the Northern States District expanded to include a unit in Alexandria, Virginia. On February 22, 2014, District Deputies - Knight Curtis Guynn and Lady Lena Young established unit #398.
 

 
 They are called Bishop Paul S. Loverde Council #398 and Mother Mary Lange Court #398. The proceedings were hosted by Area Deputy Grand Knight David Quarles and Area Deputies Lady Patricia English and Anita Coleman . A total of fifteen knights, including Bishop Loverde and twenty-six ladies were brought into our noble order.
 
 
 
Knights and Ladies from Council & Court #364 in Washington, DC and Sir Knights from the assembly in Philadelphia, PA assisted in the Exemplification of Bishop Loverde and acted as Honor Guards at the establishment Mass.
 
 
 
 This is history since this is the first Knights of Peter Claver units to be established in the Archdiocese of Arlington, VA.

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.
