A Message from the National Office for 2018!







Isaiah 43:19 says,
“See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.” 
 
As we enter this New Year, let us know that whether we feel high or low, lost or found, hungry or well-fed, the reality is that God never forsakes us and that He, indeed, is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. 
 
On behalf of the Supreme Lady, National Council and Court Boards of Directors, and in my own name, I wish all a blessed and prosperous New Year and pray that we each stay anchored in our faith, strengthened by our prayers, and fulfilled by His Word.

I hope that your respective units will help begin your New Year by participating in the Knights of Peter Claver and Ladies Auxiliary Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service.  Click here if you need more information regarding the National Day of Service.

The National Office will be closed, Monday, January 1, 2018 and re-open on Tuesday, January 2, 2018.

Happy New Year!
James K. Ellis
Supreme Knight and Chief Executive Officer

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.
