Knights of Peter Claver Inc.: Northern States District

        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.

All down in Orange County, California.
