Knights of Peter Claver Inc.: Northern States District

Here is an image from Day 1 ... The calm before the beginning of the Northern States District Conference in Columbus, OH. Here are some images from Day 2 ... Playing a healthy game of cards! Eating and Dominoes playing happened! Did I mention the directress singing karaoke to "I Will Fly Away!" A couple of Knights started the festivities with a tribute to the Temptations!

... there is a lot going on. Here is a message from the Northern States District Vice President David Quarles: "TO GOD BE THE GLORY” He is not here but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. ~ Luke 24:6-7 ~ Easter is the time again that we celebrate the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We know that the Lord died so that we might have an opportunity for salvation. We praise and worship him with our heart and soul. On behalf of the Quarles family we hope that each of you will have a wonderful and Blessed Resurrection Day! Enjoy your families! Sincerely David D Quarles NSD Vice President ... a message from the National Chaplin: My Dear Friends in Claverism: The glorious days of Easter are upon us again!!!   We welcome anew the joyful proclamation of the Lord’s resurrection, and the eternal life and eternal Hope ...

Clavers, The Knights of Peter Claver, Inc. is proud of the long relationship we have with Xavier University of Louisiana.  Both institutions were founded only years apart.  Most recently, our Noble Order donated over $300,000 to Xavier University for the Saint Katherine Drexel Chapel, and annually we fund scholarships for deserving graduating seniors.   Recently, some questions have emerged on Social Media concerning our strategy to establish a Collegiate Unit at Xavier University.  While Social Media is not the approved medium to discuss the business of our Noble Order, we are issuing this communication with the intent of addressing many of the questions raised in various forums. In the 2016 National Convention, The National Council approved the recommendation to establish Collegiate Units at Xavier University of Louisiana, Texas Southern University, University of Las Vegas, along with Clark, Morehouse and Spelman.  The Emerging Leaders worked tirel...

Founded in 1909, The Knights of Peter Claver has not only celebrated Black History Month each year, but it has proudly lived Black History every day.  Our organization and our members have provided pivotal leadership, support, and resources to the communities we serve throughout the country for the past 109 years!   We salute our brother and sister organizations who have also held the torch of freedom, equality, and civil rights.  We honor our community, church, and civic leaders who have sacrificed so greatly so that we can have access to the freedoms we enjoy today.  We challenge ourselves and each of you to not only remember and honor the past struggles and gains, but to willfully answer our call demanding that we continue facing the difficulties and challenges of today and tomorrow.   Please visit  www.kofpc.org/blackhistory  to find historic information, activities, and other resources to help you and those you influence "Celebr...

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 O...
