Another one of us is doing great things... Congratulations Walter Winkle Jr!

Now that the Supreme Knight is on your speed dial, you think that you can convince him to bring the Columbian Squires back? 😉

👏👏Congratulations to Worthy Past State Deputy Walter Winkle Jr. on his new appointment as Vice Supreme Master of the Father Hennepin Province effective September 1, 2025!!!

We are excited and honored to have a Brother Sir Knight from the Michigan Jurisdiction leading the Patriotic Order for the Hennepin Province!!

Brothers!
Please share this with your council families: State Chaplain Father Andrew LaFramboise's family is organizing a special rosary for the speedy recovery of our First Lady, Mandy Borsenik.

Sir Knight Bill and Lady Katherine LaFramboise are calling on all Brother Knights and Ladies to join them on Tuesday, March 25th, 2025, in praying for a Complete and Speedy Recovery for First Lady Mandy Borsenik. The rosary will take place at 3:00 PM, the hour Jesus died on the Cross, on the Feast of the Annunciation.

We have faith that Jesus will grant His Mother's request when she presents this petition to Him.

Your participation in this special rosary is greatly appreciated!

Vivat Jesus!

Brothers, please review and send any comments to me at [email protected] and I will forward them on. Our fellow Brother and Worthy Chief Squire from Florida:

"My name is Daniel Alerta, I am a Chief Squire for one of the last 3 remaining Circles in the state of Florida. I want to reach out and ask how Squires had an impact on your life, if you know anyone part of the program who went on to become priests or discern the religious life, or any fond stories of this order. I am trying to revitalize the circle in my area, recruiting from multiple parishes to keep this organization alive, and to continue to allow young catholic men to grow in their faith."

Anyone interested?

A Squires Circle 801 Alumni of sorts, celebrating 2021 and hoping for more blessings in 2022! (Sorry Trisha Ann... Couldn't tag you for some reason.)

Let's see if we can get some more buzz for this...

Can you spare a minute to help Ray Bilyk? Renew Support for the Columbian Squires program and allow new Circles to be chartered
