Brother Knights---A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE from the State Deputy

Brother Knights---A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE

Just six years ago we witnessed and experienced the horrific attacks on American soil in New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania. This took place on September 11, 2001. Today, September 11, 2007 is the sixth anniversary of those tragic events. This tragedy is the modern day Pearl Harbor for all of us born since World War II.

We must continue to remember those Americans who died in the buildings and airplanes unnecessarily and also to remember those policemen, firemen, and members of the military who also died or were injured in these attacks trying to save those in the twin towers. These men and women were certainly heroes in their own right and deserve to be honored each year.

In 2001 the Knights throughout California responded instantaneously with a Mass and donations to the “Heroes Fund” to help those families affected by the loss of their loved ones. Today, I hope that there will be many Masses of Remembrance for those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. I congratulate each Council, District, Chapter, or Assembly who is taking part in a Memorial Mass today.

We must never forget those who died then and we must continue to pray for the safety and protection of the members of our military who are fighting for our freedom in the Middle East. They will always be in my prayers.

May Almighty God Bless Each And Every One Of You And May Our Lady Of Victory Protect You.

Yours in FAITH, CHARITY and FAMILY,


James R. Scroggin, PSD
State Deputy

1st and 2nd Degrees Sept 13th Escondido

Brother Knights

The Regina Coeli Council 4953 will host BOTH a First and Second Degree Exemplification Ceremony
on Thursday, September 13th in the K of C Hall, located at 515 W. Valley Parkway in Escondido.

Check-in time for the 1st Degree will be 6:45 p.m. We plan to close the Main Entrance Door (on the
West side of the building next to the parking lot) at 7:15 p.m. Our council will start the 1st Degree
at 7:15 p.m.

For those that arrive after 7:15 p.m., they can enter the hall through the street entrance on the North
side of the building. They can wait in the bar area until the 1st Degree is completed.

The 2nd Degree will be conducted by the District 104 Second Degree Team from San Marcos and
will start as soon as possible following the 1st Degree (approximately 8:15 p.m.).

At this time we do not have an estimated number of candidates for the First Degree, but we will be
flexible and take care of all who show up on time.

All councils should provide membership cards, rosaries, and copies of "These Men They Call Knights"
for their candidates.

As all of you should know, there is a Third Degree Exemplification Ceremony scheduled for
Sunday, September 23rd at Council 13007 in Lakeside, so this is a great opportunity to have all of
your council's candidates complete all three of their degrees this month.

Hope to see you all Thursday evening - September 13th.

Fraternally, Bob Kundinger, PGK Team Captain
