2013 Grand Knights Welcome

posted Aug 12, 2013, 11:57 AM by Steve Reitano

Father John,Worthy District Deputy,Worthy District Warden,Brother Knights,Columbiettes,Family and Friends.

I would like to thank everyone for being here tonight and take this opportunity to Thank each of my Brother Knights for reelecting me to be your Grand Knight for the upcoming year. It is a Great honor to continue to be Grand Knight of this council and I feel Proud to know that you my Brother Knights have the confidence in me to continue to lead our council. I will as I have in the past continue to give the council nothing less than 100% of myself to ensure that we may continue to grow and have the successes that we have had in the past. With your continuing support I know we will be successful once again in the coming year.

So,In conclusion my Brother Knights, If President Harry S. Truman were here tonight, perhaps he would say something like:Knights of Columbus make history, and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still.Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders with the support and help of their Brother Knights, seize the opportunity to change things for the better. The Knights of Columbus was not built on fear but built on courage, imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.

Thank you.

2012 Grand Knights Induction of Officers Ceremony Speech

posted Jul 11, 2012, 6:39 AM by Steve Reitano

Father John,Worthy District Deputy,Worthy State Warden,Brother Knights,Columbiettes,Family and Friends here tonight. You will have to excuse me for I am in a state of shock and a lost for words right now and It has nothing to do with me becoming Grand Knight or standing here in front of everyone. No. It has to do with you asking me to come up here to speak. Usually I am being ask to be quite,stop talking and sit down. So now you understand why I'm in shock a little bit.

But All Kidding aside, I Thank everyone for being here tonight. I would like to take this opportunity to Thank each of my Brother Knights for electing me to be your Grand Knight for the up coming year. It is a Great honor to be grand Knight of this council but I feel Proud to know that you my Brother Knights have the confidence in me to lead our council. I will give the council nothing less then 100% of myself to ensure that we continue to grow and have the successes that we have had in the past. With your continuing support I know we will be successfull in the future. United ,there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided,there is little we can do--for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.

So, in conclusion my Brother Knights, If President John F. Kennedy were here tonight, perhaps he would say something like: Ask not what your council can do for you-----ask what you can do for your Council. My Brother Knights of the world, ask not what the Knights of Columbus will do for you, but what together we can do for mankind.

With a good conscience our only sure reward,with history the final judge of our deeds,let us go forth to lead the Knights we love,asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own. Thank you.

God Bless America.

Brother Knights,

I would like to remind all that this coming Tuesday(July 10,2012) the council will be having their Officers Induction Ceremony. It will be held in Our Lady of Peace Church at 8PM. Officers should wear a suit or jacket and tie. Everyone else can wear something casual. Family and friends are welcome and encourage to attend. Officers should arrive between 7:30PM and 7:45PM for it takes a few minutes to get things organized. A lite refreshment will be serve after the ceremony. It would be nice if my Brother Knights could come out and show their support for the incoming officers. See you Tuesday night.

God Bless America
