Worthy Sir Knights, Brothers, and Families,

I am very honored and humbled to have been appointed the next Master of the Virginia District. The Virginia District has been the finest District in The Calvert Province and one of the top Districts in the entire Order. WE have a legacy to uphold going forward.

I am especially excited and honored to be the Master as we celebrate the 125^th anniversary of the Fourth Degree and the 125^th anniversary of the Virginia State Council. What a great recruiting point to bring men into the Order and to raise those Brother Knights to the honors of the Fourth Degree.

My gratitude to the Sir Knights that have accepted taking on the duties of the various District staff positions. We have a very talented and experienced staff.  The entire District staff and I are fired up and focused on working with the Assemblies to grow membership, cultivate service to the church and our country, and continue to be the visible arm of the Knights of Columbus.

May God Bless You All For All That You Do.
