Navigator’s Message
Sir Knights,
We hosted another amazing Spaghetti Dinner last month con-
tinuing a Winchester tradition. Thanks to Jay Skidmore and
his large band of volunteers. They have this event down to a science. Thanks also
to terrific Boy Scout Troop 45 for their cheerful service again. This event is a
testimony to how we Knights all pitch in to serve our community and parish and
raise money for charity.
Our Color Corps was busy during Lent and Easter being “The Visible Arm of the
Knights.” We had the privilege of serving at the Holy Thursday Mass at St. John
Bosco and leading the procession to repose the Blessed Sacrament at the altar in
the Knights Hall – the old Church. We also served as ushers in social regalia at
the Easter Vigil Mass at Sacred Heart of Jesus. These are always two of the most
beautiful and holy ceremonies of the year.
I encourage you to let me know if you would like to become a member of our
Color Corps.
Our West Virginia Brother Knights have invited us to participate in their Exem-
plification of the Fourth Degree on June 10 at St. Leo parish in Inwood, WV. I
plan to attend with at least one candidate who will join the Fourth Degree that
day. Please contact me if you have a candidate in mind or if you would like to
attend as an observer. There will also be the Nov. 11 Exemplification in Ports-
mouth, VA.
Our next meeting will be at 7:30 pm May 9 at Deacon Ed Council Hall in Win-
chester. We will elect officers at that meeting for the 2017 – 2018 fraternal year. I
hope to see you there.
God bless you and your families and the United States of America.

sequent military chaplaincy. The AMS has no parishes from which
to draw financial support and relies solely on dona<ons. For more
