FAITHFUL NAVIGATOR REPORT – Anthony Gasparino

Brother Sir Knights:

As the new fraternal year begins, I want to thank you for the privilege and a tremendous honor to have been voted to be your Faithful Navigator. I am humbled to follow all

our Past Faithful Navigators and their wonderful efforts to grow our Assembly and to have supported our principle of patriotism.

Thank you, SK Robert Calabrese, PFN for your efforts to grow our Assembly, the Military Order of Purple Heart fund raiser and your support of this charitable organization who helps our wounded veterans. Your planning of the Faithful Navigator Dinner Dance to honor SK Roland Salerno, PFN was a wonderful tribute for SK Roland and all our Past Faithful Navigators.

I especially applaud you for being pro-active on moving our Assembly meetings back to Santa Maria del Mar where our Assembly was chartered. I also thank SK E.Y. Walter, our District Warden, for his help and support obtaining a schedule for our meetings at SMdM.

I congratulate all of our newly elected officers and wish them a successful fraternal year. Thanks to our outgoing officers for their contributions.

Our first activity is the July 4th parade. Sir Knights let’s have a large Assembly presence and be marching proudly to honor all those who fought for

our independence and the freedoms our nation cherishes that many have never seen.

The June 9th picnic was a great afternoon for all who attended. Thanks to all who helped with the setup, cooking and cleanup. A special thank you to the Sir Knights and wives who brought salads, baked goods etc. God Bless you all.

The installation of Officers is tentatively set for August. Our Church Committee Chairman SK E.Y. Walter is working to schedule an exact date and I will let you know as soon as possible.

Congratulations to Brother Patrick on his recent retirement. Our Assembly owes Brother Patrick a debt of gratitude with a tremendous thank you for all he has meant to our Assembly for being our Spiritual Director for many years. I personally thank you and appreciate all you did for me the three years I was Assembly Faithful Comptroller. Mary, Queen of the Knights please keep us in your prayers and guide us to have a successful fraternal year. May God keep you and your families safe in your travels this summer. God bless you all. Tony Gasparino Faithful Navigator

Memorial Day Observance (Flagler County)

Corpus Christi Assembly 2810 participated in the Flagler County Memorial Day ceremony on Monday, May 28th. The observance featured American Legion State Commander Steve Shuga, a much-decorated veteran who retired from the U.S. Marine Corps in 1995 after 20 years of service in such places as the Western Pacific, Saudi Arabia, Zaire, Japan and Kuwait. The ceremony also included the singing of the national anthem and “God Bless the USA”; local Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts; and the placing of a wreath at the Veterans’ Monument in front of the Government Services Building.

Corpus Christi Assembly June Picnic

Thanks to all Brothers who attended or

supported our Picnic held at the Monastery last month on Saturday, June 9th. We had an attendance of 50 people. The food was great and thanks to all the spouses who brought a salad or dessert. It put us over the top and the buffet served reflected it. Special thanks to Guy Deluca, and Jorgen Boriths, Fran Lapierre, Tony Gasparino, John Stankovich and Roland Salerno who set-up,

cooked, and cleaned up. They also made sure that they kept the buffet items supplied! Special thanks to Guy and Jorgen, who sweated it out behind the grill! A special thank you to Br. Patrick for hosting the event and to God for the great weather!

If you passed on coming, you missed a great time and good fellowship! Bob Calabrese, PFN

First Exemplification of the Fourth Degree (Feb. 22, 1900 - New York) Along with the addition of “patriotism” to the Knights’ principles came the first Fourth Degree exemplification, which took place on Feb. 22, 1900, in New York City, with 1,100 Knights participating. By the beginning of the 20th century, the fledgling Order was growing dramatically. Councils had been chartered throughout the United States and Canada, and international expansion continued into Mexico and the Philippines in 1905, along with Cuba and Panama in 1909. The Knights also turned their attention to college campuses, in more ways than one. In 1904, more than 10,000 Knights and their families attended ceremonies at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., in which the Order presented the school with a grant for more than $55,000. The funds, used to establish a K of C chair of American history, began a long history of support for CUA. In addition, students at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana soon organized their own KofC council. Chartered in 1910, Notre Dame Council 1477 was the Order’s first college council, launching a subset of the Knights that today includes councils at 244 schools worldwide. Notable events at the turn of the 20th century:

• 1900: The first exemplification of the Fourth Degree takes place on Feb. 22, 1900, in New York City; 1,100 Knights receive the degree. The following May, another 750 Knights take the degree in Boston.

• 1904: More than 10,000 Knights and their families attend ceremonies at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., in which a check for $55,633.79 is presented to the school for the establishment of a K of C chair of American history. From 1909 to 1913, Knights raise $500,000 to establish a permanent endowment for CUA. • 1905: The first council in the Philippines — Manila Council 1000 — is chartered (charter picture,

center page) by U.S. citizens after the Spanish-American War. The same year, the Order expanded to Mexico, establishing Guadalupe Council 1050 in Mexico City. • 1909: U.S. workers in the Canal Zone institute Balboa Council 1371 in Panama City. A degree team from Mobile, Ala., then visits Cuba and institutes San Agustin Council 1390 in Havana.

• 1909: A reported 5,000 Knights meet James A. Flaherty’s train in Philadelphia in 1909 when he arrives at the annual convention where he is elected supreme knight.
