Greetings,

It is our great honor to welcome you to the 50 th Anniversary Celebration of Council and Court #181. We are immensely proud of this milestone and grateful to share this special occasion with you. Fifty years ago, twelve men and eleven women from the parishes of St. Felicitas and St. Ailbe united in service to God, the Church, and the Community through the Knights of Peter Claver and Ladies Auxiliary.

Today, we proudly continue that mission. We extend heartfelt thanks to Bishop Perry for his enduring support, to our pastors through the years – Fathers Fleck, Rom and Whittington – for their guidance. We also thank KPC/KPCLA.

Northern States District Deputies Marvin Bardo and Anita Coleman who traveled to be with us today.

We thank our Claver Family Brothers and Sisters for your continued support and fellowship. As we celebrate, let us recommit ourselves to the spirit of service, leadership and community that defines our Noble Order and inspires future Claver generations.

Yours in Claverism,

Grand Knight John Buchanan & Grand Lady Dedra DeLaney
