Faithful Navigator’s Report: FN Ball thanked those knights who participated in the Honor Guard for the Iowa Rabbit Festival.

He stated that a date to discuss next years agenda will be held at the next planning meeting.

Since Wylace Vincent would not be able to attend the Convention PFN Wilson Orphie was nominated and unanimously elected to take his place.

Report of Big Mouth: S/K Martin Troy announced he will be giving up the phone tree in about 90 days. He is moving and won’t be able to handle it.

Patriotic Chairman’s Report: Wylie Richard said there are three Patriotic awards for Kinder, Elton and Lacassine that will be given and that Fred Fluitt had one for Dequincy.

The recipient of the Charles Jaubert Award was inadvertently left out in the March

newsletter. The editors apologies for the error. Msgr. Joseph M. Susi was the recipient.

I leave Sunday morning for a trip East, perhaps to the pope’s Mass on Sunday, April 20. While I will miss some activities, I will be praying for the Assembly and its successful growth into the years ahead.

I will celebrate my 50^th anniversary during the week of June 14 (June18 is the actual date). I hope to stress the fullness of priesthood--of Jesus---but participated in by reason of Baptism and/or Confirmation--or by the Sacrament of Orders. I presume you will participate as you did during my fortieth, but 50 being the year after seven seven’s is a Jubilee in which debts are disowned, slaves are freed, etc. One does that rather quietly. Debts I have, and slaves I may have made through imprudent advice, or what...I mention that in light of the Holy Father... The Mohammed rejected priesthood and many felt Islam more easily grasped and freer as a result...What God has given us in Christianity is more rich--especially when we pursue love rather than power...

In considering officers for next year, please consider a younger, more vibrant friar. While the Bishop appoints, you should be ready with nominees. It is easy to be faithful when you’re old--but hardly more friar for the good of the Order. This year, I am serious for what I see is for the good of that Order.
