He is Risen! Brother Knights of the Archdiocese; He Is Risen! The darkness of Good Friday is now the light of salvation on Easter. Let us take this time of Easter to not dwell on the bad but on the good and to thank our heavenly Father for the blessings he has given us through his life and resurrection. Let us continue the great works we do as Knights in our Cincinnati Archdiocese communities and parishes, in his honor, so that we may be worthy.
Thank You for an Awesome Growth Month in March! Brothers this pas March we had our best recruitment e orts in the last eight years with a total of 55 new brother Knights brought into our Archdiocesan councils. It reminds me of the old March Blitz we would host. Whatever you’re doing let’s keep doing it. I feel like we’re nally out of the “funk” we’ve been in.
State Convention The 125th Annual State Convention is quickly approaching. As the host diocese I am encouraging all our councils to not only send delegates but also considering attending the Friday Night Party. The cover charge for the Friday Night Party featuring the dulcet tones of our own brother Knight Mike Davis is only $25/person and includes beer, soda pop, and snacks. Plus make sure to stop in at the hospitality rooms afterwards for some fraternity. Go to the state website to pay for your Friday Night Party ticket: kofcohio.org > Activities > State Convention If you’re not a delegate please consider getting a room for the night or both nights and attend the Saturday Memorial Mass then explore the area Saturday followed by the closing Mass on Sunday morning.
Under 40s to Meet Our own Robert Richter, Grand Knight of Father Butler Council 968 Cor representative will be hosting a rst ever Under 40 gathering at the Marriott on Friday Afternoon at 3:30 PM. There will be both discussion and fraternity on the commonality of being young members of our order.
Statewide we have seen an uptick in younger members. Make sure to get their picture with their proposer, council Growth Director or Grand Knight into the church/family bulletins and on social media/council website. Thank you for making the e ort to recruit at Delta Church Drives and council service projects.
As we begin to come to the conclusion of our frater nal program year this April 15th I want to thank you my brother Knights of the Archdiocese for all that you do within your communities, parish families, councils and for our Order in Blessed Michael McGivney’s honor. Let us Be Worthy! Vivat Jesus! Michael J. Felerski State Secretary

I met a young man right out of college at the Salve Regina sh fry at Saint Mary school. He was selling beer. We talked and he was going to sign up using the QR code on the back of my business card once he was done working the booth. I know the council will keep him active, in a way they already do.
