Let Us Be Worthy State Deputy Je Kiliany has announced his theme for the next two fraternal years: Let Us Be Worthy of the World He Died to Save! “Our program theme encourages all brother knights to do all that we can to better SERVE our churches, councils, and communities within the Ohio State Council. As your new State Deputy of the Ohio Knights of Columbus councils, I am committed to the idea that we can all work together toward ONE common goal: To be worthy and honorable as Catholic gentlemen, being true Knights of Columbus.”
The new fraternal year brings with it some new but familiar faces in new roles here in the 2023 State To ur Arch. FDD John Ho man is our new District Deputy Coordinator for the Arch. Tim Mangan is now the State Family Director. Vic Lauterbach remains as an Arch Growth Coordinator but with all of Dayton and north. FDD Mark Kosobud takes on the Growth Coordinator position for the greater Cincinnati area, and our own Andy Nuckols is our State Membership Director. Michael Freil steps in as State Membership Retention Coordinator, and PSD Dave Helmstetter is the Arch’s Council Rejuvenation Chairman. The OSC Beacon Premier Issue State Deputy Kiliany has reintroduced a statewide monthly newsletter for Ohio: “My very dear friend of many years, former “Buckeye Bulletin” editor, Harding Christ, always said that our members need to be in- formed and that “communications is key”. Phil Salasek has taken on the assignment of editor of The Beacon for this communication that we all feel is so very important for our Ohio Knights. This does not mean The Arch is going away! I will still be compiling any Arch relevant information to share and am always looking for submissions from councils. Michael Thomas will continue to be my publisher and is now in charge of State Public Relations. And don’t forget to check out our Facebook page: In Closing Thank you again for all that you do for our Order. Vivat Jesus!

I hope you are looking forward to the next fraternal year as much as I am. It is time for us to get back to doing the great things we do as Knights and especially throughout the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
