As we begin the 110th Senior National Convention of the Knights of Peter Claver and Ladies Auxiliary, we were blessed to gather in worship for our Opening Mass. It was a beautiful reminder that before the meetings, fellowship, and service, we first come together in faith, gratitude, and prayer.

May God guide our conversations, strengthen our commitment to service, and unite us as we continue the legacy of faith, leadership, and community that has defined our Order for more than a century.
