Jules Catholic Church in Franklin, LA was organized on November 24, 1957, in support of the men’s Knights of Peter Claver Council 131. There were 16 Charter members initiated into the Order. Lady Almeta Morrison served as the Court’s first Grand Lady. Continuing her work efforts were Ladies Isabella Beverly, Natalie Verdun, Sharon Tyler, Florence Beverly, Geraldine Madise, Jean Franklin, Gwendolyn
Thomas, Carol Dabney and current Grand Lady, Connie F. The original Charter members of Court 131 were dynamic women of faith, eager to assist in helping the Knights with projects geared toward helping the church parishioners, their families, as well as the constituents of the surrounding communities.
