Knights of Columbus Council 7566

On Saturday, April 21st, Brother Dominique K. Anato joined the Fourth Degree, the Patriotic Order of the Knights of Columbus. Sir Knight Dominique was among 117 Knights from across Virginia that gathered for this Exemplification that took place at Saints Peter & Paul Roman Catholic Church in Palmyra, VA. He was escorted by Grand Knight Bob Balog and together with four Brothers from the area was welcomed as a new member of the Elizabeth Bayley Seton Assembly #1781 in Sterling, VA. Congratulation Sir Knight Dominique Anato!

On April 10th, Brothers Andrew Eberly and James Mueller from our Family of Man Council received their Formation Degree during a special ceremony held at All Saints Catholic Church in Manassas, VA. They were escorted by our Grand Knight, Bob Balog and Membership Chairman, Brother Mike Poland.

The principle of the Formation (formally 2rd) Degree is Unity and it reflects the strength of our Order when acting together.

Please congratulate our Brother Knights Andrew and Jim on achieving this significant milestone.

I was in prison and you came to me (Matthew 25:36)
