I'm a soon-to-be 4th Degree Knight (September 18). Congratulations, Hoya, and welcome to the best Catholic lay organization there is.
My brothers, I'm certain that upcoming issues of Columbia will have many great "Knights in Action" stories and photos. The Order is stepping things up in a big way. I've never been more proud to be a San Antonio resident, a Catholic and -- especially -- a Knight.

Dear AlaninSA,
Congratulations on your upcoming Fourth Degree!
Then, I'll address posts to "Dear S/K AlaninSA." ;-)
"The Order is stepping things up in a big way."
Yes, Supreme Knight Anderson's leadership is exemplary.
I've already sent a modest donation to the fund - going to try to work it into my budget for the next couple of months. I'm going to see if our Council doesn't want to dedicate some sort of fundraiser to Katrina Relief.
We had a Communion Breakfast the Sunday after September 11, and just put out a basket for donations that we sent to Supreme to distribute. We're a small Council, about 80 folks, and of course, not everyone came to the Breakfast. Nonetheless, we raised $500 on the spot.
I'd like to do something similar this month at our Council.
If every Council (and there's 13,000 of them) could kick in a few bucks, we'd raise millions more.
But beyond the money, let's remember to pray for these folks, too.
Vivat Jesus!
