State Council is not a Council unto itself, but the governing body made up of representatives for all Councils in the State. Therefore, participa-
tion of each and every Council is essential for a successful year. While each Council is involved with their particular parish and local commu-
nity activities, it is important to remember the lessons of our Degrees, that each Council is also a part of the whole Knights of Columbus Order
and has a stake in State and Supreme activities. State meetings are held on the 2
nd
Thursday of each month, at varying locations throughout the
State. These locations are listed in the State Newsletter, on the State Yahoo e-group, and on reminders sent by the State Deputy. Every Grand
Knight has the responsibility to attend these meetings, or to send their Deputy GK and Financial Secretary, when necessary. All Delaware
Knights are invited and encouraged to attend State Council meetings. Participation at State Meetings is the surest way of ensuring that you and
your Council are kept abreast of Knights of Columbus activity throughout the State of Delaware. St. Peter the Apostle Parish, New Castle will
host the Installation of State Officers and District Deputies on Sunday, July 8th and the first meeting of the State Council for the new Colum-
bian Year on Thursday, July 12th. There will be no August State Council meeting due to the numerous events taking place throughout the
month: the Supreme Convention, the Grand Knights University, and the State Council Picnic. Get involved and start your Council off on the
right footing for the new Columbian year.
