(There is no cost for this service) 4 GRAND KNIGHT ’S PAGE As you all know, Rev. Msgr. Peprah is from Ghana, and they have a similar organization as the Knights of Columbus, so I thought I would highlight them for this month’s writing. Monsignor’s brother is a 4th Degree in the Knights of Marshall. The Noble Order of the Knights of Marshall is a historical society founded along the lines of the Order of the Knights of Columbus of the United States of America. It is a Catholic Fraternal Organization in West Africa and London with its Supreme Headquarters in Sekondi, Ghana, and aims at bringing Catholic men (and women) together in the practice of Unity, Charity and Service. In the year 1925, some enthusiastic young men of St Paul’s Catholic Church, Sekondi, rallied themselves together to plan the formation of a purely Catholic Friendly Society in West Africa for the purpose of bringing together Catholic men for effective lay apostolate and Catholic Action and provide that friendly social forum for Catholic men, who might otherwise be attracted into other non-Catholic secret societies. These ardent young men made enquiries as regards the history of the Knights of Columbus. They found that whilst the Knights of Columbus exists as a fraternal organization, it also immortalizes the name of a layman, Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of America. Inspired by a similar spirit, this band of Catholic young men, with their zealous leaders: Brothers J Brookman- Ammisah and JA Kwesi-Aaba decided to institute a fraternal society that would immortalize the memory of Sir James Marshall, who acting on the West African scene, championed and espoused the re-establishment of the Catholic Church in the Gold Coast (Ghana), West Africa in the year 1880, after nearly 250 years of the breakdown (1637) of the first Catholic Church established by the Portuguese in 1482.

  • New Council Formation Program Guide
    New Council Formation Program Guide BACKGROUND Welcome to the New Council Formation Program put together by members of Blessed Junipero Serra Region in Northern California/Northern Nevada who were happy to share it with other Regions. Therefore the Five Franciscan Martyrs Region adapted and revised it for use within our region. This program was initiated because there seems to be a universal and real need for newly elected fraternity council members to understand how a council works and what the responsibilities are. There are two parts to the program: Part 1:Introduction to Servant Leadership and Part 2: The Nuts and Bolts of Being a Council The whole program can be viewed at one sitting or done on separate days. We encourage you to pause the DVD for questions, clarification and discussion at any time. There will be specific times in part 2 when we request you pause the DVD to read pages in your packets and have discussion. PREPARATION Please make sure that everyone participating has a copy of the packet that accompanies this DVD program. We encourage you to keep the pages in this packet for future reference. The following pages should be in the packet that is given to all participants: * The True Meaning of Community by M. Scott Peck * Respectful Communication Guidelines! Mutual Invitation * Local Fraternity Council Guidelines and Responsibilities * Individual Office Responsibilities (Each person receives only the page for their position) * Fraternity Gatherings * Annual Calendar * Formation Overview * Pathway to profession - visual chart * OFS Affiliate Orientation program * Review of Attendance * Membership Status * Excused Members * Guidelines for Cells * Structure of the OFS * Websites and Acronyms * Record Keeping * Renewal of Commitment * Care and Feeding of Councils RUNNING THE PROGRAM If you'd like to begin the program by singing The Servant Song with us, click on that icon in the main menu first.
