    THE ONE HUNDRED NINETEENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE MICHIGAN STATE COUNCIL KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS GRAND HOTEL MACKINAC ISLAND, MICHIGAN MAY 23, 24, and 25, 2019 STATE OFFICERS State Deputy William H. Chassé Lansing State Secretary Walter K. Winkle, Jr. Columbus State Treasurer Christopher A. Kolomjec Grosse Pte. Farms State Advocate Barry M. Borsenik Birch Run State Warden Charles E. McCuen III St. Clair Shores State Chaplain Rev. Paul E. Erickson Lansing OPENING MASS HOMILY: Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron Vivat Jesus. It is my experience of at least some 40 years of being a priest that God in His providence appoints a reading for us to hear that is apt for the moment. And in the 11 times now that I’ve been able to preside as the Archbishop of Detroit at the beginning of our convention, it’s true, and I find it particularly true this afternoon. Because in meditating on this very short gospel—three verses only—what I heard in the Lord’s word is a foundation—a commentary, really—on the four principle goods that we pursue in our order: the good of charity, the good of unity, the good of fraternity, and the great good of patriotism. And I think this is important for us to think about and to understand that God’s own word speaks about these realities so that we at least begin our time together in the conviction that we didn’t make this up. This is not our construction. Yes, certainly, there are committees and groups, but your participation in the Knights of Columbus, in this fraternal order, is an extension of having heard the word of Christ and responded.
