Sir Knight Meyer served as the Master of Ceremonies.

 

The dinner brought in a big crowd that included 12 priests with over 500 years of priestly service experience. Eight Sisters of St. Francis were also present, in addition to four Knights of Columbus State Officers, two District Deputies and 40 plus members of the Knights.

 

Attendees were encouraged to help be a catalyst in creating a culture for promoting vocations.
