New Hampshire's Capital Sir Knights
Assembly Sir Knights Meet Francis Cardinal Arinze:
Monsignor Buckley Assembly #0627 and our 4th Degree Color Corps, recently served as a welcoming team in full Regalia for Francis Cardinal Arinze, who visited New Hampshire, on Saturday, April 18th.
Cardinal Arinze travelled from Rome and spoke at CR Sparks in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Recommendation of our Assembly for the event came from Saint John's Pastor, Fr. Steven Montesanti, a Brother Knight of Concord Council #112 and Pat Magee from the Diocese of Manchester. Becky Simpson (retired US NAVY) of Pembroke, coordinated the event and was very thankful for our participation and the excitement of the evening.
Our Assembly Sir Knights and wives had a personal meeting with Cardinal Arinze about 4:00pm-5:00pm, with a social that followed between 5:00pm-6:00pm and Dinner/Banquet afterwards at 6:00pm.
