Bishop Gossman’s Piedmont Deanery Mass a Success

Thank you, thank you, to all of the council and Burlington knights who participated in the bishop’s farewell mass for the Piedmont Deanery. We had six Knights in full regalia and three in social regalia. All nine formed the Bishop’s Honor Guard and processed into the church to lead the religious, clergy, and Bishop into […]


Thank you, thank you, to all of the council and Burlington knights who participated in the bishop’s farewell mass for the Piedmont Deanery.

We had six Knights in full regalia and three in social regalia.

All nine formed the Bishop’s Honor Guard and processed into the church to lead the religious, clergy, and Bishop into and out of the main church. It was beautiful and inspiring to all. Watch for pictures on our web site at http://www.kofc10910.org.

About a dozen other knights and their ladies were peppered throughout the church audience.

The comments from the St. Thomas More parish members and our guests were very much full of praise and appreciation for our participation. One of the priests (Siler City) was very proud of the knights in regalia and made it a point to commend each of us. He is also a member of the Fourth Degree and was proud to share this with us.

Sorry for the late release of this request, but the Knights of Chapel Hill have been requested to provide an honor guard for the Bishop’s mass this Wednesday, September 28th.

Our newsletter had a date of October 28th and that was in error. Here are the details from our newsletter with additional information provided. Please share this information with your fellow Knights. Start your phone trees.

It is time to dust off your tuxes. The Bishop is having a Mass right here at St. Thomas More Church on September 28th. The mass celebrates his 50th Anniversary and retirement.

Sir Knight Bob Wirth is coordinating participation by our council as attendees as ushers or honor guard. Fourth Degree Knights should arrive NLT 30 minutes before the mass. The mass is at 7 p.m. If you are in the honor guard, allow time to put on your regalia. NO SWORDS are used in this event. If you can not participate in the honor guard, show up in your social regalia and serve as an usher. Knights of the Fourth Degree will sit together as a group.

The church is on the NC54/US 15-501 bypass at 940 Carmichael St. Coming from Burlington, it is the light after the light for the Dean Smith Center and NC Memorial Hospital. Use maps.google.com a a good map. The church and school are co-located

There is a reception immediately following the mass. We need your R.S.V.P. that you are participating so that we can ensure you are included in the reception head count.
Let’s honor the bishop. See Bob for more details.

It seems that the students are gone the weekend of October 22nd and that is a game weekend. They are in desperate need of 30 volunteers to man the gates and collect tickets.
If you are a Tarheel fan, this is your chance to help. Here is how:
You must wear khaki pants/shorts, plan white shirt with collar, closed toed shoes. Appearance is important.
Volunteers should report to Gate 2. We have four parking passes for the NC 54 lot which can be provided to some volunteers the week before. Groups can carpool!.
You will need to be there two and a half hours before kickoff and stay until halftime. All volunteers get a pass for lunch and a drink. We don’t know what the game time is yet, but we’ll tell you in plenty of time (usually two weeks before the game) to make final plans.
Brother Knight Connie Raber, our Parish Roundtable Chair, is the council contact for this project. He needs your help.
Ready to sign up? Just e-mail him at: conrad.raber2@va.gov
Let’s show Fr. Leach that the the Knights will be there for him.
