East Texas Visitor

The state deputy, Alfredo Vela and wife Rosa made the long trip from the valley to visit east Texas; specifically to visit the knights of Council 10524 as they conducted their first ever in-person exemplification. Joining the state deputy and first lady was Fr. Lowry, Pastor St. Edward parish, the state Director for Education and Training, David Zeigler and his wife Laura and District Deputy Larry Pfeifer and his wife Karen.The degree team was led by field agent James Spellman and included SK Robert Garrett, SK Tom Calderon, and James Curtis with GK Bob Dietz.

The exemplification was a great success as the council brought four new members into the council including two e-members plus one reactivated member and two members completing their third degrees. The state deputy spoke to all the knights present and especially the new knights encouraging them to remember who we are; we are Catholic men. He also encouraged all to get active with council activities and to remember to pray the rosary.

After the exemplification a great spaghetti dinner was prepared by chef SK Wray Morris and served by sir knights and ladies of Assembly 2570. The exemplification was a very successful event in spite of the COVID and it was great having the state deputy once again in east Texas.
