The Details
On Thursday, Nov 21 at 5PM…For the Opening Liturgy, we have been asked to provide a color guard and men to create a corridor of reverence for the Eucharistic procession as it passes from the altar at St. John the Evangelist to the altar in the 500 ball room to start NCYC 2013. That procession is almost 500 feet (almost 2 football fields) and will as many Sir Knights as possible. This can take up to 300 SKs.
This is NOT 4th Degree only request, ALL AVAILABLE KNIGHTS are need to help form the corridor. We will have 3 tiers of Knights for this event:
- 4th Degree Sir Knights with Regalia – Assigned to the Color Guard
- 4th Degree Sir Knights with Tux and Social Baldric – Assigned to Corridor of Reverence
- 1st thru 3rd Degree Knights – Assigned to Corridor of Reverence
During the event, Within the NCYC will be a booth for Knights of Columbus, asking our youth to consider being a Knight when eligible. The presence of Knights will help enforce the thought that Knights are here for the youth. Please help the youth, and the Knights. .
