b'RAYMOND G. LEVREAULTASSOCIATE STATE CHAPLAINMy Brother Knights,Welcome to the 120th Georgia State Convention of the Knights of Columbus.I know what some of you may be thinkingHas Fr. Ray been Associate State Chaplain for all 120 Conventions? The convention is a great time for us to gather in fellowship, the sharing of ideas, making of new friends as well as to look at our accomplishments for the past year.Although these past few years have been a struggle, I want you to know that our growth comes best in times of struggle.The true leaders rise to the top and give, give, give of their time and energy, not for themselves, but for the good of the least among us and for all our brothers and sisters in Christ through their participation as Knights of Columbus.I have been blessed in so many ways and by so many Knights and their Wives and families over the years that I have been involved, and it all began when someone said to me, Ray, you need to become a Knight of Columbus, never did I expect this journey to take me where it has.I am grateful for that invitation.So, as we begin a new year, lets do so by inviting someone to become a Knight! There is much to do, and many hands make the work of building the Kingdom here on earth so much easier!Blessings to you allPeace and Blessings!Be Assured of my prayers!Fr. Ray Levreault, ASC21'
