Sir Knights,
The Fourth Degree Honor Guard of Monsignor Bernard G. Collins Assembly #2889 has left a wonderful impression on their brothers in Arizona, as well as citizens who have been in attendance at many, many Masses, parades and other callouts. When the man on the street mentions the Knights of Columbus, he is referring to us.
The Msgr. Bernard G. Collins Assembly Honor Guard
was awarded "Honor Guard of the Year" by District Master, Armand
Brooks at the June 2nd, 2007 Exemplification of the 4th Degree in
recognition of our hard work and dedication. Our assembly
participated on over 40 callouts last year.
Pictured (left to right) are Faithful Pilot and Assembly Commander
SK Kevin McCarthy, SK Mark Low, Faithful Navigator SK Henry
Armstrong, PGK, DD, SK Bill Strube, GK, SK Armand Brooks, Master
Fourth Degree, SK Craig French, and SK Joey Traylor. Not
pictured are Faithful Admiral SK Joe Meyer, PGK, Faithful Purser SK
James Oliver, PGK, and Inner Sentinel SK James Porcaro.
Also not pictured, and the man that taught all of us how to be the
best Honor Guard we could be is our Deceased Brother, SK James Joly,
PGK, PFN, FDD.
It is an honor to have served as your Assembly Commander since
SK Joly's passing. I'm sure we all look forward to another
stellar year of service.
Vivat Jesus!
SK Kevin McCarthy
Faithful Pilot / Color Corps Commander
