The Knights of Peter Claver, USA, have elected a new Supreme Knight.  He is James K. Ellis who succeeds DeKarlos Blackmon.  He is the 17th Supreme Knight of the Order which was founded in 1909.  The Order is named after St. Peter Claver, a Jesuit priest from Spain who ministered to African slaves in the 17th Century.   Peter Claver is said to have converted over 300,000 slaves to Catholicism.

We wish Brother James well in his new appointment and pray the Holy Spirit will guide and sustain him.
