Supreme Convention Success

E-mail Print PDF

128th_Logo_AdjustedThe 128th Supreme Convention held in our very own jurisdiction was a great success.  Many of the attendees said that this was one of the best conventions they had been to in a long time.  The Supreme Knight (and our Past State Deputy) Carl Anderson expressed his gratitude and thanks for the event that was put on. 

We would, of course, be remiss in thanking our volunteers who made the event such a great success.  So a bgt THANK YOU goes out to them. 

Highlights

  • The Knights of Columbus announced that they would be paying for prosthetic limbs for any orphan that lost a limb in the Haitian earthquake.
  • The Supreme Knight celebrated his 10th anniversary as the Supreme Knight.
  • Approximately 2,200 attendees were present for one the largest conventions.

Jason Dombrowski

Jason Dombrowski, 24, is coordinating technology activities at the convention registration desk. As a D.C. district deputy, he helps young Knights make the transition from college to adult life.

What do you do when you’re young, college educated, tech savvy and out to change the world? You join the Knights of Columbus.

That’s the path chosen by Jason Dombrowski, a 24-year-old district deputy for the District of Columbia. In the history, structure, size and fraternal strength of the Knights of Columbus, he sees an organization that can turn into reality the positive values and powerful idealism of his generation.

Dombrowski said that a common misperception is that members of the millennial generation are not joiners. They will join worthy causes if they can make a significant difference in a personal and measurable way, he said.

“This generation sees itself as different. They are the first that has grown up completely with the new technology, so they see the world and how to engage it differently,” he observed. “They want to find new ways to solve the same problems of the world. There’s a lot of energy and idealism, and I think the Knights of Columbus is a great organization to put that to good use. But it’s a challenge.”
