The Liverpool Knights welcomed a new provincial council during the past month, following elections in March. In accordance with the rules of the Order, a new council is elected each year with the officers installed soon afterwards and this year’s elections took place at the provincial council meeting at St John’s, Kirkdale on Sunday 10 March. The installation ceremony followed at St Mary’s, Little Crosby during the 11.15 Mass on Sunday 7 April.The ceremony was arranged by our provincial chaplain, Father Dunstan Harrington, parish priest at St Mary’s, Little Crosby and St William of York, Thornton, and performed by Brother Harry Welsh, the deputy supreme knight. We thank Fr Dunstan for his help and for his kind words in appreciation of the work undertaken by the Order.
