Archbishop Beltran has Stroke

 

Archbishop Beltran of Oklahoma City, Ok

Many of you already know that our previous Bishop, Archbishop Eusebius Beltran, had a minor stroke this past weekend. He is doing very well and is expected to make a full recovery. He is not allowed any visitors at this time and is to have complete rest. Bishop Beltran left the Diocese in 1994 to take the Cathedra of Oklahoma City.

The Knights are requested to pray for the Archbishop's full and speedy recovery.

Fraternally,

Ernest Chastain XS

Gentlemen,

As previously noted, today is my last day on the job as Assistant District Marshall for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. It has been my pleasure to have served in this capacity for the Order.

The Honor Guard at each Assembly, should be functional by following existing rules and regulations. The FN for each Assembly, is responsible for the Honor Guard. All requests concerning the Honor Guard, are his responsibility. The Dress Code, is his responsibility.

I have one suggestion for FN's, and that is to only consider HG requests when at least 4 HG's are committed. If a HG request is taken with 3 or 2 HG's, and one has to back out, that leaves an HG detail that will just not look good for the Order.
