History
The POPE JOHN XXIII ASSEMBLY is an organization of people. Our History is dedicated to all who cared enough about the Patriotic Degree of our Honored Order to become a member of our Pope John XXIII Assembly. Each of these Sir Knights, while a member, contributed to the success of our Assembly.
Those who only paid dues.
Those who served as an Assembly Officer.
Those who supported Assembly fund raisers.
Those who attended meetings and Assembly functions.
Those who served as a Committee member or Chairman.
Those who served as the Fourth Degree Chairman of their Council.
Those Sir Knights, who found the time to serve in the Color Corps.
Our history is also dedicated to the families of these Catholic gentlemen, especially their wives who supported and encouraged them.
