Cuban icon makes waves

October 13, 2007 — This year's widely popular Marian devotion program features an icon of Our Lady of Charity, the patroness of Cuba.

The religious image is making its way to each of the councils throughout the Order during the next several months. Most councils will see it at least once before the 2008 state conventions.

If you missed this event in your area, you may wish to hold your own private Marian devotion program by viewing or printing out the prayer book, icon, and holy card.

Lifelong Knight leads 2007 Columbus Day Parade

Robert J. LaneOctober 8, 2007 — Robert J. Lane, who recently retired from his position as the supreme secretary of the Knights of Columbus, served as grand marshall of the 2007 Greater New Haven Columbus Day Parade. More than 200 Knights from Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York marched in yesterday's Sunday-morning event.

Lane was born and raised in New Haven, Conn., and is a member of San Salvador Council 1. He began his lifelong association with the Knights of Columbus headquarters office, in 1954, as a part-time summer clerk in the accounting department. Later, he served as assistant supreme secretary for 18 years, as an executive vice president for 3 years, and then as supreme secretary for 2 years. He stepped down this past weekend upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 70.

He and his wife, Leanore, who make their home in North Branford, Conn., have four children and eight grandchildren. In 2000, Lane was made a Knight of St. Gregory by Archbishop Daniel A. Cronin.
