The Installation of Officers Ceremony is a formal and solemn ceremony which holds deep importance for our council, as it formally introduces the new leadership team tasked with guiding Council 8157’s mission of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. These elected officers bring fresh perspectives and a dedicated plan to advance our service to Holy Spirit Catholic Church and our community. Their commitment ensures the continuation of our impactful programs, from supporting our parish to aiding those in need, strengthening our bond as Catholic men. Our presence at this event will demonstrate our support for these worthy brother knights.

For the ceremony, we request a specific dress code to honor the occasion. All officers are required to wear a suit and tie, reflecting the formality of their roles. For other members, the dress code is optional: you may wear a council shirt with long pants for a more casual yet respectful appearance, or choose a suit if preferred. This flexibility ensures everyone can participate comfortably while maintaining the event’s dignity.

The evening’s agenda also includes special highlights: the presentation of the Knight of the Year Award, honoring a member’s exemplary service, and the presentation of four Academic Scholarship Awards, recognizing outstanding students in our community. Your presence will make these moments even more meaningful.

Join us for this memorable occasion to support our new officers, celebrate our shared achievements, and strengthen our brotherhood. We look forward to seeing you at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on June 28!
