The 112th Annual State Convention of the Texas Knights of Columbus was held on April 29 - May 1 at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi. Bishop Michael Mulvey, a brother Knight, provided a welcoming message and participated in many of the convention events.

The convention kicked off on Friday with a golf tournament at North Shore Country Club in Portland. Other events on Friday included a clergy seminar and the Welcoming Mass celebrated by Bishop Mulvey.

The main event of the weekend gathering was a banquet Saturday evening. Other events held earlier on Saturday included the state deputy’s report, a Ladies program, caucus meetings and a Memorial Mass. The convention wrapped up on Sunday with a Rosary.

“It has been an honor to represent all of you in our great State,” Texas Supreme Knight Terry Simonton said in a farewell note, as he presided over his last convention.  “We want to thank everyone for all their hard work and their dedication to the Knights. You have certainly made these past two years very special. We hope you have had as much fun as we have had.”

Ron and Margo Alonzo served as the convention chair couple.
