About 370 Knights of Peter Claver and Knights of Peter Claver Ladies Auxiliary members from across Texas gathered for their 95th annual state convention over the weekend, held this year in Beaumont. They spent time in prayer, remembered those who had died this past year, gathered information to help them in their ministry as Knights and Ladies Auxiliary, and celebrated being in community with each other. Father Reginald Samuels, pastor of St. Laurence Church in Sugarland and Vicar for Catholics of African Descent for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, celebrated the memorial Mass for deceased members on May 3. In his homily he said that Peter thought he was going to go about business as usual when Jesus said it was no longer business as usual. God is calling us to be better.
