A Note from the Faithful Navigator of Admiral Benson Assembly...

Welcome to the Admiral William S. Benson Assembly website!  Our Assembly is located in historic Anne Arundel County, the site of the State capital of Maryland, Annapolis, and the U.S. Naval Academy. Our namesake, Admiral William S. Benson, was the First Chief of Naval Operations for the United States Navy.  We are proud of this fine Catholic Naval officer and gentleman and his role in U.S. Naval history.

This year the Assembly will be focusing its efforts on: (1) recruiting new members, as well as (2) attempting to recruit members for our color corps from within the current membership. If you are not a 4th degree member of the Knights of Columbus, please consider joining this wonderful order of Patriotic men. If you are already a member of Admiral Benson Assembly, I humbly request that you consider joining our color corps.  Considering our strategic location near historic Annapolis, we should have one of the best color corps teams in Maryland!  The more Sir Knights that join, the less work for those brothers currently participating in this activity. If you are now participating in the Benson Assembly Color Corps, I thank you for all your efforts and earnestly hope you will continue on.

We are always in need of workers for our Bingo nights in Annapolis. This is the sole fundraiser for our Assembly. Again, we are hoping to see fresh faces who will help us to carry the load. Currently, we run Bingo at Annapolis Council every fifth Friday, and a several times during the council's carnival season. Please check the schedule below for upcoming dates. Thanks for your consideration!  If you can assist, please call or email Color Corps Commander Rich Walz at 410-987-7047 or rwkc@starpower.net.

As members of the 4th degree, we will always attempt to let fellow citizens know that the Catholic Church, and the order of the Knights of Columbus always play a key role in attempting to further both the spiritual life, and the moral ideals of American society. And, by representing both our Nation, and our Faith proudly, we will discourage those heathens who wish to keep us hidden away and silent, and to encourage others to join us in fighting the Culture of Death.

Thanks and May God Bless You!

Charles R. Fink, Faithful Navigator, PGK [8251]
