WEEKLY NEWS FOR KNIGHTS AROUND THE WORLD
VOLUME 44 • NUMBER 17 • April 30, 2026
As many areas across Hawaii were devastated by floods last month, local Knights stepped up to support their communities by delivering resources and providing hope. As leaders in faith-inspired service, Knights are often among the first to respond when disaster strikes. They also bear witness to the Catholic faith in the public square through prayer initiatives and by supporting conferences and other events. This year, councils around the world participated in processions to honor St. Joseph, whose feasts are celebrated March 19 and May 1.
A Refuge in the Storm
After a series of devastating floods caused widespread damage across Hawaii last month, local Knights and the Hawaii State Council mobilized to distribute thousands of dollars through the Order’s Disaster Relief Fund and to provide food and shelter assistance to families in need. “It’s times like these where we often ask, ‘Where was God?’” said Joshua Kapika, past grand knight of St. Michael the Archangel Council 16741 in Waialua. “The answer is very simple; it’s in me. It’s in my brother Knights.”
