With thoughts and reflections from the year 2020, change significantly affected each one of us. An unimagined factor, the COVID-19 pandemic, added another challenging layer of demands for the North Carolina Council Order of the Knights of Pythagoras (NCKOP). With unwavering dedication to serving others, each of you continued to persevere with excellence to meet those challenges.

As we move forward into a new year, I wish to express my thankfulness to you for who you are, for all that you do, and please know that I am forever grateful that you are a special part of our NCKOP family. I feel infinitely honored to work alongside the exceptional and remarkable group of Brothers and Youth Leaders from our program who continue to “make a difference” in the lives of our youth and within the many communities across our great jurisdiction.

This past year, the Lord faithfully provided each of us manifold blessings and benefits. Let us be thankful and continue our mission of providing an excellent mentoring program called NCKOP.

I wish you, your family, your loved ones, and friends a blessed and happy new year!

Robert Hassell, Grand Knight Director
