Priests of the 4th Degree

Chelsea – Three recent additions to the Servants of Charity team of priests in Michigan have made a fast rise through the ranks of the Knights of Columbus organization. On Wednesday, April 19th, Fr. Amalorpavanathan Rayapillai, Fr. Franklin Michaelirudayanathan, and Fr. Leo Joseph Xavier all completed their “Journey to Knighthood” by joining the patriotic 4th Degree of the Knights at a special ceremony held for priests and religious in Portland, MI. Each priest was excited to join the Knights, and hope that one day they can bring this type of lay enthusiasm to their home country of India.
