Dear Brothers and Families of District 18

"Happy New Year" my Friends!  I am honored to assume the position of District Deputy for the finest District in Virginia.  This fact, along with the support & encouragement from my predessor Brother Jim Green as well as from "my better half" Margie, made my decision relatively EASY.  Best of all, my Brother Grand Knights and their wonderful Officers have already made the transition enjoyable & rewarding.

MY PLEDGE TO YOU IS TO SUPPORT THE ENTHUSIASM THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS AMONG THE 5 COUNCILS WHICH MAKES UP DISTRICT 18. 

Please always keep in mind "why we do what we do" - AD GLORIAM DEI - "FOR THE GLORY OF GOD" - WHAT A MOTIVATING THOUGHT!  GO FORTH AND DO WHAT WE DO BEST - Practice CHARITY, UNITY, FRATERNITY AND PATRIOTISM!

Sincerely,

Jay McCarthy

District Deputy 18



Together Everyone Accomplished More!
Dear Brothers and Families of District 18,

It all began where it was completed with the installation of Our Lady of Hope Council # 12791. Thanks to all of you it was a great two years. The District grew to over 1300 Knights and their familes. Through VKCCI & KOVAR, Charity also grew to an all time high in the District.

Again, Thanks to all of you for your hard work and all that you do everyday. Your most gracious hospitality to us was overwhelming and most appreciated. This is a two years we will never forget.

Keep up the great work. Stop by in Williamsburg when you are in the area. The door is always open, with a little notice.

Vivat Jesus,

Jim & Regina
Former District Deputy District 18
