Brothers,
As we begin a new fraternal year, we look forward to this New Beginning, a Restart, a chance to Refocus on the coming fraternal year. Margo and I are pleased to invite the State Officers, Directors, Committee Members, Diocesan Deputies, and District Deputies to attend the 2024 District Deputy Organizational Meeting, July 5-7, 2024, in Houston, Texas. Our theme throughout this year will be “Follow Me”. Congratulations to our Immediate Past State Deputy Mr. Terry Fruge for his leadership and dedication to our order and achieving back-to-back Circle of Honor. His team did an outstanding job!
For us to continue this success we will have to come together as a Team, "It Takes a Team" means that it takes more than one person to accomplish a goal, and a team is required for success. Each one of you is going to play an important role in our success.
We currently have over 117k members in the Texas State Council, and there are over 7 million Catholics in the state of Texas. When it comes to recruitment, we haven’t begun to scratch the surface. Texas has not had its Best Year yet.
Our 2024-2025 Circle of Honor Intake Goal is set at 5,300.
Pinnacle Intake Goal is set at (120% of Ultimate COH Intake Goal).
Our Star Council Goal is set at 163 Star Councils.
Our Faith Formation Goal is Three Holy Hours.
We can accomplish these goals, but it will take a Strong Start for us to be successful.
Our membership intake goal for the 1st Quarter (1,170) is as follows:
July – 292
August – 425
September - 453
This is how we will be successful:

- Finalize your activities and programs for the 2024-2025 fraternal year.
