My Brothers in Christ,
Greetings!
First, let me introduce myself. I served in the
United States Air Force and retired after 24 years. I was assigned at Travis Air Force Base for 21 years and held various leadership position in addition to my main duties as an aircraft maintainer. After retiring from the Air Force, I was employed with the California Department of Correctional and Rehabilitation as a Correctional Officer and retired after 20 years. I am currently serving as a volunteer with the Knights of Columbus as your District Warden, the Volunteer Honor Guard of Northern California at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery as a rifleman, the American Legion Post 165 in Vacaville, and the Filipino Cursillo in Christianity in Vallejo.
Next, I’d like to congratulate all of you and express my appreciation to you for volunteering to lead your council through this Colombian year 2024. I wish you the best as you undertake your mission.
Knights of Columbus Council 16255 will always have a special place in my heart. I am proud to be a Founder and have served as Chancellor, Deputy Grand Knight, and Grand Knight. I will always be there to assist you in anyway I can.
I’m looking forward to working with you in making your council the best.
Your Brother in Christ,
Jesse Palapas,
Warden, District 15
