About the annual meeting

The Annual Meeting is the most important gathering of the North Central Lieutenancy. Over three days, members participate in the Lieutenancy Council meeting, attend formation sessions, and celebrate fellowship with Knights and Dames from across six states.

The centerpiece is the Investiture Mass — a solemn liturgy celebrated by the Lieutenancy Prior, during which new members are received into the Order, existing members are promoted, and meritorious service is recognized. It's a day of joy, gratitude, and renewal.
