The Grand Master of the Order of Malta Fra’ John Dunlap attended the 142nd Supreme Convention of the Knights of Columbus, held August 6-8 in Québec City, Canada.

The Knights of Columbus welcomed more than 2,500 Knights and their families, members of the Catholic hierarchy and special guests from 10 countries at the Supreme Knight’s Award Session. The awards session annually recognizes individual Knights, councils, assemblies and jurisdictions throughout the world who have faithfully carried out the mission of the Order’s Founder, Blessed Michael McGivney.

In his speech presenting the annual report, Supreme Knight Patrick E. Kelly thanked the Grand Master of the Order of Malta Fra’ John Dunlap for his presence: “Since day one, the Order has rallied to support the people of Ukraine and we’re continuing to expand our partnerships. With Protez, we are providing prosthetics for the victims of war, and with the Order of Malta, we’re training civilians in life-saving first aid. I want to recognize and thank Fra’ John Dunlap, the Grand Master of the Order of Malta, who truly honors us with his presence today”.
