This Program memorializes deceased 4th Degree Sir Knights of Assembly 2740 by presenting a chalice, with his name engraved on the Chalice base, to a bishop, priest, parish or mission. The Chalice is presented to the family at the Annual Memorial Mass.
Following the family's recommendations, the Chalice is then presented to the chosen recipient after the Mass Memorial. The deceased Knight is remembered by the Celebrant in every Mass in which the chalice is used.
The Program is funded with contributions from Knights and other sources. An annual assessment of Assembly members is made if needed.
The deceased Sir Knight must have been a practicing Catholic and in good standing as a 4th Degree Knight.
After the memorial service, the departed Sir Knight's name and appropriate dates will be engraved on the chalice base as in the following example: In Memory of SK John P. Sample 1939-2007.
The chalice may not be replaced with any other memorial; however other memorials may accompany it if desired.
The donated chalice is set on display near the head of the casket during the wake service.
Family members of the deceased Sir Knight may recommend the chalice placement to a bishop, priest, parish or mission of their choice. If the family needs assistance with the placement of the chalice, the Assembly may assist.
The placement of the chalice must be deemed appropriate by the Lt. General Timothy J. Maude Assembly #2740.
