He is expected to make a report at council meetings on religious matters.

Father Rob has agreed to continue as Chaplain and Bishop DiLorenzo is expected to again approve the appointment of our pastor Reverand Father Cole for this Fraternal Year. The Grand Knight is in charge and responsible for the operation, welfare and accomplishments of the council. He presides over council meetings, acts as an ex-officio member of all committees, appoints a membership and programming director, convenes officers for a monthly meeting, and ensures all necessary reports are submitted to the State and Supreme Council. He should also be aware of the council's financial status and ensure that his signature appears on all checks drawn. The Grand Knight then moves through the Trustee chairs.

2 Saint John the Apostle Officer/Director/man Slate Recorder Treasurer Financial Secretary Advocate Warden DESCRIPTION The Recorder is similar to a court reporter or a secretary. He is responsible for maintaining a true record of all actions of the council and its correspondence. A Recorder's Minute Book (#1403) is available from the Knights of Columbus Supply Department for keeping a record of council meetings. The Treasurer is responsible for the safekeeping and maintaining of records of all council funds and accounts. He is responsible for depositing money into the council accounts and provides a voucher or certificate of deposit of such monies to the Grand Knight. He is also responsible for payment of all expenses. The Financial Secretary is nominated by the Grand Knight and appointed by the Supreme Knight (the Chief Executive Officer and man of the Board of the Knights of Columbus), upon recommendation of the council. His main area of responsibilities is maintaining all financial and membership records. He collects and receives all moneys from all sources, including annual dues from council members. He also handles supply orders for the council officers and members, filing the Report of Officer (#185), and submitting all membership transactions to the Supreme Council. The Advocate is the parliamentarian of the council and serves as the council's attorney at trials and investigations of any interest to the council. While he does not need to be a member of the legal profession, he should be familiar with the council by-laws, the Order's Charter, Constitution and Laws (#30), Methods of Conducting a Council Meeting (#1937), and Robert's Rules of Order. When a by-law is to be revised, the Advocate serves as chairman of the revision committee. The Warden is the 'watchdog' for council property and degree paraphernalia, except the property of the Financial Secretary, Treasurer, and Recorder. He is also responsible for setting up the council chambers for meetings and ceremonial work. During ceremonial exemplifications, he will appoint and supervise the inside and outside guards.
