Cardinal Medeiros Fund

The Cardinal Medeiros Trust fund was created in 1981 as part of State Council Charities, named in honor of former Bishop of the Brownsville Diocese who served as State Chaplain of the Texas State Council from 1969 to 1970. The interest earned from the trust provides the funds for the State Council Charities Educational Grants Program. As the corpus increases, State Council Charities will be able to increase the number of grants presented each year.

The Cardinal Medeiros Fellow program was started in 1998 to promote contributions to the Cardinal Medeiros Trust fund by recognizing the honoring individuals with a plaque and pin as Cardinal Medeiros Fellows. A Cardinal Medeiros Fellow Honor Roll is maintained and is on display at the State Office and at the State Convention.

The objective is that every Knight will consider participating with the ultimate goal of becoming a Cardinal Medeiros Fellow. This honor is not just for the higher ranking individuals or clergy; everyone can participate including spouses and other family members. It is a great tribute to a long lasting marriage or other special occasions! It truly is the gift that keeps on giving. This can also be used to recognize a deceased Brother Knight or a Brother Knight’s family member.
