As we prepared for our party night on our Knock pilgrimage we got the phone call delivering the sad news that our friend and one of our founder members and past Officer-in-Charge Michael Brady had died while on holiday in Spain.
As a Drimnagh man Michael came from a large family on Mourne Road and had a large family of his own. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Brady Family.
May he Rest in Peace
Michael wore the eight pointed cross of the Order with pride. He lived his life as the symbols of the four arms of the cross and thought me and others to do the same.
The eight-pointed cross is the Orders religious symbol, worn by all Knights, Dames, Ambulance Corps members and Cadets. besides being the general symbol of the crusifion, it is white to represent purity. the four arms of the cross symbolise the four cardinal virtues.
Prudence - Good judgement
Justice - Fairness
Temperance - Moderation in all things
Fortitude - Courage to stand up for what is right
