Leaders of today. Leaders of tomorrow.
Celebrating
Veteran's Day 2016!
The Columbian Squires, Circle no. 5271, from the Saint Elizabeth Anne Seton Catholic Church Parish, Las Vegas, Nevada, participated in one of the biggest Veterans Day Parade on November 10, 2016 at downtown Las Vegas.
The event was attended by over 120 participating schools, JROTC units, Veteran Organizations, Private Groups, etc.
The event was high lighted by a fly over done by an F35 Lightning 2 - call sign: Sheik.
The Columbian Squires is designed to develop young men as leaders who understand their Catholic religion, who have a strong commitment to the Church and who are ready, willing and capable of patterning their lives after the Youth Christ.
Circle no. 5271 enhances a practicing Catholic young man's opportunities in life, by providing leadership skills and training, with character building that includes the moral and ethical guidance needed to succeed.
Squires have fun. They meet new friends; they travel, play sports and socialize. Squires are serious-minded, too. Squires are involved in promoting vocations, marching in defense of unborn life, feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, supporting Special Olympics and promoting Catholic education, among countless other activities. Thus, the Squires circle is an athletic team, a youth group, a social club, a cultural and civic improvement association, a management training course, a civil rights organization and a spiritual development program all rolled into one.
A Squires circle must be sponsored by a council or assembly, but is run by and for young men, under the guidance of several Knights, who serve as counselors. Squires are to be leaders, thus, to the degree they are able, they are given the opportunity to lead, by running their own meetings, investing their own members, setting their circle's agenda and implementing their program of activities.
