Knights of Pythias of New Castle, Indiana

RATHBONE CELEBRATION - The annual Rathbone Celebration was staged in the beautiful Castle of Crescens Lodge #33 on Saturday, February 18th in celebration of the 142nd birthday of the Order Knights of Pythias!

It was truly a grand celebration as Pythians came from all over the Domain of Indiana and even three from the Domain of Ohio to add to a standing room only crowd to witness the three ranks of Knighthood conferred by an excellent ritualistic team.

Congratulations and thanks to all who made it happen by signing up new members and earning some of those great incentive prizes. As soon as we have our paper work in order, we will announce those winners on this website! Also, thanks to the ladies who prepared the wonderful meal that followed. Kitchen head cook Maridene Adams and the rest of the Sisters are to be commended! Where would we be without our Pythian Sisters?!? We would like to say WELCOME to the following NEW KNIGHTS!
