Introduction: Your pastor is the ultimate multi-tasker. He is administrator, confidant, social-worker, psychologist, teacher, and most importantly shepherd. His role as chaplain is significant in so far as it strengthens the character of the council and its members and provides a spiritual focus for its many activities. His guidance needs to be taken seriously, and there needs to be an excellent relationship between the chaplain and the Grand Knight.
