Dear Mentees/Devotees, As the year draws to a close, it brings an opportunity to reflect on milestones and celebrate achievements. I am proud to share two incredible honors that I have been privileged to receive. In October 2017, I was deeply humbled to be appointed as a Serving Brother of the esteemed Order of St. John by Her Majesty The Queen. This special recognition, presented at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC, marked a significant moment in my life – a testament to the importance of service and giving back. Fast forward to this month (December 2024), I am truly honored to now be a Cavaliere of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus (Order of Savoy). This distinguished investiture ceremony took place at the iconic St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. To be welcomed into the ranks of this historic Order as a knight is both humbling and inspiring. As the holiday season approaches, I extend my best wishes to you and your families. Let us use this time to reflect and prepare for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Happy Holidays! And may God Bless each and every one of you! Warm Regards, Sir Daniel S Peña Sr. Cavaliere of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus |
