Richard Salbato is a Knight

THREE SANTA CLARA VALLEY RESIDENTS WERE KNIGHTED in early July in Fatima, Portugal in a private ceremony held at the house of the Royal Brotherhood of the Wing of Saint Michael. The Brotherhood of Saint Michael is a Catholic association if the form of a dynastic order of the royal house of Portugal. The order was created in 1165 and was officially recognized by the Church in 1171. Inactive for almost a century, the order was restored in the form of a royal brotherhood by the current Duke of Braganca, who is a direct descendant of the first king of Portugal. Philip Kronzer of Los Gatos, Richard Salbato of San Jose, and Father Gilbert Mariani, formerly of Cupertino now of Fatima, were knighted for their work promoting the messages of Our Lady of Fatima and their defense of the Catholic faith.
