Grand Knight’s Message

Dear Brother Knights & Ladies:

I trust that you have made good use of the Lenten material and readings that help us prepare for the churches greatest feast, Easter. Many of us has likely slipped in our penitential practices, but don’t let that be a reason to give up. There is still plenty of opportunity as we approach the middle of the Lenten Season.

We have a new Field Agent, Fraternal Advisor Dev S. Bhagwat. Dev resides in Waterloo. He can be reached at dev.bhagwat@kofc.org or 519 888 0869. Our council has been added to his territory. Jay Nelligan has been re-assigned.

Br. & SK Tony Vigar has decided to reduce his work load. He has submitted his resignation as Financial Secretary effective June 30, 2017. He has held this position since 2005. Tony will still be very active within our council.

The Basketball Competition was completed with the Regionals in London on March 4th. You may recall that last year Gustin Soriano from St Joseph’s School was the declared the Provincial 10 year old boy’s champion. Well he won the Regional 11 year old boys this year.

Our next Boston Pizza Night will be Wed. May 10th with proceeds going to Sick Kids Foundation.

To aid in our commitment to the Fr. O’Rourke Window two more Fundraisers are under way;

A Food Booth at The Canada Day Celebrations July 1st and A Walk a Thon on Sunday Sept. 17th.

More information will follow.

Finally, I want to acknowledge the Brothers that made our Shrove Tuesday a success and all who provided Pallbearer Service requested by Young’s Funeral Home.

Your Grand Knight

John J. Price

Faithful Navigators Message

Sir Knights & Ladies:

As we approach the mid-point of the Lenten season let us remember the suffering Christ did for our sins, dying & then rising from the dead. The Stations of the Cross is a devotion that helps us in our daily lives.

Our Spring Communion Brunch will be held on Sunday April 2, 2017. Mass 10 AM at Immaculate Conception Church, Brunch at The Queens Inn 11:45 AM cost $18.00 includes gratuity. Thanks to Dave Franks for arranging this event.

Our next Dinner Meeting will take place on Monday April 24, 2017. We will have a meeting only on Monday March 27, 2017 starting at 7 PM.

Our next Euchre party will be held on April 21, 2017; John Price & Howard Culligan will be the hosts. Hosts are required for the May 12, 2017 Euchre. There was some discussion about increasing the prize money given out, but it was agreed to wait until the fall.

We have been approved and now have a schedule to run Bingo’s. Proceeds from Bingo will go to support the church. Our first bingo is scheduled for April 23, 2017 (Sunday Matinee).
