Faithful Navigators Message

2016, 4th Degree, Faithful Navigator's Message, November

 

Sir Knights & Ladies:

Our new liturgical year will begin shortly with the season of Advent, a time we use to prepare us for Christmas.

We had a very good turnout for our Communion Breakfast. The meal was enjoyed by all. We even had some SK’s & Ladies from London. Also thanks to those Sir Knights that participated in the various ministries at Mass.

The November 2nd Memorial Service was well attended. The SK’s in Regalia complemented the service & gave a helping hand to those requiring.

Thanks to the Sir Knights that represented our Assembly on Nov 11th at the Remembrance Day Parade and the Cenotaph Ceremony.

Our November Meeting will be a meeting only.

I hope as many as possible come out to our annual Christmas Dinner which will be held on Friday December 9th. For tickets contact SK John Price. They are $ 20 for a Turkey Dinner with all the trimmings.

Also thanks to the SK’s that have agreed to host our upcoming Euchre Parties. We now have coverage through March.

When our Dinner Meals commence in January the cost will be $17.

Fraternally Yours

Message from your Chaplain

2016, Chaplain's Message, November

 

Dear Brother Knights,

We have just celebrated Thanksgiving and I hope all of you enjoyed the beautiful Day. We have so much for which to be thankful.

By the time that you receive this bulletin, we will be preparing for the three days of Hallowe’en, All Saints Day and All Souls day. November is the month when we commemorate the faithful departed.Over the last year, we have had a number of Knights pass away. .On November 2, we will have a memorial service at 7:00p.m. at Immaculate Conception Church. This is a time when we not only remember the deceased Knights but all the faithful departed from our cluster who died over the past year. It is also a way for us to support the families that are grieving the loss of their loved ones. I hope as many as possible will attend this service.

As Christians, we believe in the doctrine of the Resurrection.It is the central doctrine of our faith. Life for us is changed not ended.Belief in the Resurrection gives us hope and at a time of sadness, there can be joy because of our belief. In our wake service, we say the old order has passed away, welcome the person into paradise where there will be no sorrow, no weeping nor pain but the fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.Surely this gives us hope. I want to assure you of our prayers and support through your time of grief.

I want to thank all of you for what you do for our faith community and the wider community.May God bless you and your families.

Your Chaplain

Fr. Dick Bester

Grand Knight’s Message

2016, Grand Knight Message, November

Dear Brother Knights & Ladies:

The church celebrates All Saints Day Nov 1st & All Souls Day Nov 2nd.

On November 2nd there will be a Memorial Service in which Our Parish Cluster provides us a place and time to remember our loved ones that have gone to their eternal home, and use this as a time of comfort. The Service will be at Immaculate Conception Church 7p.m. I urge you to come out and support family & friends. This service encompasses The Knights of Columbus, The Catholic Women’s League from both Parishes and The Bereavement Ministry Committee.

In last month’s bulletin I mentioned that we were looking at making some changes for our council meetings. At the October Council Meeting it was agreed to start the meetings at 7 PM. The attendance prize will be discontinued and those funds will be used for Fraternal Activities following

During the Ontario State Convention held in April this year Resolution # 11 was passed. (Resolution # 11 to Increase Per Capita by $3.00). We have discussed this at our executive meetings and have resolved to increase our dues to $ 45.00 effective Jan 1, 2017. Any member having already paid

$ 42.00 for their 2017 dues or do so by December 31, 2016 will be issued a membership card for the 2017 calendar year.

Our Membership Committee is actively working on holding a 1st Degree. If you know of any potential men that should be approached notify Mike Mooney or myself.

Once again we will be selling Christmas Hams, summer-sausage & pepperettes. More to follow.

The Knight’s Christmas Turkey Dinner & Social will be held on Friday

Dec. 9th. Some Brothers have inquired about getting a Knight’s Polo Shirt. Dave Nickel will hold the cost if he gets an order for at least 6 shirts. If interested contact me.

Your Grand Knight

Request for Input and Help

2016, Donations, November

 

BROTHERS, at the October 3 Council meeting the membership agreed to make another pledge to the St Joseph’s restoration project. This pledge hinges on us being able to present to Council a plan for raising the money that we will pledge. I was then asked to formulate a plan. To that end, I am asking any Brother who might have any ideas on how we can raise money or wishes to sit on a committee  to contact Tony Vigar at 271-0797

Changes to Council Meetings

2016, Coming Events, November

 

Council meetings can sometimes be a bit slow and uneventful. The executive would like to speed things up and have more time for fellowship and socializing. To that end, the reading of the minutes has been cut out of the meeting. Minutes are now emailed to members and hard copies are available at the meeting. Aside from the ‘Lorentz luncheon special of the month’ there will be the ‘Lobsinger Event of the month’ at which big-time money prizes can be won. Prize money will be provided from the now eliminated ‘Attendance Prize’.

Also note the new starting time for Council Meetings 7:00 P.M.
