Grand Knight’s Christmas Message:
Dear Brother Knights,
As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, may His light guide us in our mission of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. May the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph inspire us to serve with faith and love, fostering a spirit of brotherhood in all we do. Let us rejoice in the gift of Christ’s peace and hope, and may this holy season renew our commitment to live as faithful stewards of His Church. On behalf of the Executive and myself, we wish you and your families abundant blessings and a joyous Christmas filled with His grace!
Thank you to all who assisted with our latest Perohy and Sausage Sale in November. These sales generate the income we use to support local community as well as supporting Humanitarian Aid for Ukraine. There will be no sale in December but we will resume in January. Special thank you to both Brs. Don Krochak and Ernie Bablak who do a lot above and beyond to ensure that materials and set up for the sale are in place! God Bless you and the others who make this major fundraiser a success!
Please be aware that our December meeting will not take place, but rather we will gather in prayer and celebrate Mass at Church of the Holy Resurrection with Father Bahrij on Thursday, December 12 at 6 p.m. Following Mass, we will have the opportunity for fellowship and a meal in the Church Hall. All are welcome to attend and please invite your spouses.
Our council purchased 4 boxes of coats from the Knights of Columbus Coats for Kids Program and I delivered them to St. John the Theologian Ukrainian Catholic Church. The church is sending another shipment of materials and goods to Kharkiv in early December. These winter coats will support youth as well as adults during the winter. This represents yet another Faith in Action initiative by our council.
We have received our council’s supply of tickets for the 40th Annual Bishop Crosby Charity Dinner Dance that will be held on Saturday, March 1, 2025. This will take place at Carmen’s Banquet & Convention Centre, 1520 Stone Church Road East on the Hamilton Mountain. The Guest Speaker is His Excellency Most Reverend Bishop Douglas Crosby. Note that the council will pay for the cost of ticket for Council 7464 Brother Knights that want to attend but Brothers will have to pay for their wife’s/guest’s ticket. Tickets are $90 per person. Please let me know your intentions to attend.
Brother Knights, another reminder to you to visit the Knights of Columbus website at https://www. kofc.org/en/for-members/resources/index.html where you are able to access resources and ma terials to help keep you up to date with what Supreme is doing. In addition, there are a number of webinars that are accessible online at https://www.kofc.org/en/for-members/fraternal-training.html which aim to provide more information to support councils with respect to effective council oper ation, membership recruitment and conducting charitable outreach programs that engage council members.

Birthday Greetings and Happy Wedding Anniversaries to those Brothers who are celebrating this month of December. We also pray for our Brothers and their family members who are ill and need our prayers. Brothers, let us continue to pray that the war in Ukraine will soon come to an end.
Merry Christmas! Christ is Born- Let Us Glorify Him!
Slava Ukraini – Heroiam Slava! Vivat Jesus!
