Grand Knights Report For March 2025
Brother Knights,
As we enter the season of Lent, we are reminded of the importance of prayer, sacrifice, and service in our daily lives. This is a time for reflection, renewal, and recommitment to our faith and the principles of the Knights of Columbus: Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. During this Lenten season, I encourage each of you to take time for prayer and personal reflection. Whether through acts of kindness, service to those in need, or strengthening our relationships with family and community, let us walk this journey together in faith. March also brings opportunities for us to serve. Our council continues to support parish initiatives, charitable works, and community outreach. I want to thank all of you who have dedicated your time and efforts to our recent projects. Your commitment exemplifies what it means to be a Knight.
Looking ahead, we have several upcoming events, including our next perogy and sausage sale on Thursday, March 27, 2025. Similar to last month, we will be preparing in the morning and then getting items ready for sale in the pm from 3:00-5:30 p.m. We need your assistance in the kitchen and during the sale, so if you can assist, please let me know. Our sale will take place at Church of the Resurrection Ukrainian Catholic Church on Upper Wentworth.
I invite all of you to participate and bring a friend or fellow parishioner who may be interested in joining our brotherhood. A reminder that our next meeting will be held on March 18 at 7 p.m. as I will be away during the March Break and not available on Tuesday, March 11 at 7 p.m. Please note this change in date.
I had the distinct honour of attending the Prayer Service and Banquet on Saturday, February 22 at St. Joseph Ukrainian Catholic Church in Oakville with His Beatitude Patriarch Sviatoslav Shevchuk along with Members of the Permanent Synod of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church. Thank you to Brothers John Hucal, Isidore Nebesny, Yuri Zilonov, and Bob Tymczyszyn who also attended this historic and moving event. His message was one of Christian Hope and resilience. He said, “Ukraine stands! Ukraine fights! Ukraine prays! Ukraine is a nation that believes in resurrection!” I did make a presentation on behalf of our council in the amount of $500 to support His Beatitude Patriarch Sviatoslav and his ongoing work.
Brothers, I have distributed cheques in the amount of $500 to all our Ukrainian parish priests to assist with their ongoing projects and expenses. I am extremely proud that our council provides this support to our parishes on an annual basis.
Thank you to all who will be attending the Bishop Crosby Charity Dinner on March 1, 2025 at Carmen’s Banquet Centre. A special thank you to Brother Ernie Bablak for his tireless work serving on this committee for decades!
Let us continue to be men of faith and action, living out our mission and making a difference in the lives of those around us. May this Lenten season bring you and your families closer to Christ.
Birthday Greetings and Happy Wedding Anniversaries to those brothers who are celebrating this month of March. We also pray for our brothers and their family members who are ill and need our prayers. Brothers, let us pray that the war in Ukraine will soon come to an end.
