Our Council has also won the Ontario Trillium Award in all but one of its years as a Council. We have also won Best Council Award, and various other awards too numerous to mention here.
In addition to the Council Awards from Supreme and State, there are individual awards for Brother Knights who have warranted special attention due to their exemplary actions during the year. In addition to the "Knight of the Year Award", the Grand Knight has seen fit to recognize the following for their contribution in making this year a successful one
Awards 2009~2010
Appreciation
Awards 2009-2010:
WE SUPPORT OUR PRIESTS AND SEMINARIANS: Jesus Manuel de la Rosa Perez, was ordained a priest on May 31, 2003 in the Dominican Republic. We wish him well in his new parish. Our newest ordained priest is Kelly Boyden ordained last year, now serving with the Canadian Armed Forces.
DIVINE INFANT PARISH recently honoured at their twenty fifth anniversary ten "pioneers" that were responsible in large part for the creation of the parish.

Acceptance of the applicant depends upon a vote of the members of the subordinate Council in which he is making application.
All priests and religious Brothers having duly made application for membership and participated in the ceremonials become "honorary life members" of the Order and are exempt from payment of dues.
Application for membership must be made through the Council in the community nearest the applicant's place of residence. Interested prospects without a permanent domicile, such as men temporarily away from home through duty in the armed forces, may make application through their hometown Council or at the nearest Council on a military base.
If favourably voted upon, the applicant becomes a member by initiation known as the First Degree. He subsequently is advanced through the Second Degree and the Third Degree.
There are modest initiation fees and dues set by subordinate councils under regulations established by the Supreme Council. Divine Infant Council annual dues are currently set at $30.00 for regular members. Insurance privileges are available to all members who can qualify, which represents an important advantage of membership. For men in every walk of life the name Knights of Columbus engenders the image of a united organization, efficiently going about it tasks of charity, unity, fraternity, patriotism and defense of the priesthood. It is composed of men who are giving unselfishly of their time and talents in service of God and their country.
Membership in the Knights of Columbus provides opportunity for wholesome association with congenial companions who are, first of all, practical Catholic gentlemen. It offers the opportunity for fellowship with those who are of the same belief, who recognize the same duty to God, to family and to neighbour and who stand side by side in defence of those beliefs. Programs are so organized as to appeal to the individual interest of the members. Through many constructive activities of Christian fraternity, members are enabled to render service to their Church, their country and their fellowman. Through membership they develop a consciousness of their ability to lead and to assist.
Organized Columbianism, united behind the individual Knight of Columbus, provides the power of an intelligent, alert body of Catholic men--a strength which the individual by himself cannot achieve.
Knights of Columbus has a proud heritage. The qualified Catholic man can share in that heritage and build an even greater future by affiliating himself with this forceful, effective body.
The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism by promoting responsible citizenship and a love of and loyalty to the Knights' respective countries through active membership in local Fourth Degree groups called assemblies. Fourth Degree members must retain their membership as Third Degree members in the local Council to remain in good standing.
Certain members of the Fourth Degree serve as Honour Guards at civic and religious functions, an activity which has brought worldwide recognition to the Knights of Columbus organization. The Assembly associated with Divine Infant Council 7873 among other Councils within District 66, is Bishop John Beahen Assembly 2230.

Father Michael J. McGivney
God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and orphan, You called Your priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor. Through the example of his life and virtue may we follow Your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling His commandment of charity and building up His Body which is the Church. Let the inspiration of Your servant prompt us to greater confidence in Your love, so that we may continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that You glorify Your servant, Father Michael J. McGivney on earth, according to the design of Your holy will. Through his intercession, grant the favor I now present (here make your request). Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary ,Glory be to the Father.
