IMPORTANT : change in schedule

Regular Business meeting for  2023 will take place at our regular site (OLMC) at 6:30:00 pm .
You will be informed if a meal is being served, you must register beforehand if you want a meal.

 Please check with Grand Knight or Faithful Navigator before attending any future events which may be cancelled or rescheduled due to some reason.
Online meetings will be used to schedule time and how to sign in and participate.
  Instructions will be sent to you via email with instructions on how to sign on if applicaable.

Due to the difficulty caused by the restrictions of the Covid19 Virus, it has been quite difficult to conduct meetings with the membership.  We have tried to keep everyone up to date but this has not been a very successful arrangement.  The executive had placed e-mail notices wherever possible, including a message asking for members to show their interest in serving on this coming  year's executive.  Little interest was expressed, so when we had collected enough names for each position, we made an executive decision to acclaim those interested in serving on your new executive.  This is not the usual way things are done but, under the circumstances, we felt that this was the best way to carry on under the good of the order and continue to serve the assembly.  We hope you will agree with our decision, and hope and pray that we all will survive these trying days. Please consider we still need your help and guidance to continue with our goals and beliefs as Knights of Columbus.  Thanks to those Knights who did volunteer their services we hope to carry on to the best of our abilities.

Vivat Jesus.

This light jacket merges wind- and water-resisting performance with a silky-smooth hand. This unlined piece is easy to wear over base or thermal layers. The shell is 100% polyester and there is a cadet collar with a chin guard. The sleeves are set-in and there is elastic binding at the cuffs and hem. There are two open pockets in the front. It is available in several colours ( Red, Dark Blue, Black, Light Blue} with  the Emblem of the Fourth Degree Emblem on the left chest; your  assembly name and number will be embroidered around the Emblem. 

Optional individual name personalization is available at additional charge. 

Please allow 30 business days for your custom order to be produced.

Suggestions re Jackets:

1.     As these prices are not official and as we all know Supreme charges delivery plus an exchange rate that varies, we must be careful what we charge* and all orders must be paid in advance.

2.     There is a formal order form that must be used for each submission per member that comes from Supreme office.  (http://www.knightsgear.com/sport-tek-full-zip-personalized)  fill it out and give to comptroller

3.     Seeing as how this must be processed by Supreme, the executive have decided if you wish to purchase, we will have the Faithful Comptroller place the order so that the assembly will be charged for the order and the exact cost and any differences in amount + or – be charged/refunded to the member before handing over the jacket.

4.     As to the choice of jacket, if we order the unlined version, I recommend we order one size larger to enable us to wear a sweater under it spring and fall but it can still be wearable in the summer.

5.     If we choose the heavier version then we can’t wear it in mild weather, but we could consider T-shirts as an option.

 Please contact the FN with your thoughts on the subject. eg> should we standardize on colour?

Lets have your input by next meet which will be in March as our regular date is Shrove Tuesday in February, and the hall cannot be used,

THE ANNUAL ST. PATRICK’S PARADE AND PARTY SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 2024 has been cancelled again

Where have you seen this before?  

Do you know where it came from? 

This is a model of the memorial of Christopher Columbus, the original of which is located in Union Station, Washington D.C. and can be seen on the table of the Faithful Navigator at our business meetings.

It was donated by the Knights, approved by Congress, 
and dedicated on June 8,1919.

How did we come by it?
