The St Mary of the People parish hall was plenty full as the Knights of Columbus Council 8611 celebrated St Valentine’s Day… a week late. Judging by how well attended the evening was, perhaps we should have it a week late every year? With delicious food and live music a fantastic time was had. Special…
In the midst of this deep freeze there’s nothing like some basketball to make you think of Spring! This past week the St Mary of the People Knights of Columbus council was getting involved at St Christopher Catholic School for our annual basketball free throw competition. We want to thank all of those students who…
Merry Christmas everyone! While the council still has one more general meeting to go before the year comes to an end, it was fantastic to see so many members out for a lovely evening – especially considering the wild weather we had. A special thanks to or District Deputy Ken Cavanagh and his wife Laurette…
The snow is already here so is it any surprise that Santa made an early trip to St Mary of the People Parish? Everyone was in a festive mood for the annual Seniors Christmas Party, held this past week on Thursday, December 4th. There was caroling, cookies and plenty of cheer. And of course a…
Advent isn’t far off! With that said, the time has come at St Mary of the People to put up the Christmas Creche. And who else would you call on, but your local Knights of Columbus council! It was a touch chilly (around zero) for the 15th of November, but that didn’t stop a small…
As the first snow hits today, October seems like a distant memory. Do you remember all the fun you had at our Oktoberfest party this year? Supported by numerous other councils in the area, the Knights of St Mary of the People once again held a festive dinner and dance. Special thanks goes out to…
Always a fantastic time and a fantastic event, dare I say the weather was also… fantastic! (It really was). And so it’s no surprise that the 38th annual St Mary of the People Knights of Columbus Golf Tournament was a huge success. Apart from our bingo volunteering, this is the council’s single largest fundraiser so…
It’s been a few years since St Mary of the People Knights of Columbus Council 8611 did held a pasta night. And what a wonderful success it was! With food cooked by our own brother Knights and their wives it was a delicious celebration of the Italian heritage that’s so strong in the St Mary’s…
Note to self: put out more chairs next year. And with that reminder, it goes without saying that the annual St Mary of the People Parish Pancake Breakfast (co-hosted by the Knights of Columbus and CWL) was a resounding success. With a healthy contingent after the 9 o’clock mass, the parish hall was absolutely rammed…
Better late than never… and it almost didn’t happen at all. This year’s annual St Valentine’s Dinner and Dance took place just the day after the 14th. And nothing could stop the festivities… even though Mother Nature certainly tried. Thank you to all the councils who participated in this event and to the many volunteers…
