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…
As the saying goes: what goes up, must come down. The Knights of St Mary’s (along with some parish volunteers) made short work of disassembling the Christmas Creche. In fact, it might have been yet another record time… not taking much more than 30 to 45 minutes. That of course left more time for cookies…
The St Mary’s Knights of Columbus Council 8611 loves to get together and celebrate. And celebrate they did, this past week with their annual Christmas dinner. While a few key members were notably out of commission, those who did make it toasted their good health. Special thanks to the many volunteers who made this evening…
Many hands make light work and the St Mary’s Knights of Columbus had plenty of helping hands for the annual Christmas Crèche setup. In fact, it might have been one of our largest turnouts in recent years. As well, it was a first time participating in a Knights event for Denish Paskaran, who joined our…
With the days of October slipping by, we just squeezed in our annual Oktoberfest dinner and dance. And in so doing we kicked off a new season of activities for the St Mary of the People Knights of Columbus! Special thanks to clergy in attendance including Fr Marijan Sisko of St Gregory the Great and…
The summer is always an excellent time for fun and relaxation. But not for all our council members. Many of them toiled for untold hours in the sun, weekend after weekend in a frustrating pursuit. Or as some like to call it: playing golf! The fearsome foursome of Paul, Roy, Steve and Don hit the…
If any of our brother Knights were praying for the rain to pass us by, their prayers were certainly answered. The 37th annual St Mary’s Knights of Columbus Golf Tournament kicked off bright and early Saturday, June 22nd despite a torrential downpour just an hour before. With almost exactly 72 golfers taking to the links…
