From the Chaplain Soon the call will reach the Knights to follow through with another year of activities. Most of them, if not all, are directed to help others in need, whatever that need may be. We must never forget the life that supports meaningful activities and our personal conversations with our God, who is Love. Without an intimate relationship with the flow of love that is brought into the world by the Spirit, it becomes easy to be distracted by many things, including activities that remain at the surface of life and fail to be the sacramental manifestation of the presence of God's love we are called to be as disciples and Knights. Msgr. Maurice Comeault Grand Knights Report Hello to all of my Brother Knights! Here’s hoping everyone had a great summer, and are well rested and refreshed! We will be swapping fishing and adventure stories over munchies after our first General Meeting of the year next Tuesday, September 5 th . Come prepared with your tall tales! As Parish life kicks into high gear, so, too, does the work begin for our various Knights functions. As we all know, when Brother Knights work together at our various functions, we can achieve great things. There are many plans in the works for this coming year, and we are hoping that everyone works together to contribute towards a successful fraternal year On September 16 th , the Knights are providing breakfast to the CCRS group, here at OLPH, for which we are still in need of volunteers. That same morning is also the Hike for Life, being hosted this year by St. Anthony of Padua, 250 Burrin Ave., North Kildonan. A reminder to all Knights to keep the date of September 28 th open to either volunteer or attend (or both!) the Welcome Back Steak Night. This is a perfect opportunity to enjoy great food, good fellowship, and lots of laughs. See you there! Thank you to those Brother Knights who have stepped forward to serve on the Executive. Your commitment is greatly appreciated! Vivat Jesus Gerald Brunger, Grand Knight

FinancialSecretaryMessageIt’s good to get back in action after some welcome time of over the summer months. Our welcome back dinner is scheduled for Thursday September 28th. Tickets will be sold in the gather space starting Saturday September 11th. We hope to see many of you there. I invite all of you who are able to attend our next general meeting scheduled for Tuesday September 5th starting with mass at 7pm. At this meeting you will be asked to vote on 3 important documents. The 2017/18 budget, event calendar as well as updated council by-laws to be filed with Supreme council. If you receive this newsletter via email these 3 documents are attached so you can review them prior to being asked to vote. Printed copies will be available at the meeting for everyone in attendance. Printed copies of the minutes, Financial Secretary and Treasurer reports as well as program directors reports are made available for all in attendance at our council meetings. As your Council Activity Chair I continue to look for new volunteers from within the younger demographic of our membership to complement our regular volunteers. Knowing the demands on your time because of work as well as family, I am asking only for a little of your time. As an example if you can help at 2 or 3 events a year for 1 or 2 hours that would be a great start. It is a good opportunity to learn new skills while working for a worthy cause. During the month of September we have 2 fundraisers to start the Columbian year. On Saturday the 16th is the first of 2 CCRS breakfasts we provide for this year. That is followed by our welcome back dinner on Thursday September 28th. Both of these fund raisers benefit OLPH directly. Volunteer sheets will be emailed following our September meeting. If you have any questions regarding your membership, insurance, distress or volunteer opportunities please feel free to call me at 204-941-9320 or by emailing [email protected]. May God continue to bless you and your Family.
