November 2018

Terry Bachmeier

I would like to recognize our PGK Terry as the Knight of the month award for a couple of very good reasons.

As most of you know I am away from the city for most of the months of June through October. While most of this time is ‘down time’ for our Council, Terry stayed the course to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities took place between the two of us.

Beyond this, I cannot say enough about the diligence, commitment capped by many phone calls and emails to the Ontario State and Supreme Offices to overturn their original position to not award us Star Council for the last Fraternal Year.

This is a Council Award that less than 20% of Councils receive, and I know Br. Terry felt strongly on behalf of all of us to ensure that the powers to be had a good, second look. With the help of our own PDD Mario, and with the support and intervention of our current DD Alan Sims, we received confirmation that Supreme overturned their decision and that we are a Star Council.


I saw the many emails, letters and constant follow up Terry put into this, and this is a testament of his deep conviction towards our Council, and the well being of our members.

It is with pleasure that I present our PGK Terry with the Knight of the Month Award for November.

Brother Murray Harris

Knight of the Month Award – October 2018
Presented to Brother Murray Harris

In the last year, Brother Murray has assumed the role of our lead in supporting our Parish Youth Dances which are held here the first Friday of the month from September through June.
Brother Murray has also assumed the responsibility of managing our parish breakfast this year. This provided some relief for our Treasurer Br. Jonathan, and Brother Murray’s organizational skills and ‘hands on’ approach to getting the job done is already evident after only 1 breakfast.
Brother Murray also played an active role in supporting our Parish Family Day in early September by attending all pre planning meetings and was the lead in the purchasing of the food which fed approx. 400 members of our Parish.
For his continued support of our Parish, and our Council I am very pleased to present Brother Murray with the Knight of the Month Award for October, 2018!
