5th Ontario District Master Paul Johnston

Worthy Faithful Navigators, Former District Masters, District Team Members and Sir Knights.    

Worthy Brother Knights and Sir Knights

Greetings Sir Knights and Ladies. 

Well, Sir Knights we successfully completed a combined Third degree Formation exemplification and Fourth Degree Exemplification on Saturday October 25th at St. Ursula's Parish in Chatham. We have two new Third degree members and 9 new Fourth Degree members and Ladies. Although these numbers are shy of our original expectations it was a great experience for the new members and their Ladies and families. A wonderful lunch was shared by members and families between the two ceremonies. There was a great showing of Colour Corp members to assist in executing the Fourth Degree Exemplification. I want to thank the 3rd degree team and my Fourth degree team for performing the Exemplifications for a top-notch experience for all. I would also like to thank the Sir Knights from Assembly 0867 for the great lunch and the brothers that assisted in setting up the church and hall. Special thanks to my wife Lady Cheryl for the hall preparation and table settings and for her support of all my activities.

Please continue to recruit and bring new members into our order and into the Fourth degree. The degree of Patriotism has never meant so much to us as we continue to define ourselves as Catholic Canadian Citizens.

I am proud to see more members in uniform attending Colour Corps activities.

Please let me know when you are having Assembly events/Activities or Honour Guard requests and I will try to attend and support them.

Vivat Jesus.

Fraternally & Patriotically,

SK. Paul Johnston – Master
