5th Ontario District
Worthy Faithful Navigators, Former District Masters, District Team Members and Sir Knights.
Worthy Brother Knights and Sir Knights
As we move into the last Quarter of my term, I wish we could have recruited more new members into the order and into the fourth. I receive emails almost weekly from an Assembly that has lost another Sir Knight. I can only imagine the losses that some of our Councils have endured. For every Sir Knight a Council has lost a member and there are that many more that were not fourth degree Knights. The Assemblies and the Councils are going into our last month of this fraternal year. Come July 1st we should not go to sleep for the summer continue to look for those Catholic men that have not been asked to join. The Sir Knights need to continue to look for 3rddegree Knights that have not joined the patriotic arm of the order. Even if your Council does not hold summer meetings your Church continues to hold Mass. Ontario State is about to start a year long celebration of 125 years of Knights in Ontario. We will be starting this celebration in Windsor on September 14th2024. This will begin with a rededication of the Pray for Peace monument a 3rddegree exemplification and dinner. This would be a great time to bring a new member into the order. With this special degree something that they will remember all their life. With the help of the State Office, we have designed a special certificate to commemorate the degree. We have tickets left for this event and we need to sell it out to show State and the Province that the London diocese knows how to throw a party. We are hoping that you will join the State Board, their Bishops, our Bishop Fabbro and our Deputy Supreme Knight Arthur Peters for this great evening.

Vivat Jesus!!
