HOLY NAME OF JESUS COUNCIL 11886
Volume 20 Issue 1
Kingston Mills
September 2016
20th ANNIVERSARY OF THE COUNCIL CHARTER
The council received its Charter on 6 November 1996 and since that time has been an essential pillar in maintaining Holy Name of Jesus Parish. In recent years the council from Holy Family Chapel CFB Kingston
amalgamated with Holy Name Council. It’s members complete a similar role in providing support direct to the
Base Chapel priests and parish community. During this year there will no doubt be much fanfare regarding
the history and accomplishments of the council and its Base Chapel round table. It is fitting that to begin this
20th year celebration the council was selected for the STAR COUNCIL award due in part to the recruiting
efforts of our current Grand Knight George “Scotty” Smith. The final touches are being confirmed regarding
the Anniversary Banquet which will be held Saturday evening 5 November 2016 at Rideau Acres. All current
council members and their guests will be welcome as well as former council Knights who helped contribute to
the 20 years of accomplishments. There will be more information being announced shortly regarding tickets
and final pricing. Please refer to our website for details or for those with no internet, come out to the October
meeting or call another Knight for details.
KNIGHTS STATE LOTTERY
You will recall from the June edition the wonderful support the Council received from Dave Bennett and the
employees at Valu-Mart in allowing us to set up for a weekend sales blitz by Brother Mike Stenson and his
grand-daughter Marissa and several other Knights. Peter Splinter, Roger Levac and Pat Stenson also
contributed greatly to the sales effort through their own efforts. In the end the following people won prizes by
participating in the State Lottery. Mrs B Dunlop, Donna Grasspoole, Pat Stenson, and Suzanne Long. Hopefully they have all been contacted by now and have their prizes. That marks the end of our council’s participation in the State Lottery as it has been shown that our valuable volunteer efforts can have greater effect in
support of local activities.
RAISE THE ROOF - EVENTS
SK Guy Lahaie, SK Jean Pellerin (jr) and many other volunteers from the Knights, the CWL and the Parish,

majority is being allocated to the Holy Name of Jesus Roof project.

YEAR END BBQ
Our 19th year ended with a summer BBQ on the parish grounds. Great weather, good friends and excellent
food were all coordinated as our tradition by the Past Grand Knight, Jean J Pellerin. Among the various
activities Carol Pellerin (Jean Senior) had the correct guess for the Jelly Bean Count. While Jean was overjoyed with the Habs cup and the Jelly Beans Carol safely secured the real prize winnings. Our newest Knight
Brother Robert Charet (this was the final
Knight needed to secure the Star Council
award) was also recognized
Robert had been recently awarded a City of
Kingston certificate of recognition for his six
years of dedication to the continuous clean up
of Highway 15.
That would be considered worthy recognition
for any citizen; yet, Brother Robert persevered
in this devotion with the physical aid of a
walker, crutches and plenty of determination.
We welcome Robert to the council and our
Highway clean up crew even if the rest of us
only do it twice a year/
GRAND KNIGHT MESSAGE
Brothers, I hope you spent quality time with family and friends and enjoyed your Summer
Break to the fullest. The weather certainly was agreeable and made travelling so much more
pleasant. Time spent in the fashion is always very rewarding. Chris and I will do our travelling at the end of September, when we will go down to Halifax to visit her brother, Brother
Hudson MacIsaac, who is a Knight from Judique, Cape Breton. We will also get the opportunity to visit with her other brother, Charlie MacIsaac, who help us here a couple of years
ago with a Council Highway Cleanup, when he was visiting us here in Kingston. It is time once again to get
back to performing our Knights of Columbus commitments for another year. The theme will be the same.
Grow our Council Membership. Doing that will bring in more money and that will allow our Council to increase our charitable donations.
We will face many challenges in the coming year, demanding more participation from our Council Brothers.
Take time for some soul searching and tally up the times you have been physically involved with your Brothers in Council Activities, not just attending Monthly Council Meetings. We have been calling for quite a period of time now, for someone to take over as Editor of Knight Moves, our very informative Newsletter, which
not only keeps us up to date with Council News, but gives our very generous sponsors the exposure we promised them. SK Peter Scott, our current Editor, needs a rest and he will only be too glad to give you the tools
you required, to carry on this very important Council Function. Please see Peter.
Some of our Brothers are already heavily involved in Council activities and commitments. Please their workload by becoming an active Member of Council 11886. Get involved.
Your Grand Knight Scotty

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS PLAY A BIG ROLE IN
FIRST COMMUNION AND CONFIRMATION
The Holy Rosary has been a treasured devotion in the Catholic Church for centuries. As you know, when
praying the Rosary, Catholics recall the most important events in the lives of Jesus and his Blessed Mother
Mary. And of course you know these events are called, ”Mysteries”.
The Knights of Columbus always give material and moral support to the Church and her works at all levels,
promoting the programs of the Parish and Diocese. This year has been no different in that we feel a responsibility to support those children taking First Communion and Confirmation. On May 8th for two masses,
1:30pm and 3;30 pm; our Council 11886 presented rosaries, pearl for girls ,traditional black to the boys, to 46
children from St. Martha and Holy Name Schools . Our Holy Name of Jesus, Catholic Womens League Members, Jean Richards and Roseanne Hogan assisted by passing out very special prayer cards to each child.
The families turn out for these functions in large numbers I can tell you!....and rightfully so. When parents pay
attention to the task of loving and nurturing their children as a child of God; they build up the Church.
I know the Rosary has had a lasting effect on us Knights of Columbus because it is present in many of our activities; lets hope it does the same for those children.
Fraternally, Brother Gary Richards
(editorial note: Brother Gary submitted this for the June edition but I forgot to insert it. These are still worthy
comment even if I published them a bit late)
