Council March 2018 Update – Knights of Columbus

Dear Brother Knights,

March 2018 Update

This month’s Grand Knight’s message:

The month of March is dedicated to St. Joseph and falls during the season of Lent represented by the liturgical color purple; a symbol of penance, mortification and the sorrow of a contrite heart. The feast days of the most solemn and Holy Week commence Mar. 25 with Palm Sunday followed by the Sacred Triduum of Holy Thursday (Mar. 29), Good Friday (Mar. 30) and Holy Saturday (Mar. 31). Easter Sunday (April 1) commences with the celebration of the Resurrection and continues throughout the month.

General Note Regarding Outstanding Knights Membership Dues:

If you owe $45 for your 2018 Annual Knights member dues, please contact Reid Robertson as soon as possible to make arrangements. [email protected] 905-509-3177. Thanks
