Members of the Knights, and their
families, participate in numerous
ministries of the parish on a regular
basis (Ushers, Lectors, Eucharistic
Ministers and members of various
standing committees). We have a
regular team of brother knights from
our council, who serve as altar
servers for all Funeral Masses .
On the First Sunday of every month
after all masses, our council together
with the CWL hosts a social Sunday in
our church Hall. All the parishioners
and their friends are encouraged to
come and have coffee, cake and
cookies in order to socialize
and get to know each other better.
Fund raising is achieved
through different fund raising events.
Bingo is held on the second Wednesday
of each month at 11:00am at Delta
Bingo Hall, 1650 Dundas Street West,
Mississauga (south side, east of Dixie
road). Again, the proceeds assist in
our allocations to the Parish and
Catholic charities.
Our Council has a commitment to
assist the cancer unit at Credit
Valley Hospital. In addition to
donations through our annual
allocations, a major fund raising
event, exclusively for the hospital,
is held every year. This is our annual
Chicken BBQ which is named in memory
of Past Grand Knight Sir Knight
William P. Riosa who succumbed to the
disease in 2001. Following the BBQ
dinner, a dance is held.
An annual tradition has been made
with our Lenten Fish & Chips
Night, held in the Evening during
Lent; this is a very popular event
provided at nominal cost for members,
their families, parishioners and
guests.
Anniversary of our Charter is
celebrated with a Dinner/Dance at
which our Knight of the Year is
recognized and presented with a plaque
and his good lady receives a bouquet
of flowers. The event takes place in
May, nearer to the date when our
council received its charter. The
event is open to all.
We also hold a Ladies Night
to recognize the important role of our
spouse�s play in our organization. The
cost to the member is minimal and
there is no charge for the ladies
attending. Dinner is catered,
beverages and music is provided.
Early in December, a family evening
is held at which a potluck dinner is
served followed by the arrival Santa
Claus who distributes gifts for the
children and grandchildren of members.
