~ 1 ~ 2400 Industrial Street, Burlington, Ontario L7P 1A5 POPE JOHN PAUL II ASSEMBLY NEWS Volume 8, Issue 8 February 2017 Affiliated Councils: Monsignor James Corbett Warren Memorial Council 5073 St. Gabriel Council 10061 Conseil St. Antoine-Daniel 10340 Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary 15920 Faithful Navigator’s Message: As our Navigator is away for a few months avoiding the Canadian winter, I will write a brief note on his behalf. January has proven to be quite a busy month, with a number of events for the colour guard (Basketball Free Throw, Special Olympics), the Big Band Concert, and a Fourth Degree Exemplification. I would like to extend a very warm welcome to our newest Sir Knights, SK Rocco DeVito, and SK Paul La Fontaine. It was wonderful to see them and their families at the exemplification, along with their sponsors. (See the picture later in this newsletter from the event). It is always worth mentioning the ongoing need for Honour Guard members, more events are slated for February beginning on Saturday February 4 th for the district Basketball Free Throw competition. We would benefit from new members joining the colour corps and certainly would appreciate anyone coming out to try it. We have spare regalia available so all you would be committing initially is a little time. It is a very rewarding feeling to be recognized for demonstrating the Knights’ commitment to church and country! Our meeting will be held this Thursday, February 2 nd at the hall: we will begin with a sword drill at 7:00 pm, holy mass at 7:30 pm, followed by our business meeting. Please come out and enjoy the evening with your brother Sir Knights. Finally, it won’t be long before we are into our election season for the next Fraternal year. PLEASE consider a position on the assembly executive. If you would like to know more details of any of the positions, feel free to call myself, or any of our past faithful navigators (SK Vic Lefebvre, SK Jere Hartnett, SK Jack Costigan, SK Frank Gallant). We would be more than happy to explain the positions, and provide assistance should you decide to take on a role. See you at the meeting on Thursday, February 2 nd . John Rynn (Acting Captain) for Finlay Morrison, PGK Faithful Navigator
