KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS CONCERT

The Knights of Columbus have received much feedback that the recent Parish Christmas concert was a runaway success!  For allowing the Knights to be a part of this year’s Christmas concert, the Knights would like to thank Choir Director Jeff Cabralda and all the Parish Choirs as well as the children and parents who made such a concert possible.  As co-sponsor, the Knights aimed to spread the message – Keep Christ in Christmas through this concert.

As for  the Knights’ Choir, a great many people commented that it was fantastic to HEAR and SEE so many MEN gathered together to lead the congregation in song! In today’s society, where men are all but marginalized, we, the Knights of Columbus stand apart to show our dedication to our Catholic faith and as examples to lead our families in worthy acts.  If you’re interested in joining our (quite literally!) merry band of brothers, please contact the Knights of Columbus at 604-468-8205 or click on the link Contact Us.

Breakfast and Photos with Santa 2015

KOC held a pancake breakfast for the St. Joseph’s parishioners, and to help them get in the spirit of Christmas, KOC provided picture taking with Santa during the breakfast as well. The Columbian Squires also helped out during the breakfast by serving the food. The breakfast with Santa was a success overall. It remains as one of KOC’s popular community activity at St. Joseph’s Parish, as many parishioners enjoyed the festivities. Thanks to all of the Brother Knights who made this event successful!DSC_0054 DSC_0053 DSC_0051

Double Star Award

The Star Council Award recognizes outstanding achievement in membership, insurance and service program activities. To be eligible to earn the Star Council Award, a council must qualify for the Father McGivney, Founder’s, and Columbian awards.

Apart from good works, a council must also have submitted proof of its Fraternal Activity as well as a Report of all the Service Programmes run.

The fact that the KOC of St. Joseph’s Parish won the Double Star Award means that we were able to hit DOUBLE of all that it required. We are very proud of this great achievement and honour. A huge thanks to all the brothers who contributed to achieving this goal!

St. Joseph’s Summer Picnic

St. Joseph’s Parish Summer Picnic was one to remember! It was Fr. Thomas’ first summer picnic with the members of the St Joseph’s parish. Our very own District Deputy, Mark Pan, entertained the crowd with his skills on the guitar. Many of our fellow parishioners attended the picnic, and combined with the perfect weather. It was indeed a very joyful and fun-filled Sunday afternoon. Thank you all for attending and God bless!
