The 2024-2025 fiscal year has been a fantastic success for our Our Lady of Fatima, Knights of Columbus Council 12698 – we have held some amazing events with help from our sisters the Columbiettes, as well as helping them with their events. In addition, we have raised a lot of money for  programs such as “Coats for Kids”,  ran a very successful fundraiser with our annual St. Patrick’s Day Event, with the funds being used for good causes such as First Aid Kits for Our Lady of Fatima Church and The Growing for Good charitable garden. We have participated in projects via Assembly 100, Keep Christ in Christmas, and many others.  To help expand our Faith, we organised two Masses and Rosaries which were open to everyone to attend and participate.

One of our biggest achievements though is that our team participation has significantly increased over the year. Meetings and Events are well attended, and there is no shortage of volunteers when needed, such as helping Fr. Reggie with his move to his new Parish.

I am also delighted to announce that we had 4 new joiners this year, which helped with all our initiatives. We look forward to Steven Dzik, Brad Wolf, Mark Drumer and Brian Dinkelacker’s participation for the full year in 2025-2026 and the energy they will bring to our team. 

Additionally, I would like to give a huge thanks to Peter Slavin who has recently transferred to another Council closer to his new home. Peter has filled many roles over a very long period with our Council, including Grand Knight and Field Agent. Our Council would not be what it is without Peter’s involvement, and I hope he knows that he can come join us at any time, no invites needed. Good luck Peter in your next adventure – we wish you the best!

All of this has been accomplished by a great team of Officers and Service Personnel. It gives me great pleasure to announce our 2025-26 team – congratulations to you all! Pictures for each Officer can be found by clicking here.
