Fish Fry Friday
Yet another fantastic night was had at the annual Fish Fry Friday hosted by the Columbiettes. A large turnout meant the Columbiettes had a lot of fish to fry – “Simply Delicious” lived up to their company name and provided excellent food cooked onsite for everyone.
It was great to see everyone talking and laughing while enjoying the food. This is a fantastic event and everyone is already looking forward to next year’s!
Thanks to Patti Terranova and her Columbiettes team who outdid themselves yet again by providing an excellent event, and to the Knights who helped set up and take down at the end of the night, especially Xaviar Flores who took some excellent snapshots of the event!

St Patricks Day Fundraiser Event Report
A fantastic night was had at Our Lady of Fatima School Gym on Saturday afternoon, March 15th. A huge crowd of over 130 parishioners turned up to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in style. The afternoon started with Fr. Paul giving an Irish Blessing to kick things off, followed by a fantastic meal provided by our top two sponsors, O’Neills Pub and Restaurant of Norwalk who provided the Irish food, and the Wilton Market who provided cookies and dessert for everyone.
Once everyone had their fill, they gathered for the raffle of the year – in total, Wilton local businesses offered up 13 prizes, including Rings End Wilton, The Village Market Wilton, The Little Pub Wilton, Stop & Shop Wilton, Wilton Hardware, Marleys Restaurant Wilton, Craft 14 Kitchen & Bar Wilton, Pinocchio Pizza Wilton, Tavern on 7 Norwalk, Wilton Kneads, Tusk & Cup Wilton, the Wilton Chamber of Commerce and Sipsters Wilton. In addition, our local First Selectman,Tony Boucher, personally offered up about 13 UConn Huskeys and Wilton Highschool Apparel, including Sweatshirts, Hoodies, Shirts, and Caps. In total, over 26 very happy people left with prizes on the night, including Fr. Paul.
This was all followed up with Irish Dancing from the MulKerin School of Irish Dancing from Fairfield, managed by Kathy Carew., who danced their hearts out for over 30 minutes. It was great to see the crowd clapping and cheering in tandem with the dancers.
I would like to thank everyone who helped out in preparation for the night, including the Wilton Knights of Columbus, the Wilton Columbiettes let by Patty Terranova, and I have to specifically mention Suzette Grimmer who is a genius at creating marketing materials, Fr. Paul and, of course, everyone who turned up on the night. A goal that Patty Terranova and myself set for this year was to create social events for the parish that would bring people together and I think this event showed what a great time people can have by coming together and getting to know each other.
Our next event is the Fish Fry Friday on April 4th – we will be posting further information about this shortly, so please stay tuned.

Congrats to Peter Rubsam
Congratulations to Peter Rubsam, one of own from Council 12698, on becoming the latest Sir Knight of the 4th Degree of The Knights of Columbus. Peter was privileged to attend the ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC marking the 125th anniversary of the first exemplification on February 22nd 1900. Peter was part of a class of over 700; the first exemplification had over 1,100 candidates. The entire ceremonial was overseen by His Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan and Supreme Chaplain, His Excellency Archbishop William Lori. They also celebrated a Mass and attended a banquet afterwards.
The next exemplification in CT is on Sunday, April 6, at the birthplace of our order, St. Mary’s in New Haven. If you wish to be a part of the Patriotic arm of our order, please let us know soon. You’ll have to complete a Form 4 application, email it to Council 12698 for verification at WiltonKnightsOfColumbus@gmail.com before it is sent to Bishop Fenwick Assembly 100. I encourage all of our 3rd Degree Knights to become members of the 4th Degree.
Congratulations again to Peter in his fantastic accomplishment, and thanks to his wife Jeannie and all the others who were there with him to celebrate.

Successful Fr. Reggie Move
On January 25th, at 11am, about 30 Volunteers turned up to help Fr. Reggie move to his new St. Mark’s Parish in Stratford.
Fr. Reggie has been Pastor of Our Lady of Fatima for the past 12 years and has been a big supporter of the Wilton Knights of Columbus, and is also the Faithful Navigator for Bishop Fenwick Assembly 100 based in Norwalk CT.
Everyone got stuck in and helped load the truck which was generously provided by Richie Cunningham. Loading and unloading took over 3 hours and everyone returned to Our Lady of Fatima for some refreshments and pizza, a well earned meal!
Thanks to everyone who turned up and we wish Fr. Reggie success in his new Parish!
