On July 13th, 2019, Knights of Columbus Council 2031 celebrated their 100th Anniversary.
The original charter document establishing Council 2031 was signed on July 13th, 1919, and to be able to celebrate the exact date 100 years later is an amazing experience. We thank God for this wonderful sense of timing, and renew our vow and commitment to continue to do good work in His name.
Bringing greetings and congratulations to the event was MP Cathay Wagantall on behalf of the Federal Government, MLA Greg Ottenbreit on behalf of the Provincial Government, Mayor Bob Maloney on behalf of the City of Yorkton, State Deputy Chris Bencharski on behalf of the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council and Saskatchewan State Council, as well as various other church and community organizations and individuals. Council 2031 would like to thank each of these individuals for their wonderful words of wisdom and insight.
As part of the 100 years celebration, the KofC Council 2031 presented Mayor Bob Maloney with a cheque to purchase a park bench for the community. We are planning on having the park bench installed in the KofC park. Thanks to the generosity of the attendees of the event, we were able to reach our Salvation Army Food Bank goal of 100 cans of food. We collected 111 cans, which will be included in the St. Gerard parish’s regular delivery to the Salvation Army. Council 2031 would like to thank the residents of the City of Yorkton and surrounding area for their support as we continue to support the many organizations in our community.
