October Knight of the Month

Our October Knight of the Month has been to nearly every event we’ve had in the last two months, and is arguably the most dedicated Knight we’ve had during that time. He spent a 10 hour shift in our Renaissance Festival fundraiser, tied cornstalks for a morning at Cook’s, then went back the next week

Charity begins at home…

For the past few years St. Anne Knights have sponsored a section of Oakwood Road East from M15. Early last Saturday you may have seen your fellow parishioners in dayglo yellow vests picking up trash. We don’t get money for this. Twice a year we do our part to beautify our town because it fits

Successful MI Drive!

I’m pleased to announce the success of our 2025 MI drive!

And it’s worth pointing out we had a more comely group this year over last,

It’s All Because Of You

You may have heard (if you weren’t at the event) that your Knights council donated $5,000 to the St Anne Parish Fundraiser. That’s just about 20% of your entire yearly charitable budget. And it doesn’t happen without you, the parishioner. The dollars you so generously put in the basket at the pancake breakfast or Franks

Candy-cane CHRISTmas Tree Farm

I learned something amazing my first shift parking cars at Candycane CHRISTmas tree farm. (I admit, I wasn’t looking forward to standing in freezing weather for hours on my Thanksgiving weekend). What I learned? EVERYONE who gets out of a car at a Christmas tree farm is filled with the Christmas spirit! It’s truly inspiring.
