Faithful Friar’s Message

My dear Brother Knights,

It has been my joy and honour to be part of Knights of Columbus Pope John Paul II Assembly #3176 in

Burlington as your Faithful Friar. As of June 30th

I am moving out of the Diocese of Hamilton to the Diocese

of St. Catharines, where from August 3rd

2021 I become the Pastor of St. Therese of Lisieux Parish in Port

Colborne, Ontario. In my new parish there is Knights of Columbus Our Lady of Fatima Council #3732, to

which I will be most probably transferred. I will continue to serve God as his priest and proud Knight of

Columbus. As the month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus I entrust you and your families to

the Divine Heart of Jesus. May the divine love that flows from the Heart of Jesus fill your hearts to be his

faithful and courageous servants! I ask for your prayers for my new assignment so that I will fulfil God’s

will, being a pastor according to the Heart of Jesus! Please remember to pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart

of Jesus during the month of June. God bless you all,

Yours in Christ,

Father Janusz Rogiński, S.A.C.

Faithful Navigator’s Message:

Sir Knights:

With the month of May days away from being over, June brings some changes. At our meeting on Thursday

June 3rd

, we will be holding elections for a new executive. If there is anyone who would like to serve on the

executive, please call me. There are still two openings: one as Inner Sentinel (Guard), and the other as

Trustee.

On the first of July, we see the movement and transfers of parish priests. Father Janus Roginski, our

Friar, will be moving to Port Colborne. Thank you Father for all your help and spiritual guidance.

Your smile is contagious.

A rumour I heard was that we could be attending mass in our churches again in July.

Please keep the soul of Rev. Msgr. Paul Boucher in your prayers. He was the founding pastor of St. Paul

the Apostle Parish in Burlington. He was one of the members of the “Flying Fathers” hockey team.

I would like to say thank you to Sir Knight John Bennett for taking the time from his schedule to publish

the newsletter every month and also for being a Trustee.

Vivat Jesus

June interesting dates

June 6 – D-Day

On this historic day in 1944, Allied troops invaded the beaches of Normandy, France. It is the largest

amphibious assault in world history. This massive, bloody battle was the turning point of the war in the

European theater.

June 18 Go Fishing Day

Today is Go Fishing Day. Now, this is my kind of day! It's a day to go out and bring home a healthy, tasty,

meal for the family.

June 20 Father’s Day

A day to honor Dad. NO. Rather, it is a day to enjoy time with Dad and appreciate all he does for us.

Particularly our spiritual fathers who serve both God and their parishioners.

June 23 Let It Go Day

Got something that's bothering you? Perhaps it's been this way for a long time. Today is Let it Go Day, the

perfect opportunity to shed your worries and concerns.

June 24 St Jean Baptiste Day

Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day originated from celebrations of the summer solstice, an ancient pagan tradition in

which fires were lit to celebrate light on the longest day of the year. In France, the Roman Catholic Church

adapted this holiday and associated it with John the Baptist, cousin of Jesus.
