This Council of the Knights of Columbus was established in May 2017 serving the St Benedict of Nursia Parish in Milton, ON. Reverend Father James Petrie was the Pastor, who took great interest and encouragement for the formation of this Council. Twelve Brother Knights and Fr James Petrie with the Worthy District Deputy Kevin Smith held the first\u00a0 meeting on October 10th 2017. The Council meeting was held in the Library of Our Lady of Fatima School, since the Church was not yet ready. The election of the Office bearers of the first Council was held on the same day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
