June 12, 2020UPDATE ON HOLY NAME KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL 12030
From Fr. Daniele: Over the past year, there have been difficulties and strained relationships between members of the Knights of Columbus Council 12030 and the Pastor, staff and parishioners of the parish community.
This situation was unfortunate and regrettable. In the spirit of reconciliation and fairness, an effort has been made on both the part of the Knights of Columbus Council 12030 and Fr. Daniele to work towards a better future together. On May 25, 2020, in the presence of our Diocesan Bishop, apologies were offered on all sides and a shared hope of a new beginning was expressed by all present.
The Council has elected a new Grand Knight, Mr. Les Collins. Together, Grand Knight Les Collins and Fr. Daniele look forward to leave any ill-will behind them and begin again in a new and fresh way that will better serve the parish community, and look at how the Knights can best operate as Knights within our region of North Bay.
From New Grand Knight, Brother Les Collins:
On May 25, 2020 a meeting was held to resolve the conflict that continued to embitter the negative relationship developed between Council 12030 and Holy Name of Jesus Parish. Reconciliation has taken
place amongst all parties involved. Father Michael Cundari Council 12030 is also in a position of integrating back into Holy Name of Jesus Parish in a new and fresh way that will better serve the priest and parish community. Open dialogue and directive from Fr. Daniele Muscolino, our Chaplain and Parish Priest, will enable our Council to focus on the issues that will be most prudent in achieving this.
As Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus Fr. Michael Cundari Council 12030, I offer our sincere apologies to any parishioner who may feel resentment towards Council 12030 or has been negatively
affected from the misadventure that happened on May 29, 2019.
Reconciliation has occurred. Let us all move forward in the spirit of love and prayer for one another as Jesus has taught to us to do.
Brother Les Collins, Grand Knight
Fr. Michael Cundari Council 12030
