Pioneer Council 485 at St Patrick Basilica conducted its membership recruitment drive over the weekend of October 21-22, 2023. Six Masses followed by a short speech from six different members of the Order saw dozens of prospects step forward to express their interest in the Knights. Thanks to brothers Brian Bridson, James Lesway, David Gallagher, Sam Freemark and Jean-Philippe Tardiff for helping our State Deputy, Bruce S. Poulin speak to the parishioners and to the dozen other members who also helped with the Church Drive. We are also indebted to two District Deputies Ron Hutt and Roger Richard who were very engaged in recruiting after the Masses.
