On October 3, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Council #12706 proudly hosted a Testimonial Banquet Dinner in honour of Immediate Past State Deputy Bruce S. Poulin.

The evening was filled with celebration, camaraderie, and heartfelt recognition of Capt. Poulin (Ret’d) and his steadfast dedication to the Knights of Columbus—both throughout the years and during his successful 2023–2025 term as State Deputy. Surrounded by Brother Knights, friends, and family, the event served as a tribute to his leadership and enduring commitment to the principles of the Order.

A highlight of the evening came when State Secretary Joe Bodnar (left) and State Deputy David Gelinas (right) presented a special gift to Brother Bruce (center) on behalf of the State Board and Past State Deputy Marcel Lemmen—a memorable moment of deep appreciation for his exemplary service.
