The St. Mark Knights of Columbus Council 10874 in Stouffville honoured their charter chaplain, Fr. Leslie Tamas who celebrated his 60th anniversary of ordination in May 2020. The council arraigned for a papal blessing from our Holy Father Pope Francis to honour this special milestone and presented it to Fr. Leslie after the 11am Mass on August 23rd.

Our council is grateful for Fr. Leslie’s unwavering support for the Knights of Columbus and his belief that “The World Needs More Knights!”.
