Submitted by Bruce S. Poulin, State DeputyFor the first time in seven years, a blue mass was hosted by the Knights of Columbus for first responders, police and our military veterans at Sts. Mary and Martha Church in Mississauga on November 16. It was a nice tradition that was always appreciated by the community, and it was a much anticipated return of a tradition that was sorely missed for several years. Congrats on our brother Knights for bringing the event back to the community.
