Andrew Godbout
As a member of the Knights of Columbus since 2011, I
enjoyed serving my home council (3478) as a Recorder,
Chancellor, Deputy Grand Knight and eventually 3 years
as Grand Knight. Since 2017 I have serviced the Metro-
Vancouver area as a Knights of Columbus Field
I am at your service; please do not hesitate in giving me a call or email if you have any
questions or concerns at 604-819-7974 or andrew.godbout@kofc.org.
Thank you and God bless”
Agent and I am excited to now be able to return to the Fraser Valley and serve as your
Field Agent, building relationships with people in the communities that I call home.
As a result of the current need for social distancing, my plan is to reach out to the
membership via email and meet by phone or over video/voice call to field any
questions the membership may have.
WE WALK FOR PRO-LIFE
A LITTLE RAIN DIDN’T DAMPEN THE DETERMINATION OF CHILLIWACK KNIGHTS TO
GET THE WORD OUT AT THE 40TH ANNUAL WALK FOR LIFE LAST MONTH.
RAISED $500 TOO!
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
Once again a strong show of support from Brother Knights and
Parishioners for the 40th Annual Walk for Life. Between cash,
cheques and online donations, we turned over $500 to continue the
great works of Chiliwack Pro-Life. I’m sure our numbers would have
been larger if we didn’t have to contend with a pandemic, but we
walked comforted by the prayers and well-wishes of those who
(understandably) couldn’t journey with us this year.
Walk For Life Chair Peter Lindenhoff
Wow !! September is gone and Fall is here. I hope summer gave you a
chance to put your feet up, because "October" we are hitting the
pavement running heading into the fall. We have a number of programs
all Knights 3478 should take part in. The latest : check out Charity
Appeal online. Get your friends & not so friends to purchase. Have fun &
good luck.
All for local charities. Let's do our part and get a good start. We will also be asking for
some new Brother Knights to help with upcoming Masses, possible Free Throw practices
(in the works) and future events. Stay tuned And please join us online for a meeting.
May have to ask for a link. Please stay safe & take good care.
God bless
