THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE CARLINGTON COMMUNITY CONNECTION BRUNCH!

On October 3^rd members of the Knights of Columbus with strong support from the CWL and other members of the parish provided a healthy and filling brunch for those who are supported by the Carlington Community Connection. Food Insecurity is literally only a few miles from our Church and the efforts of the parish community who purchased, prepared, delivered and served food contributed to the success of this project. The appreciation and gratitude for the generosity St. Basil’s of our time, food and compassion was appreciated by the Connection’s chaplain Steve Zytveld who was overwhelmed by the generous menu served to Ottawa’s needy and gave prayful thanks for the bounty we served.

Many thanks to Produce Depot for their generous donation of fruits for this project.

Special Olympics Cheque Presentation - August 2026

On August 8th, your Knights of Columbus presented a cheque totaling five hundred dollars to the Special Olympics. The Columbus Club Charitable Foundation topped up the monies collected from the original bottle drive. It is not only police, but also correctional services (adult and youth) that support the Special Olympics. Present with the Knights and Father Adolphus were Rob McLaurin and Vanessa Scott from the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General Correctional Ceremonial Unit who participated in this presentation. A sincere thanks to the members of the parish who supported this drive.

Winter Clothing Donations - Thank You!

Thank You!

On behalf of the Knights of Columbus St. Basils Jubilee Council #18772 we again wish to express our heartfelt appreciation for the support of the parish to make our coats drive for those released from courthouse cellblock a success!

Sgt. Denis McKinnon, pictured with members of the Knights was overwhelmed by the generosity we have shown to those who are released from court. He also advised that anything they do not need will be donated to other charities. In addition, he hopes to stop by in person for a parish event to thank the community for our generosity.

A special thanks to Aaron Ludmer for developing our graphics; our custodian Ibrahim who assisted us with moving items when needed and assisted with the delivery. A thanks to my brother Knights and most importantly heartfelt thanks to St. Basil’s parish community. Without your support this project would not be possible! THANK YOU!
