Monthly Donation Highlight

The Adrienne & Mervyn Welter Education Endowment Fund

Some legacies are built quietly, through years of faith, generosity, and commitment. The Adrienne & Mervyn Welter Education Endowment Fund is one such legacy — a testament to two individuals who believed deeply in the value of Catholic education and the importance of supporting future generations.

Being educators themselves, Adrienne and Mervyn understand that education is one of the most meaningful gifts we can offer. Their desire to help students grow in knowledge, faith, and service led them to establish an endowment in partnership with the Sask K of C Charitable Foundation. Their fund supports Catholic education through bursaries and educational initiatives, ensuring that students across Saskatchewan continue to benefit from opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

This endowment is more than a financial instrument. It is a living expression of the Welters’ values — their belief in learning, their commitment to faith, and their hope for the future. It shows what a successful educational endowment looks like in practice: a lasting source of support that continues to shape lives long after its founders are gone.

Their legacy reminds us that every donor can create something enduring, something that will continue to bless future generations.

Closing Thought: The greatest gift we can leave future generations is the opportunity to learn, grow, and serve.

Providing Help, Creating Hope

Since 1969, the Sask K of C Charitable Foundation has dedicated itself to creating, administering and advocating for programs and services that help families in need. Through our various programs, we have focused on assisting families to overcome life’s obstacles that threaten their self-sufficiency. Last year, we provided services to many families in Saskatchewan and touched the lives of countless others through our advocacy and convening efforts.

Cash Calendars

The Sask K of C Charitable Foundation has developed a Cash Calendar Fundraiser, with only 5000 calendars being printed. The 2027 Calendar features photos with text from 12 recipients of donations from the Foundation.

The cash calendar will have 64 draws throughout the year with a total payout of $25,000.00 in cash prizes. All Saskatchewan Knight of Columbus Councils will sell these calendars in the province for $40.00 per calendar.

Please contact the Knights of Columbus Council in your community to purchase your calendar and participate in this exciting project.

“In Memoriam” Program

The In Memoriam program is an excellent method to commemorate deceased loved ones.

It is a very effective expression of sympathy to families grieving the recent loss of a loved one.
It is also an opportunity to honour the memory of a loved one’s special day or memory, such as a birthday, a couple’s wedding anniversary, an anniversary of a loved one’s death, or any other special event.

The “In Memoriam” program also encourages Councils, Brother Knights, and their families to include the Sask K of C Charitable Foundation as a preferred charity in their end-of-life planning and discussions with funeral chapel directors.
