On behalf of the Saskatchewan Knights of Columbus Charitable Foundation, Mary Mother of the Church Council #11888 was honoured to present a $3,000.00 cheque to Father Daniel Yasinski on Sunday, July 6, 2025, at Our Lady of Lourdes Church.
This donation is designated to support the parish’s food distribution program, which provides essential assistance to individuals and families in need of financial support to purchase food.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Eugene Thera on Thursday, July 3, 2025.
Eugene and his beloved wife, Lillian, resided in Battleford for many years before relocating to Saskatoon. He was a dedicated member of Battleford Council 5626 and served the Knights of Columbus with distinction throughout his life.
Eugene held the office of State Deputy from 1978 to 1980. He served on the Board of Directors of the Saskatchewan Knights of Columbus Charitable Foundation from 1972 to 1982, and again from 2005 to 2010. During his tenure as State Deputy, he also served as President of the Foundation from 1978 to 1980, and later resumed this role from 2005 to 2010. Additionally, he made significant contributions as a Conferring Officer for the Battlefords Major Degree Team for many years.
Eugene was widely respected and deeply appreciated for his vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the mission and values of the Knights of Columbus. His legacy of service and dedication will be long remembered.
Memorial donations may be made to the Sask K of C Charitable Foundation at www.saskkofc.foundation.
Through the grace of God, may he rest in eternal peace.
We have now received $1,770.00 in Fire Relief donations.
To: All State Board Members, District Deputies, Grand Knights, Agency Department, and K of C Membership of Saskatchewan.
We have received a request from the Councils asking that we consider developing a process for raising funds to assist those affected by the fires in the north. Sask K of C Charitable Foundation is going to take the lead in a Forest Fire Relief project for Saskatchewan Residents
We will immediately begin accepting donations earmarked for fire relief. We will pool the money to make one donation on behalf of the Saskatchewan Knights of Columbus. The Sask K of C Charitable Foundation will match the first $ 5,000.00 received from Councils and their members. Donations will be accepted through the Foundation office until September 30, 2025.
The decision on how we may distribute has not been finalized. We will begin by approaching the Catholic Diocesan offices that may have parishes affected to see if there is a need. Another option is to forward the funds to the Red Cross so it may be matched by the Canadian government.
Shawn Scherr will be the Project Chair for this initiative. If you have any questions or suggestions, he can be reached by phone at 306 221 1056 or by email at scherr@saskkofc.foundation
Cheques should be made payable to the Sask K of C Charitable Foundation. Payments can also be made by e-transfer payments@saskkofc.foundation or by credit card. Mark all payments “Forest Relief Fund.”
