NOTRE DAME H.S., 2 NOTRE DAME AV., BRAMPTON ON L6X 4W7

The goal was to do something different from the usual activity night and to have an excuse to eat lots of candies OR just to have a good time. Highlights of Activity: Mad Mad Team Challenge Obstacle course was as the name suggested silly and hilarious. 5 groups of 4 attempted to go through the obstacle course. Attempt is the key word. Some squires posed for the flying Snuka. Candies were given throughout the night. The squires were like squirrels chasing the candy. The Crazy Battery Charger won the final big treat for the best homemade costume.

Notre Dame H.S., 2 Notre Dame Av., Brampton ON L6X 4W7

The Cross, which makes its way to as many circles in the province as possible through out the fraternal year, was present during one of the weekly sports nights held by Brampton Circle. At the end of the competitive gathering, each Squire and Counsellor had the opportunity to hold the Unity Cross and individually state a petition. The Circle concluded with a closing prayer before handing the Cross over to Mississauga Circle 4681 the following week.

MAIN/HURONTARIO ST, BRAMPTON, ON CANADA

In conjunction with Council 4973 and in support of Cherish, St. Patrick's Circle 2041 Brampton took to Downtown Brampton in adherence with the Catholic Church in the ongoing battle against abortion and to join other Catholics in Brampton and show our support of Pro-Life. Over 60% of the Circle (consisting of 20 Squires plus families) lined up along Main Street displaying various pro-life signs along with the Knights of Columbus and hundreds of devotees. Brampton Circle, who were awarded the Brother Barnabas award for their Right to Life efforts last year, continue to step up and spread the message of Pro-Life.

ST. JEROME’S PARISH, 8530 CHINGUACOUSY RD

Thank you Fr. Jan. St. Jerome was again the site of our Officer’s Installation Night. After the mass, the squires and parents moved to the chapel to perform the ceremony. Our sponsoring council’s Chancellor was invited to host the event as per ceremony rules. All the counsellors were present (including our father prior) and each performed the announcement of duties to each officer. Afterwards, pictures and food dominated the event. It was pot luck in the reception. The biggest buzz was the lasagna brought by the chief counsellor. It was enjoyed by all. At the pictures will show, we had a great time.
