Resolutions

Our Council's Community Committee has taken the lead in bringing attention to issues affecting the role of Catholics and all Christians in a secular society. Members of this Committee drafted the attached resolutions. The membership of Council 12158 approved both resolutions.
- The Inclusion of Prayer in the Public Square - Our Council passed a resolution in 2003 on The Inclusion of Prayer in the Public Square. This was submitted to the Ontario State Convention. The resolution was passed by a vote of delegates at the convention held in May of that year.
- The Participation of All for the Common Good - In 2004, our Council passed and submitted another resolution. This resolution concerned The Participation of All for the Common Good and it upheld the right of Christians to express positions on abortion, euthanasia, marriage and other issues without being subject to criticisms of intolerance. Unfortunately this resolution was not presented for a vote at the Ontario Convention of the Knights of Columbus in the spring of 2004. We feel there is a great deal of merit to this resolution and that in the current climate, it is timely and necessary.
