A Knight by vocation
From serving the Church, to charity work, Intellectual and economical pursuits, to everything in between, the path of a Knight is limitless and it’s really what the Knight makes of it himself. Sir Knight Steven took that personally, and to heart, having grown to be one of the most forefront Knights in Canada for the Order of the Temple of Jerusalem. Although new to his role in the Knights of Columbus, the compliments have been plenty for the works and results produced already in such a short a time of his just-started tenure.
Through, and with his Orders, Steven performs a number of charitable works for his local community and has aided in the communties of Hamilton, where the Grand Priory is seated, the charitable works include assisting our less fortunate members of the community, and assisting other charities and organizations that also do the same. Steven has a heavy focus on his administrative duties to his Orders and specialises in intellectual and economical pursuits.
