As per February 2015 Chaplain's Report

In our General Meeting, we heard in the Chaplain's Report about two issues that as Knights, true Catholic Men, we should be aware and concerned of.  The proposed changes from our Ontario government in changing the curriculum of our children's sex education and the Supreme Court of Canada preparing to issue a landmark ruling on euthanasia and the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario’s (CPSO’s) draft policy “Professional Obligations and Human Rights” on physician assisted suicide. 

If you would like an insight to the topics, I suggest you tap into the following links.

Seek the information and take action if you believe our voice is not being heard,.  Information can be found in articles, websites and speaking to our Church Leaders. 

Excerpted from the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
2223 Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children.
2229 As those first responsible for the education of their children, parents have the right to choose a school for them which corresponds to their own convictions. This right is fundamental. As far as possible parents have the duty of choosing schools that will best help them in their task as Christian educators. 38 Public authorities have the duty of guaranteeing this parental right and of ensuring the concrete conditions for its exercise.

2277 Whatever its motives and means, direct euthanasia consists in putting an end to the lives of handicapped, sick, or dying persons. It is morally unacceptable.
