Council History

Established during the 169th anniversary year of the first Catholic church in London Ontario, which was built where the current Cathedral exists today, St. Peter's Cathedral Council 13404 received its official charter from Supreme Council on October 16th, 2003.

Pictured here, is the council's charter, bearing the names of the 52 members who comprised the council's membership at the time of its institution. Those brothers names are also listed below. 

In the celebratory charter night booklet, founding Grand Knight, Bro. Lawrence Jardine wrote in his letter to the council membership, words of encouragement that we should always remember that prayer is our foundation and shield, while works of charity are our strength. He concluded by reminding us that our mission was to spread peace, share with those in need, and listen to those who call on us, as exemplified in St. James' admonition that our faith and love are expressed in our good works, and St. Paul's reminder that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

The council celebrated its charter night and opening celebratory Mass on Saturday, June 4th, 2005. On January 19th, 2019, our council celebrated its 15th anniversary, taking a moment to both reflect on our successes and acknowledge the dedication of those members of our parish and council whose contributions were instrumental in our growth as a council, and contemplate the many opportunities that remain for us to respond to the call for service in our community.
