My Dear Brother Knights,
Merry Christmas! And Happy New Year!
First up for the new year is a pancake breakfast at St. John Fisher on January 8th. We'll start setting up at 8 am. I have some SJF youth to help as well.
If you are able to volunteer for part of the day or all day, please let me know.
And Ted and Ken, how can we help you in getting the supplies from the closet and shopping for supplies?
God bless.

Marian Dogmas
Hi Brother Knights. Merry Christmas
I was reading a blog about the possible fifth and final dogma of Mary; that she is the Advocate, Mediatrix of all graces and Co-Redemptrix. These terms are somewhat confusing and easily misunderstood. All this is not approved yet.. .and may never be. But the conversation by theologians is pretty interesting.
The Catholic Church, in her history, has approved four Marian Dogmas:
1. Divine Motherhood (Mother of God)
2. Perpetual Virginity
3. Immaculate Conception (She was conceived free from original sin)
4. The Assumption (Taken to heaven body and soul)
Incidentally, the "infallibility" of the pope has only been used twice in the past 100 years or so in connection with establishing these last two dogmas. Infallibility is grossly misunderstood by non- Catholics who think we believe everything the pope says is infallible.
Incidentally #2; Mary identified herself as "The Immaculate Conception" to Bernadette in Lourdes France, during the apparitions there. Bernadette had never heard that term before, but repeated what she had heard. Those apparitions have been approved by the Vatican.
So anyway, this fifth dogma, if it happens in our lifetime, would be very interesting. And here's some of the discussion here:

Brother Florian "Pat" Peters passed away on November 17th. Pat was born on July 7, 1926 and was 90 when he passed away. Pat became a Knight in April 1950 and had 66 continuous years of service as a Knight. He was a Charter member of Council #3591. Pray for his soul and his family.

New Charitable Policy
As our council has grown, it was suggested that we needed a rewrite of the charity policy. The Financial Officers got together before our meeting Monday Night, and suggested several changes, some of which it was deemed needed a vote. All changes, as you can see in the minutes, passed. The following is an image of the PDF copy of the rewrite that Worthy Grand Knight Deacon Scott wishes us all to have a copy of. You may need to click on it to view it in your browser.
Next Meeting- Christmas Potluck!
Mark your Calendars! Next meeting will be a Christmas Potluck Social, invite your family! We're keeping it the same night- third Monday, December 19th, 2016, and we'll be inviting both parishes. St. Clare Parish Hall is the location, 6pm is the time. Bring your favorite Holiday Dish!

Essay Contest
Dear Brother Knights,
For our contest, the essays for St. Clare and St. John Fisher have been completed. Now we need volunteers to evaluate.
I suggest two teams to split up the work, with 3 people each.
If you are willing to help read essays and evaluate, please let me know.
I believe Ted has an evaluation form that we can use online.
I will be glad to read St. Clare essays. I recuse myself from St. John Fisher as I have already read the essays as their teacher and to avoid a conflict of interest.
All essays will be sent to you digitally (pdf hopefully).
God bless.

Expenses $147.31
Mass 1 net $210
Mass 2 profit $103
Total Net of $313
Donation: $156.50 to SJF Youth Group, who helped us with the Breakfast.
Thank you to our volunters Marc Gregoire, Evan Crader, Mike Devlin, Mike O' Phelan, Tom Owens, Michael Chau, Christopher Seeber, Ted Seeber, Jim VanDomelen, Paul Pompili, and of course, Breakfast Captain Ken Paulsen
Specific Kudos:
I think the breakfast was very successful on several levels. Cash, Camaraderie and Community benefits. The food was especially well prepared... Thanks for taking on the eggs Mike. We got many compliments - in fact, one man donated an additional $20 after breakfast as a "tip".
I will be preparing an inventory spreadsheet for our next (March) breakfast supplies. I suggest that we forego buying meatless sausage because it is so expensive and there weren't many takers... (I pushed it at tables.) I believe one of the two packages I bought was left over - but didn't see it after the event. Overall, there wasn't a lot of food left over and so I think our purchasing list is close to what we need - provided that the customer count stays about the same. Based on plate count, I think we served about 140 today.

Supreme Calls for National Novena
Dear Brother Knight,
In preparation for Election Day, the Knights of Columbus is calling its members and all the faithful to join together in a novena to the Holy Trinity through the maternal intercession of the Blessed Mother, under her title of the Immaculate Conception, patroness of the United States.
On the nine days leading up to Election Day — beginning on Sunday, Oct. 30 and concluding on Monday, Nov. 7 — please join me and Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William Lori in invoking the intercession of Mary, the Immaculate Conception, for our country.
In 1791, America’s first bishop, John Carroll, entrusted the country to the Blessed Mother, and in 1846 the bishops of the United States reaffirmed that dedication, declaring Mary as patroness of the United States under her title of the Immaculate Conception.
The novena prayer can be found HERE.
The novena prayer can be found HERE.
I ask that you promote this national novena widely through the ranks of our brother Knights and their families, as well as at parishes in consultation with your local pastor.
Thank you,
