Medjugorje Informational Meeting

Dear Brother Knights,

As you know, I'm helping my son Kenny in his effort to help others get
to Medjugorje.  So far, quite a few people are planning to go in Late
March - maybe a couple dozen or more.  So he's planned some
"informational meetings" to explain how it works and how to prepare. 
The meeting in Portland will be this Sunday at 7pm at Round Table Pizza
near Barbur Blvd and Capitol Hwy. (next to McDonald's).  So if you, or
others you know would like more information, or would just like some
pizza, please come by and join us.

Although this is not an "organized" group pilgrimage - and NO money
changes hands - Kenny's effort is to explain the details of the
pilgrimage so that even first-time travelers can get the most out of
it.  As I may have explained to you, Kenny was somewhat skeptical about
Medjugorje, but included a short visit in connection with his European
vacation.  He, and his family witnessed the "Miracle of the Sun".  He
told me that he always believed in God, but now he felt it was more than
"belief" as he now has been given "proof".  And he feels a responsibility for
being given this proof and that is why he's trying to help others visit
Medjugorje.  He recently returned from his second visit.

He's developed a website that offers more detail,

www.VisitQueenOf Peace.com

but these information meetings are probably the best way to get
questions answered.  Come join us if you can!!!

Thanks,
Ken

In Defense of Christopher Columbus

In case you didn't see the back of the center table flyer at the breakfast, here is a link to the article by Fr. John A. Hardon for Columbus Day.  It's well worth the read, for it dispels many of the current myths about Christopher Columbus.

A great weekend

Congratulations to Joe and Gene on getting your Knighthood Degree.

We had another successful breakfast, raising $756, spent $170 on food, giving St. Clare's $243.

I think that is a record.

I counted 165 plates served, which means our breakfasts at this point are costing us about $1.03 a plate.  We made up about 30 lbs of pancake batter, 31 dozen eggs, and 39 boxes of sausage.

Thank you to all who helped!

2nd call for volunteers

Sunday, October 7 is our first breakfast at St. Clare's for the year, and we still need a lot of help.  I could use 2 more volunteers for setup Saturday night, (Sunday morning now due to a baptism reception) and several more volunteers for the 6am-10:30 am Sunday shift, and the 10:30am-2pm Sunday shift.  Please contact Ted Seeber at seebert42@gmail.com if you have not already.  And thank you to Ken Paulsen, Michael Chau, Joe Mildenberger, Laura Bower, Mike O'Phelan, Christopher Seeber,  Mike Devlin and James Michael Morgan for volunteering already.

Do NOT just think if you can't do a full shift, we can't use you.  Just e-mail Ted Seeber and let him know!
