A request from our Beef & Blueberry supplier

We do not normally do this, but our Blueberry supplier is in a bind.  The GK of Silverton council has two beef ready and just got a call from the Butcher's, which due to current supply chain issues had a year long wait list, so he has purchases available in half or quarter.  Very competitive price given inflation. Hand Maid Farm   William Bill Seeber   503-409-9650 We raise grass fed beef with no hormones or antibiotics.   The total cost for the wrapped beef will be about $8.00 per pound, depending on cutting instructions.   The Rail weight with bones is about:  600 lb. The price for the animal to be paid to the farm is on the Rail weight of $4.00 per pound to the farm. That price is made up of the following example: 1000 lb. animal 600 lb. rail weight 360 lbs. packaged Slaughter Fee $125 Cut & Wrap $360 Farm $2,400 Total = $2,885 Price per pound in the package = $8.01 / lb

Do not forget to let Gene know about your good works

 We were just talking about this last night in the Officer's meeting!  From the Oregon State Council: " In 2021-2022, Knights stepped up with more than 48 million hours of volunteer service. Each one makes the world a better place - and helps form men of greater purpose and service. A higher calling summons you each and every moment, and hour. Learn more at kofc.org. " How do we know this number for the entire order? In December and January, we ask men to fill out a survey about the volunteering work they do. That gets turned in as a part of our annual survey as a council. All councils turn this in, and it takes this long to process them all. By doing this survey, we justify our status as a 501c(8) nonprofit. EVERYTHING you do as a Knight counts, even if it is a more individual volunteering opportunity like being Eucharistic Minister to the Homebound, helping out a neighbor, or being there for a suffering friend. Think Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy-...

Exemplification Scheduled For Saturday,,October 8

We have an exemplification scheduled for Saturday, October 8, after the 5pm Mass at St Clare's.  While I believe we have all the reading parts covered, we could use two more volunteers for non-speaking parts.  Required dress code is a dark sports coat and tie.  Email seebert42@gmail.com  if you can make it.

Thank you to all who worked the Oct 2 Breakfast

We netted $619.26.(revised) Pictures to come.

Fr. Richard is sick.

 HI Brother Knights, I just learned this morning that Fr. Richard is in the hospital.  I was told that the Saturday evening mass may be canceled and there's uncertainty about tomorrow's masses.  I believe checking with the parish office may provide additional information.  (503) 244-4945  Please keep Fr. Richard in your prayers. UPDATE: I just got an email from St. JF saying "There will be no 5:30 Mass on Sunday, October 2. " Which I interpret to mean that the other masses are still on. On another note, I see too that the last edition of the Catholic Sentinel has just been published.  This periodical has been a centerpiece for Catholic information for 152 years.  It's sad to see it go and the high quality articles, editorials, photos and insights will be missed.
