You can tell how busy I'm getting by how far back in my e-mail I'm working on posting to my blogs.   http://event.on24.com/ wcc/r/1277826/ 9AB181F32E9F1CC6BF4F43ABCEFE83 C6?mode=login&email=seebert42@ gmail.com ">October 23rd, Supreme held a training for recruiters and as your membership chairman I attended.  The link above goes to the recording of the training.  I found it extremely interesting, and from it got a couple of ideas we will be talking about at the next meeting November 21st

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 5 AT 3PM  IN THE WEST TRANSEPT AT ST. CLARE'S DURING ADORATION! TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8 AT 7PM AT ST. JOHN FISHER DURING ADORATION! PRAY FOR A CHANGE IN OUR CULTURE TOWARDS LIFE!

I have great news to share with everyone Brother Bob Kish (past state deputy) and the other state officers voted to donate $2,850 towards the Oregon state KofC  Shrine . This donation pays off the remaining balance that we still needed to raise. We now have everything that was planned, funded Bob Kish, and all other state officers Thank you very much helping to complete this project God bless Doug Klein   Just in time for the dedication tomorrow at 3pm at the Grotto.  Hope to see a few of you there.

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 wa...

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. I ask that you promote this national novena widely through the ranks of our brother Knights and their families, as well as at pari...

I don't know about any of you, but I never thought I'd hear the word abortion, or euthanasia, in a homily at St. Clare's. Since the bulletin had a reminder that Fr. Don's homilies are online, I thought I'd post this message from our Chaplain in honor of Respect Life Sunday.

As we prepare to celebrate Columbus Day Weekend, let us keep in mind the more traditional view of this man's faith, as opposed to the libels recently added to his myths in the last few decades. Those libels are related to a certain popular racism against Spain , and come from rather doubtful sources. And do please wear your John Clare Council badges this weekend to Church, and help after Mass to pass out brochures. Ted has badge access to our closet at St. Clare's at 4pm on Saturday, so there is time to get brochures to St. John Fisher as well if they are needed.

This weekend is Columbus Day weekend, our traditional recruitment time! If you go to St. Clare's, please inform seebert42@gmail.com  which Mass you will be going to, and wear at least your name badge and if you have it, any clothing that has the Knights of Columbus symbol on it. If you go to St. John Fisher, please inform GK Deacon Scott  scoitik18@yahoo.com  , and inform him which Mass you will be going to. I will be asking for access to our closet for 4pm Saturday, so that I can get brochures and The Return Library out.  I can run brochures over to SJF before going back to St. Clare's for Saturday 5pm Mass, I believe that Saturday Evening Mass at SJF is at 4:30.

Outcomes from St. Clare Breakfast: Gross $605 Net $469 Donation $235 Note from Fr. Don: You fed us well, thank you!           Fr. Don Also, Kudos from Pia- she loved the pancakes, and will try to find the forks before March. Thank you to all who worked so hard on this breakfast.  I'll be trying hard next weekend to find us some help! Ted

So let the Holy Spirit roar in your soul:
