Knights of Columbus
John Clare Council #15485

 From Donna: I am now officially a widow.  My husband of 67 years, Phil, passed away Wednesday at about noon of a massive stroke after lingering, unconscious, for four days  in the hospital. After talking to both the funeral home (Youngs in Tigard) and the church ( St. Juan Diego Church in Hillsboro  , click to map ) it was decided to have the funeral on Saturday, January 6th at 10 am with a reception at the church following.  The graveside ceremony won't be until one p.m. because it's in Tigard at the St. Anthony cemetery on Gaarde St. , click link to map.

  Volunteer opportunity, especially for St. Clare members. Need Help with chair set up at St. Clare Church for overflow Christmas and Christmas Eve Masses. Prime opportunity for St. Clare members but all volunteers are welcome. When: Approximately 9:30 AM following the 8:30 AM mass, Sunday 12/24.  What: Move chair racks from Parish Hall to Church and set up chairs in church for extra seating. Currently have 2 volunteers, Don Mey and Richard Digregorio. We could use 2 to 4 more to make short work of this task. Please contact Don Mey directly via email or text if you wish to volunteer.  email, GK@kofc15485.org, or text 434.429.9881. Thank you

 Our Holiday Party was quite the success this year- with 4 out of our 7 essay contest winners present.  However, due to sound quality in the video, I am also posting this link to our full PDF submitted to the State Competition.   You can also watch the video online on Youtube .  I would suggest, due to sound quality issues, that downloading the PDF first to read along with the kids will help.

I suddenly realized the Survey had the wrong title, which may be why I go no responses.  Here's the updated RSVP link for the Holiday Party.  Just trying to get a basic headcount and idea of food being brought- you are NOT limited to your choice in this survey Click here to RSVP

From Donna late last night: He died at noon today.  He never regained conciousness.  That's how he wanted to go-- quick and easy, painless.  He was ready to go Home!   -------- Phil fought the good fight, he finished the race, and now a crown of merit awaits him. Donna is well taken care of at Beaverton Lodge, she claims. More information will be forthcoming. 

We want a headcount for the holiday potluck next Tuesday, December 19, 2023. Click here to respond to the SurveyMoneky Alternatively, you can email seebert42@gmail.com or call Ted Seeber at 503-318-1508

 Tuesday December 19, 2023 will be our Holiday Potluck at St. Clare's School Cafeteria. Ted Seeber will have the decorations and open the room as close to 6pm as possible, 6:30pm is the potluck, 7pm will start our program featuring awards for the essay contest. You may bring either cold food or hot foot.  Salads, Deserts, Drinks and hot pots of every type are welcome.  We will have a power strip available for plugging in hot pots. Council will provide napkins, small plates, utensils.

Our past Financial Secretary suffered a stroke and is now at Kaiser Hospital West. He's currently not receiving visitors.  Please keep him and his wife Donna in your prayers.

  Worthy Brother Knights, I think it is fitting for us Knights to brighten the mood at this time of the year and spread the Gospel to the world. As we prepare ourselves for Christmas this year and encourage others to do so as well, it is fitting to do some Christmas caroling. Here are some details: Friday December 15th at 6pm Pioneer Courthouse Square 701 SW 6th Ave Portland, OR 97204 Make sure to reach out to all your council members and invite them to come, especially the singers of the council. Also be sure to have them bring their families too. Also feel free to bring Christmas/winter attire, hot chocolate, etc. I'll bring song sheets to share.

 For all young at heart, and young of bone.  Remember it is December- Dress Appropriately! While the kids are doing Capture the Flag, board games will be in the guest house and there will be a bonfire going, weather permitting.

For their 60th anniversary. CONGRADULATIONS TO TOM AND BONNIE!

The John Clare Council Christmas Potluck will be held December 19th, at 6:30 pm. Doors will open for setup at St. Clare School Cafeteria at 6pm. This meeting WILL be Hybrid this year, though of course if you're going to eat with us, come in person! We will NOT be setting up the full hybrid system, but you will be able to see a portion of the room on Zoom an hear our contest winners read their essays. Knights and their families, Essay contest winners and their families, are invited.

November 23, 2023 Thanksgiving Message from State Deputy Worthy Brother Knights, I would like to take this opportunity to bid each and every one of you a very hearty and sincere Happy Thanksgiving! As Knights, we have so many things to be thankful to God for. Let us take the time today to thank God for everything He has blessed us with! Thanksgiving is most commonly known and recognized for celebrating when the pilgrims came to the New World seeking out their religious freedom from England. There are many examples of people traveling to the New World wishing to freely live out their beliefs. This land and nation was founded on religious freedom. Many were willing to risk so much in order to come to this land and obtain such. This is how important religious beliefs are and important it is to be able to freely exercise these beliefs. Let us be thankful for the gift of religious freedom in our land and the ability to exercise our religious beliefs. Growing up, the Era of Exploration was m...

 It's time to order name badges again.  We haven't done so since Phil was FS, and we have a number of new members.  If you're like Ted Seeber- you also either lose them from time to time, or the Knights symbol has come off your badge. To that end, Ted Seeber and Don Mey are collecting names.  Please respond by November 10 if you need a badge.   You may also order a Lady's badge for your wife.   We did that pre-covid for a holiday party, and it was quite well received. seebert42@gmail.com dmey1951@gmail.com

 Thanks to all who helped make our breakfast at St. John Fisher this past Sunday a success.  As I passed through the dining area yesterday, I received a number of compliments on the quality of our breakfast. I also noticed, especially after the 11am Mass, people who were obviously first-time participants.  They needed direction to the kitchen.  I believe the word will get around as to how good our breakfasts are, and we will have even greater success in the future.   Also, when I returned the key to the SJF office this morning, the Business Manager commented on how nice the hall and kitchen looked this morning and what a great job we did on clean-up after the breakfast. Thanks again.

Gross $412 Expenses $170.55 Net $241.45

Volunteers are needed for the pancake breakfast we are hosting in the Corrado Family Center at St. John Fisher Church on Sunday October 22nd.  The doors will be open at 7AM to start the coffee, set up the tables and begin the prep work for the breakfast.  Cooking will begin around 9AM.  Meals will be served after the 9AM and 11AM Masses.  Help will also be needed to clean and set up the dining area between the Masses and for a complete clean up after the final serving.  We should finish by 2PM.  Please join us any time you can this Sunday.   

Charter member of Council 15485 , Denny Codd, passed away on Thursday, Oct. 12. His funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 8 at 11am. May he rest in peace.   Let's get as many Knights to his funeral as possible.

Beginning this Friday and every Friday evening at 7pm, we will have a Peace Hour to pray for peace in the Holy Land, the Ukraine, and everywhere there is violence and war. This will be an hour of quiet prayer, perhaps with some guided prayers. Fr. Richard invites all parishioners, neighbors and friends to come and pray.  copied, with permission, from the SJF bulletin

From Tom Owens, and Sojourner Magazine A PRAYER FOR PEACE IN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE BY  ROSE MARIE BERGER OCT 9, 2023     “They will not hurt or destroy     on all my holy mountain...” —Isaiah 11:9 God of Comfort, send your Spirit to encompass all those whose lives are torn apart by violence and death in Israel and Palestine. You are the Advocate of the oppressed and the One whose eye is on the sparrow. Let arms reach out in healing, rather than aggression. Let hearts mourn rather than militarize. God of Justice, give strength to those whose long work for a just peace might seem fruitless now. Strengthen their resolve. Do not let them feel alone. Show us how to support their work and bolster their courage. Guide religious leaders to model unity and reconciliation across lines of division. Guide political leaders to listen with their hearts as they seek peace and pursue it. Help all people choose the rigorous path of just peace and disavow violence. God of Love, we...

 Hello Gentleman,  I am sorry this took so long but I have a shirt option here for the council if we wanted to order in bulk. I went with the polo because they can be worn to mass but I also included the link to a t-shirt if anyone was interested. I chose this polo becuase it was just about the cheapest one and it has a pocket for our name tags. Both links are included to copy and paste into your browser if there is a problem with the images.  https://knightsgear.com/collections/polos/products/port-authority-core-classic-pique-pocket-polo https://knightsgear.com/collections/t-shirts/products/kofc-varsity-crackle-t

 Preliminary figures from Erik and Ken this morning were very exciting! 1st shift gross:  $730 2nd shift gross:  $435 Total gross: $1,170 Our wonderful shopper, Ken Paulsen, pulled off a major miracle in this time of inflation, cost of the groceries was only slightly higher than normal for the first breakfast of the season, $231.96. Which means our net is $938.04!  A new record for breakfast at St. Clare's. Our photographer Michael Chau borrowed Ted Seeber's video camera, and got some interesting footage as well, click through to the blog to play it!

Contact GK@KOFC15485.ORG to volunteer on Sunday if you have not already talked to Richard or Don.  Remember- many hands make for light work.

It appears that we are once again getting email scams under the names of our clergy and higher officers. If you get an email asking for a discrete matter, check the email address.  If it does not match what you know, do not reply. Of course, our order gives us a few code words we can use for emergency identification in untrusted communications: Fraternal Greeting: Vivat Jesus! Watchword of the Order:  Tempus Fugit, Memento Mori Addressing the person you are communicating with as Worthy Title, such as Worthy Grand Knight, or at least a respectful "My Brothers All". These should be given *slightly* more credence, but always enlist the help of other council members if there is a need.  Never offer help unilaterally, even if you think you can afford it.

Since 1973, the year the Supreme Court legalized abortion nationwide in Roe v. Wade, the month of October has been set aside by the U.S. bishops as a time to focus on protecting God’s precious gift of human life.  What better way to start the month than attending our council sponsored pro-life Holy Hour at St. John Fisher Church on Tuesday October 3rd at 7PM.  Our Holy Hours including Eucharistic Exposition, Pro-life Rosary and Benediction are at St. John Fisher at 7PM on the first Tuesday and at St Clare from 2PM to 4PM on the first Saturday of each month.

 Let there be PICTURES.  We missed out on Star Council last year by three recruits, but we're on track this year.

Fraternity, Formation, Prayer.  Supreme is asking us to start some form of the Cor program in our parishes.    Please visit the link from the blog, and watch the video at least.  There are a lot of options to implement this program.  Let's get those creative juices flowing, and we'll discuss soon.  Help the man- to help the family- to help the church.

 I went to the first one in Silverton, it was awesome.

  Worthy Brother Knights, Many of you may have heard at this point that St. Joseph's  Catholic Church in Salem experienced a devastating fire  early on 8/31. This is extremely devastating to our Catholic  community in Oregon and especially the Salem metro area.  It is one of the largest Parishes in the State. It is in times like this, when we as Knights are called to step  forward to assist those in need. I have reached out to the  Parish, the Council, the DDs in the area, and the Archdiocese  on guidance on how best to proceed. I also made correspondence  with Supreme. Having reached out to these resources, I have the  following information for all councils and would like to strongly  encourage each and every member of the State to assist in  any possible way. 1. There will be a public Rosary in the parking lot at St. Joseph's  on Sunday evening 9/ 3 at 7pm . Thank you very much to the  Keizer Council for helpin...

  Pray for St. Joseph in Salem Damaged in Fire A devastating fire broke out early this morning at St. Joseph Parish / Iglesia de San Jose in Salem. Archbishop Alexander Sample was on site all day to help support the community reeling from this tragedy. In a statement released earlier today, he gave thanks to God that no one was hurt and expressed his gratitude to the first responders. The Archbishop also implored the faithful to pray the Memorare at noon today in solidarity with the people of St. Joseph parish. The community is already hard at work on recovery efforts. Tents are up in the parking lot where the Archbishop celebrated Mass today with more than 300 of the faithful. Archbishop Sample will be back in Salem on Sunday to celebrate Mass at St. Joseph at 11:30 AM. All are invited to attend. Donations to the St. Joseph Salem Fire Relief Fund can be made online. Donate Now! You can also mail your donations! Please make your check payable to the Archdiocese of Portland and incl...

We are cleaning up some old posts.  Pardon our dust.  Sorry for the confusion.

  Worthy Brother Knights, I hope everyone has been having a great summer so far. I hope everyone has done lots of fun activities with family and friends. I bring you greetings from Orlando, FL at the 141st Supreme Convention. So far it's been great to see many familiar faces from previous Conventions and the SD meeting. We are now into our second month of the Fraternal Year. July was a slow month. I recognize that the summer is always slow as many people are taking well earned and deserved vacations with their families. I acknowledge that many of you work extremely hard between KofC commitments, jobs, family, and other causes. Taking vacations is good and healthy. That being said, councils do not need to take the summer off. In fact, there are so many opportunities that summer offers to councils that other parts of the year don't. These activities may invite new members to join. I'd like to strongly implore councils to remain active throughout the summer. Of course, all han...

 You want to watch this link!   Supreme posted it to their Youtube Channel. If you would be willing to chair any of these programs in our own council, respond to GK@kofc15485.org Great things are being done in our order!
