Dear Brother Knight, On Friday, June 16, Catholics around the world will celebrate God’s love for us on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is a day to honor Christ’s humble gift of his very self, offered out of deep and abiding love for all of humanity. This Friday, however, is also the day the Los Angeles Dodgers professional baseball team has chosen to celebrate a group of men who masquerade as Catholic nuns and mock the Virgin Mary, consecrated women, and Jesus Christ himself, through their shocking displays and vulgar behavior. As noted by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), the decision of the Dodgers is “not just offensive and painful to Christians everywhere; it is blasphemy.” In response, the USCCB has called on Catholics to pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 16 “as an act of reparation for the blasphemies against our Lord we see in our culture today.” The Knights of Columbus urges its members to respond to the ca...

Gross $333.22 Expenses $115.97 Net $217.25 Pretty good for light crowds- only served 45 breakfasts.  That is average giving of $7.40 a breakfast, and it only cost us $2.57 a plate.  Plenty of spare pancakes went to St Vincent De Paul. Here are some pictures from the Breakfast:

Lake Oswego council is holding a Fraternal Benefits night.  Cicero and his wife are moving to Vancouver from Hawaii. Gentlemen,   Please let me know if you will attend our General Agent Cicero Seisdedos Fraternal Benefit Presentation this Monday, June 12 (7-8 pm) in the OLL Parish Hall.   I ask because it's mission critical that we get at least 14 members attending this presentation as part of our efforts to achieve Star Council this fraternal year.   Thanks very much and hope you can make it Monday!   Brian  cell: 503-887-7185

I am hoping that a few members of the K of C can help a woman who currently is residing at Brookvale Assisted Living to her home. Her moving date is possibly Thursday June 29th, but there are options for the Friday or Saturday. She needs to be out by the end of June. Her name is Edith Luther and her room # is 325.  Brookdale is located at 11552 SW Lesser Road - parking is scarce and there is only one elevator in the building. She has one mattress - which is big and bulky and heavy, one bed frame that she claims is not heavy, one TV, one night stand, small dressed (about 3 foot by 4 foot), one lamp, and a few boxes.  Her home address is 2122 NE 116th Ave. off of San Rafael St. 97220. A van or larger pickup truck would be great or If need be, I will rent a U Haul van, but I would appreciate some members to give a hand loading and unloading. To volunteer and co-ordinate, email Deacon Bill at dcnbill@saintclarechurch.org

Hot on the heels of a very successful breakfast, let's do it again!  We're looking for volunteers for the June 11 breakfast at St John Fisher!   Email Mike Devlin  to volunteer.

 Despite being a bit shorthanded, the breakfast was very successful.  Some raw numbers: $730  Gross $221 expenses - $198 n Ken Paulsen's shopping, Ted and Christopher bought the milk for $23 $509 profit. 140 plates served, with an average of $5.22/plate donation, $1.57 in expenses per plate. Without our normal people doing milk and OJ and coffee, we only just barely got drinks out in time, but a BIG thank you to James Michael Morgan, Gene and Cathy Andres, Shannon and Ted Seeber, and Don Mey on setup Saturday, which was accomplished before 7pm.   To Ken Paulsen for shopping, as usual, though we did use Christopher's employee discount to get a better price, we discovered a sale at Safeway that was better for the Chocolate Milk, so Ted and Shannon hit both.  On Sunday, Ted  started making coffee early, and Gene showed up early to start sausages and getting ready.  James Michael Morgan and Don Mey also came in early to work, Scott Young and our Egg M...
