St. Clare's Breakfast Oct 6

 Third Call for volunteers.  I believe I've got enough people for load in and setup Saturday Night.  But I could still use more people for Sunday 7-10:30 am or 10:30am-2pm (start times on that first will depend on what you're doing, the more people for cleanup the earlier we'll be out of there).  seebert42@gmail.com  to volunteer

Reminder: Ministry Fair at St. Clare's this weekend

 If you go to St. Clare's, and can hang out after Mass to talk about your experience with the Knights, we can use your help at the table at the Ministry Fair after all three Mass times.

Call #2 for upcoming Breakfast Volunteers

 In particular, we're looking for a person to do scrambled eggs.  We'll give you great tools- non-stick woks, woking sticks, and a nice stick blender- to make the fluffiest eggs possible.  Our egg man will not be available for the next two breakfasts. Most of my spreadsheet is still open- all three shifts we still need volunteers for- for October 6 breakfast at St. Clare, we set up Saturday, October 5 at 6:00pm, Then Sunday 7am-10am or Sunday 10am-close.  seebert42@gmail.com  to volunteer We also need to start gathering volunteers for the following week, October 13 at St. John Fisher.  mdevprop@hotmail.com to volunteer

Essay Contest now open to all 8th graders

October 1-October 31 is our Essay Contest.  Essays are due October 31.  This year, we're opening it up to any 8th grade students at St. Clare's and St. John Fisher- not just the Parish schools.  1st Prize, $100, 2nd Prize $50, 3rd Prize $25.  Prizes will be awarded at the Knights potluck on the 3rd Tuesday of December. Kids essays will be judged with those entered from the school kids, but we are looking for 6 winners- 3 from each parish- to send on to State.  The theme this year is fascinating:   Virtue is a habitual and firm disposition to do good. It governs our acts, orders our passions, and guides our conduct by reason and faith. It also encourages Christians to live in a relationship with the Holy Trinity. The call to live a virtuous life applies to individuals in every state of life and occupation, including our elected leaders.  In an essay of 500-750 words, what are the two most important virtues for an elected leader to possess, and...

Call for Volunteers- October 6 Breakfast at St. Clare

Image
 It's a bit early, so I'll put out a 2nd post later, but if you have a favorite thing to do at the Breakfasts, pick a shift and send an e-mail to seebert42@gmail.com .  Shift 1 is for setup- the more hands the better, go to 5pm Mass then come over and help us set up.  Shift 2 is basically setup and serving 9:30-10:30 for 8:30 Mass- if you're on the serving line I'll likely send you to Mass and have you do the "Judas Shuffle"- get communion and then come to tell us that we're about to get a rush.  Shift 3 is the same, but for 10:45 Mass.  Cleanup is usually done by 2pm.

Seminarian Introduction

 No, as far as I know we haven't been assigned a seminarian for our council.  But this came out from the archdiocese, so I thought I'd put the link out here.  This bio is from my nephew Andrew Seeber , posted recently to the Archdiocese Seminarian Program website. Ted

From DD7 Isaac Schrader on the subject of 9/11

Speech from tonight's Blue Mass in Hillsboro Brother Knights, Today, we gather to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. On that fateful day, our world was forever changed. We witnessed acts of unimaginable terror, but we also saw the very best of humanity in the bravery and selflessness of countless individuals. Among those heroes were members of our own Knights of Columbus. More than forty of our brothers perished in the attacks, with eighteen sacrificing their lives while offering a lifesaving hand in New York City. We honor their memory and the ultimate sacrifice they made for others. As Knights, we are called to live out our principles of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. The events of 9/11 remind us of the importance of these values. We saw charity in the outpouring of support for victims and their families. We witnessed unity as people from all walks of life came together to help and heal. Fraternity was evident in the bonds formed among first ...
