 Thank you so much to the Knights of Columbus John Clare Council 15485 for your generous donation of children's coats and the $500 check to the Francis Center.

Pray for Pope Leo XIV

 The biopsy from his successful surgery Tuesday morning, came back with a diagnosis of lung cancer. https://zeale.co/news/articles/pope-leos-lung-nodule-surgery-successful-press-office-announces

update on Fr Joe

Here is the latest update I have on Fr. Joseph Kunnelaya, a brother Knight from Prineville. A member of his parish let us know on Thursday that Fr. Joseph took a turn for the worse. He became unresponsive and was taken back into ICU.  They did further scans and found a brain bleed so they are treating that now. Please keep the prayers coming, he really needs them.

Prayers for Fr. Joe from Prineville

  Brothers, I'm wearing my Welfare and Prayer Chairman hat for this message. Fr. Joe Kunnelaya from St. Joesph parish in Prineville was hit by a car while in a crosswalk over the weekend. The accident was witnessed by a police officer who then called for a Life-flight helicopter to transport Fr. To St. Charles hospital in Bend. At last report Fr. Joe has a broken leg which will require surgery as well as injuries to arm/shoulder and other areas. His nephew is with him at the hospital and thanks the many people praying for him and asks that the prayers continue during his recovery.  I'm sure all of our priest are praying for him constantly while they participate in the convocation this week in Newport. Let's add 8000+ prayers from the Oregon Knight of Columbus to the effort as well. Please share this with your councils and parishes so we can get Fr. Joe healed up and back with his parish. Vivat Jesus,  Tim Grady- Executive Secretary Welfare and Prayer Chairman Oregon State...

OCTOBER IS RESPECT LIFE MONTH

The United States Council of Catholic Bishops have designated October Respect Life Month and the first Sunday of October Respect Life Sunday.   In August, the United States USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities released a document in which they expressed concerns about the recent changes by The Food and Drug Administration that made the abortion pill more easily accessible.  Here is a link to the document: (USCCB Announcement)   In the announcement they invite “all Catholics to join a focused effort of prayer and action to stop the spread of abortion pills”.  Click on the link “ Respect Life Prayer and Action ” to connect to the USCCB Respect Life web site to sign up (click the “Join Now”) to receive email notices of prayers and pro-life activities throughout the month.  Also included is a suggested prayer for the intercession of Mary the Mother of life (click here) and St. Joseph Defender of Life (click here) .    Especially during this month ...

Successful Breakfast at SJF, Repeat at SC next week

 Since somehow my recap of the Breakfast at SJF didn't post, I'm combining two posts in one.  First, SJF- syncing with the School Mass is beginning to pay off- we had 75 breakfasts out for the 9am Mass seating, and an additional 20 breakfasts out for the 10am Mass, for a total of 95 breakfasts served. We grossed $496 in donations Coming up quick is the breakfast at St Clare's.  I have talked to a few of you at Mass, and have started the spreadsheet of volunteers, but there are several spots still available. As usual, I'm planning on three shifts- volunteer where you can.  Some men stay the whole time, but others come for just the jobs they're interested in. Shift 1 is Saturday night after 5pm Mass- setup Shift 2 is Sunday 6:30am-10:15am (though many of the jobs on this shift might be 8-10:30 or 9-10:30, you might even be asked to go to 8:30 Mass and return after you get the Eucharist to let us know when Mass is letting out) Shift 3 is Sunday 10:30am-2pm (though we...

The Holiness of a Knight

Brothers, there comes a time in the life of every Knight when he must ask himself a question deeper than why he joined, how many meetings he attended, or how much good he accomplished: Am I becoming a holy man? Not an impressive man. Not an important man. Not merely a good Catholic man. A holy man. Because one day, brothers, all of this will end. There will be a final meeting. A final Mass. A final time we put on the regalia of a Knight. Someone else will sit in our chair. Someone else will do the work we once thought could not be done without us. And eventually, our name will be spoken mostly in memory. When that day comes, very few people will remember how many meetings we attended. But our wives will remember how we loved them. Our children will remember whether we had time for them. Our grandchildren will remember whether our faces lit up when they entered the room. And our brother Knights will remember whether, when life became difficult, we stood beside them. That is where holine...

Carpool to Canby for District Officer Training

Ted is organizing Carpooling to the district meeting in Canby on August 15th.  Meet at St Clare's Office Parking Lot by 7:15am.  Expect to return to St Clare's by 1pm. Announcement from Brothers In The Spirit: My brothers all In part due to a scheduling conflict with the District Meeting Next week in Canby, Week 3 will be delayed until August 22nd. The topic will be finding grace in our local parish and diocese regardless of what is going on in the rest of the world. 11 days ago, Archbishop Sample covered exactly this topic on his podcast in response to the autoexcommunication of the SSPX.  I realize it's a big ask, in this day and age of short attention spans, to set aside 48 minutes in our busy lives to listen to a podcast.   But I urge you to do it anyway, sometime before August 22nd, and join us in our discussion on that day, two weeks from today.   https://youtu.be/kOagN59BQz0? si=4yqKfesMVp_-Mctl Ted

Invitation to Week One: “Black-Pilling Week One—Satanic Masterpiece On Both Sides of the Spectrum”

  Honored Clergy and My Brothers All, I want to invite you to the first gathering in a four-week class on a difficult but deeply important topic: what happens when people begin to lose faith in religion because of the sins, failures, scandals, hypocrisy, or abuses of religious leadership. This first week is working under the title “Black-Pilling Week One—Satanic Masterpiece On Both Sides of the Spectrum.” The title is intentionally stark, because the experience itself can feel stark: a person sees real evil, real betrayal, or real corruption among those who claim to speak for God, and the temptation is to conclude that the whole thing is rotten. Some react by hardening into cynicism. Others react by defending the institution so fiercely that they can no longer hear the wounded. Both responses can pull us away from truth, charity, repentance, and hope.    If you have not watched it yet, the video at https://www.youtube.com/live/DhAZZGECvtc is what led me to tackle th...

The Brothers in the Spirit tackle Black Pilling

Brothers In the Spirit is a new spiritual outreach for Men at St. Clare's and St. John Fisher, an outgrowth of the ACTS retreat and our council's COR program.  We've been meeting in the Clare Room weekly, drop ins and drop outs welcome.  The schedule is Saturday mornings, 9am-10:30am, but we try to have coffee ready and the Mary's Garden door open by 8:45am. David Villigas will not be able to attend many of our sessions in August, and has invited Ted Seeber to lead our discussions.    For Our August small group series, we will be discussing a Crisis Magazine video,  "Deliver Us from Black-Pilling" . Please watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/live/DhAZZGECvtc .  Due to the elephant-in-the-room topic that has attacked the Church for at least the last 30 years, we will also have copies of Bishop Barron’s https://media.wordonfire.org/ebooks/Letter-to-a-Suffering-Church.pdf available as our Knights of Columbus Council purchased several a number of yea...

Brothers In The Spirit COR Group on Theology In The Body

 In May, Brothers In the Spirit at St. Clare's, our COR outreach group that came from the November ACTS retreat spent Saturday mornings discussing St. Pope John Paul The Great's Theology of the Body. In thanks to our Knight brothers Daniel Salomon and David Villegas, this summary of our discussions came out in the email this morning, and I'm posting it here for the Good of the Order. Dear Brothers in Christ,  As we conclude our month-long discussion on Theology of the Body, I want to extend my sincere gratitude to each of you for your participation, openness, and thoughtful contributions. The conversations we shared were rich, engaging, and deeply meaningful. Your willingness to reflect honestly and wrestle with profound questions helped make this study both intellectually stimulating and spiritually fruitful. One of the greatest blessings of our final discussion was the emergence of several important and insightful questions regarding how we understand and perceive Theolog...
