1 July 201 Newsletter Knights of Columbus Council 8909 P.O. Box 2, Castle Rock, CO St. Francis of Assisi Church, Castle Rock, CO Grand Knight s Corner by Cal Weatherly Brother Knights, A continued thank you to all of you for doing what you do! Happy Belated Independence Day to all of you! I hope everyone had a safe and joyful Fourth of July. With many Knights and their families taking vacations this month I also wish you all a safe, happy summer with your families. First off a big thank you to Andy Robinson for the use of his house and property for our officer installation. It was well attended and as you will see from the pictures, it was a beautiful day. Its official, you re all stuck with me for another year! Get ready Knights because here we go. Once again its fair time! As you all know this is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and will set the tone for the budget and ministries we can support next year. Please be as generous with your time as you can, and get out to the fairgrounds to help in the fish shack and Kirk Hall. As of a few short days ago we only have 54% of the slots filled, so please get out and grab an extra slot or two so we can make this fair a success! Don t forget wives are greatly appreciated and always welcome as well. Also, keep Reece s roundup in mind this coming weekend, July 30. As you know Jeff Rubino is a Brother Knight, so we will do everything we can to support his son Reece and his family with this important fundraising event. Please help out the Rubino s and have a good time this Saturday doing it. Also look at the activities section later in the newsletter, and at the calendar on the website for all event information. You are all a hardworking bunch, and for that I thank you, and I am sure our Lord will bless you for your charity of time and talent during this busy activity season. Vivat Jesus!

4 St. Francis Men s Ministry Corn Hole Tourney As most of you will have seen in the weekly bulletin, there is an active Men s Ministry here at St. Francis. The theme of the ministry is Men Strive to be Saints, and it s mission is to help men of every generation to strive harder to know Jesus, learn about his mission and teachings, and understand how we are all called daily to accept the Grace of The Holy Spirit in our lives. By doing so we will become better versions of ourselves, and by learning how to give control to Christ, we will actually be empowered by The Holy Spirit to become better husbands, parents, children, siblings, workers, and every other role we play in the world today. We meet weekly at :00 am on Friday s in Assisi Hall. There is a half hour video presentation followed by 20 minutes of small group table talk. We break just in time for 7:00 am Mass or to go about the rest of your Friday. CALLING ALL KNIGHTS! Robert Kidd is in need of Corn Hole Boards and Bags for the first Corn Hole Tournament sponsored by our council. If any of you have a set of Corn Hole Boards and Bags that Robert could borrow between August 22nd - August 29th please let him know via ASAP (robert.s.kidd@gmail.com).
