1 St Pius St X Pius Council X Council GK Tony Pennisi Brothers, Greetings from Maine! I hope all is well. I wish to thank Grant, our previous Grand Knight, for his service as Grand Knight and Deputy Grand Knight. In addition, I wish to thank all our previous Grand Knights for their service. We shall continue to build our council per their legacy. This year, in addition to our many services, we shall focus on the youth of our parish, and work at increasing our membership. We will team with the parish youth ministry and increase our membership drives. Please review your June / July Knightline as it relates to our new model that we will follow called Faith in Action. Faith In Action arrives July 1 to bring a new focus on faith, family, community and life to councils worldwide. The first change of this kind since 1971, the model more fully integrates Christ-centered family programs into daily council activities. Faith In Action is straightforward and easy to implement. It provides all Knights the opportunity to do what they do best: stand shoulder to shoulder as a force for good in their home, parish, community July 2018 and the world. The model is divided into four categories of programs: Faith, Family, Community and Life. Supreme recommends eight programs for each category, 32 programs in total. Recommendations: Faith: Refund Support Vocations Program (RSVP) Into the Breach Marian Icon Prayer Program Building the Domestic church Kiosk Rosary Program Spiritual Reflection Program Holy Hour Sacramental Gifts Community: Coats for Kids Global Wheelchair Mission Habitat for Humanity Disaster Preparedness Free Throw championship Catholic Citizenship Essay contest Soccer challenge Helping Hands Continued on page 3 Meeting / Event Date Time Location Council Fraternal Breakfast 1st Wednesday of every 9:15 AM after morning Mass POCO & MOM S Cantina, 7000 E Tanque Verde, st Degree or Degree 1st Thursday of every 7:30 P.M.

2 Prayer INTENTIONS A Prayer for Healing... Dear God, we place our worries in Your hands. We place our sick in Your care and humbly ask that You restore Your servants to health again. Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge Your holy will and know that whatever You do, You do for the love of us. Amen.

4 Our Guarantees Set Us Apart Knights of Columbus life insurance offers something precious few other financial products can guarantees. As long as you pay your premiums, the policy proceeds will be there for your beneficiaries should something happen to you. That s peace of mind, and that s what we offer with every product in our portfolio. We guarantee the cash value in your whole life policies will be there. We guarantee the rates on your term insurance. We guarantee our retirement products will provide a stream of income when you need it. On top of those product guarantees, I guarantee that I will offer professional, high-quality service that you would expect from our organization. Our Order is among the highest rated life insurers in North America. AM Best has rated the Knights of Columbus A++, Superior for 39 consecutive years. It s a testament to our track record for excellence and security. I would suggest that a principal reason that we were able to achieve those accolades is because we remain steadfastly committed to the vision of Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney by providing life insurance by brother Knights for brother Knights. That commitment is an essential core value of the Knights of Columbus, and our core values permeate all levels of our organization. We pledge to serve our brother Knights, and their families, according to our Golden Rule: In all my professional relationships, I pledge myself to the following rule of conduct: I shall, in light of all conditions surrounding those I serve, render that service which, under the same circumstances, I would apply to myself. Let s talk soon to discuss how our products can bring that peace of mind to you and your family. Tony LoMonaco, FICF (520) anthony.lomonaco@kofc.org Page 4
