2 St Pius St X Pius Council X Council My worthy brother Knights, When you look into a mirror, you see an accurate depiction, or rather reflection of your actual outer self; in other words you see your physical body. This is also what someone else sees when they look at you. What we do not see is the inner reflection of your soul, your inner being, the true you. What you see is guided by your life experiences which may have created possible prejudices, biases, contempt for different ideas, or a love of fellow brothers, the desire to serve those who are most needy, the desire to work in unity, the pure desire to walk in the footsteps of our Lord. Our perceptions lead us to assumptions which do not reflect what we see or even what is reality. It is difficult to see the real person in front of you. Your passions may lead to wrong assumptions. So the moral in this is, do not act on what you assume but rather, before making either a negative or positive judgment of the person you see, on what you learn about that person, get to know him, speak with him in a meaningful manner and learn what drives him, what sort of person he is. Treat him as your respected brother. Follow the tenets of our illustrious Order, starting with Charity Our Catholic faith teaches us to Love thy neighbor as thyself. Show love and compassion when Meeting / Event Date Time Location Council Breakfast 1st Wednesday of every 9:15 AM after morning Mass Happy Rooster, 1114 S Sarnoff Dr, Tucson, AZ st Degree or Degree Team Practice (Candidates report at 7:00 P.M.) Business Meeting Officer Meeting Business Meeting Council Family Potluck Social 1st Thursday of every 2nd Thursday of every 4th Thursday of every 5th Thursday of the making judgments. Our faith in God compels our actions. Unity None of us is as good as all of us together. We stick together and support one another. This does not mean that we always agree or that there is never a difference of opinion. It does mean that as a Knight of Columbus, you can count on the support, kind advice and encouragement of your brother Knights. Fraternity we watch out for and take care of one another in a fraternal circle of family. Finally, Patriotism we are proud of our devotion to God and country and believe in standing up for both. We revel in the strength of our diversity. As Knights, we remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst their greatest citizens. In the final analysis of our lives, our steadfast adherence to our Catholic Faith and our Order will be judged by God as we face Him before the Pearly Gates; will He greet us with well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of your Lord, or not. As your Grand Knight, I am proud of all of you and am positive you will be greeted with His love. Vivat Jesus Your fraternal brother in Christ, Emmanuel M. Dutch Steenbakker, Grand Knight 7:30 P.M.

3 Protecting Your Family Business? You already know that the Knight of Columbus is here for all your personal and family financial protection needs, but did you know that the Order can help secure your business too? As your Knights of Columbus field agent, I can help you protect the continuity of your business for years to come. Business insurance is the term used in the insurance industry to describe the use of life insurance and disability income insurance to solve certain financial needs of businesses and their owners. The products offered through the Order can cover many needs, such as: Economic loss to the business when a key employee dies Disposition of a business owner s interest upon death or other separation from the business If you ve worked hard to establish a business, you owe it to yourself and your family to learn about the opportunities that the Knights of Columbus can offer. With protection for the family, the business, the farm, retirement, long term care and disability coverage, the Knight of Columbus truly is your shield for all the elements of your life.

6 St Pius X Council GK Dutch Steenbakker May 2016 SPECIAL OLYMPICS TRACK AND FIELD This year s Coronado Area Special Olympics Track and Field Event head at Amphi HS on April 9th included over 500 Olympian Athletes and 500 Volunteers. As the sponsor and volunteer organization were announced, the St Pius X Knights of Columbus was acknowledged along with members from the Santa Cruz Council and the St Rita Council as well. St Pius X Council had 13 members that amounted to 65 hours of volunteer support towards this great cause. The addition of Santa Cruz and St Rita s showed we are starting to get more awareness of the Special Olympics efforts worldwide. I publicly thank the volunteers and their families who join them to help. They Included: Ron Blanchard and His Daughter Kathleen Al Velosa and his son Al and daughters Arianna and Anastasia (The Boss) Joe Keaney Dick Goddard Joe Flocco an his lovely wife Fran Edward Young Jim Nicklaus This event is the official last event for the Coronado Area but things get started up quite quickly for the start of their new year. There are many out of town events for the state as well as various fundraisers that are taking place as well. For more information on those events you can go to : You will be surprised at the variety of events and how athletic these Olympians truly are. Join us for an Experience of a Lifetime. Page 5
