1 Knights of Columbus Council 8521 St Joseph Catholic Church - Honey Creek Hwy 46 West Spring Branch TX KC Officers for Grand Knight Rudy Gonzales Deputy Grand Knight Hal B. Lane III Financial Secretary Joe Vocks Chancellor James Sulak Treasurer Terry Temple Recorder Donald Zaiontz Advocate Greg Canfield Warden Matt Wohlfeil Inside Guard Carl Newton Outside Guard Henry Delgado Chaplain Rev. Francis McHugh Trustee 1st Year Michael Merta Trustee 2nd Year Gilbert Alvarado Trustee 3rd Year Max Engel Lecturer Sam Haines The Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, was observed for the first time on Monday; the movable feast is set for the first day following Pentecost. In his homily during Mass at the Casa Santa Marta, Pope Francis said the first virtue of a mom is tenderness. The Church is feminine, Pope Francis said in his homily on Monday, she is a mother. June 2018 Newsletter Pope Francis: The Church, like Mary, is woman and mother By Vatican News When this trait is lacking, the Pope continued, the Church resembles merely a charitable organization, or a football team ; when it is a masculine Church, it sadly becomes a church of old bachelors, incapable of love, incapable of fruitfulness.
2 Pope Francis: The Church, like Mary, is woman and mother That was the reflection offered by Pope Francis during the Mass celebrated in the chapel of the Casa Santa Marta for the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church. The feast is being celebrated this year for the first time, after the publication in March of the decree Ecclesia Mater ( Mother Church ) by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. Pope Francis himself decided the feast should be celebrated on the Monday immediately following Pentecost, in order to encourage the growth of the maternal sense of the Church in the pastors, religious and faithful, as well as a growth of genuine Marian piety. The motherliness of Mary In his homily, Pope Francis said that in the Gospel, Mary is always described as the Mother of Jesus, instead of the Lady or the widow of Joseph : her motherliness is emphasized throughout the Gospels, beginning with the Annunciation. This is a quality that was noted immediately by the Fathers of the Church, a quality that applies also to the Church.
3 Pope Francis: The Church, like Mary, is woman and mother The Church is feminine, because it is church and bride [both grammatically feminine]: it is feminine. And she is mother; she gives life. Bride and Mother. And the Fathers go further and say that even your soul is the bride of Christ and mother. And it is with this attitude that comes from Mary, who is Mother of the Church, with this attitude we can understand this feminine dimension of the Church, which, when it is not there, the Church loses its identity and becomes a charitable organization or a football team, or whatever, but not the Church. No to a Church of old bachelors Only a feminine Church will be able to have fruitful attitudes, in accordance with the intention of God, who chose to be born of a woman in order to teach us the path of woman.
4 Pope Francis: The Church, like Mary, is woman and mother The important thing is that the Church be a woman, that has this attitude of a bride and of a mother. When we forget this, it is a masculine Church. Without this dimension, it sadly becomes a church of old bachelors, who live in this isolation, incapable of love, incapable of fecundity. Without the woman, the Church does not advance because she is a woman. And this attitude of woman comes from Mary, because Jesus willed it so. The tenderness of a mom The virtue that primarily distinguishes a woman, Pope Francis said, is tenderness, like the tenderness of Mary, when she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger. She cared for Him, with meekness and humility, which are the great virtues of mothers. A Church that is a mother goes along the path of tenderness. It knows the language of such wisdom of caresses, of silence, of the gaze that knows compassion, that knows silent. It is, too, a soul, a person who lives out this way of being a member of the Church, knowing that he or she is [like] a mother [and] must go along the same path: a person [who is] gentle, tender, smiling, full of love.
5 Brother Knights A Message from our Worthy Grand Knight As I write my last message for our monthly newsletter, I can't help but look back at the past two years and how much our council has accomplished. There are so many of you I need to thank for your guidance, support and for stepping up when the council needed you. I have always felt a sense of pride being your Grand Knight and can honestly say we have one of the best councils in Texas. Our membership is over two hundred strong and we are gaining new knights each month. Our Golf Tournament has reached new heights and is attracting more sponsors. The fish fries are enjoyed by so many parishioners and many out of town guests. Our dances are becoming a hit and St. John Hall has turned into a great venue. Our principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism have never been stronger. A huge thanks to all of our significant others who have also supported us and even volunteered to help with many of our events. As I turn over the gavel to my successor, my wish for our council and the new board is that we continue to experience unending success. I pray we will be fulfilled in all we do as we continue to give generously to our ministries and charities as well as our community needs. "Dear Lord, as we rise to meet each new day, please let us be filled with Your Holy Spirit. Wherever we go, let us spread love, joy, peace, goodness and faithfulness. Let us desire to become more like You and to worship You in all that we do. All this we ask in Your most precious name." Amen! Viva Cristo Rey Grand Knight, Rudy Gonzales
6 Craft Beer and Catholic Teaching: Drink Up, Gents By Mr. Max Milan What s the deal with craft beer? Why does everyone suddenly love craft beer? How can it be that in 1978, there were 89 breweries in the US, but now, there are over 5,300? Why are microbreweries, craft beer companies, and brewpubs opening left and right? Why has production by US microbreweries seen an increase of more than 500% since 2004 [1]? And why does every male craft brew enthusiast have a beard? Okay, I m not too sure about the beard question, but to the others, the short answer is: because beer is good; and because beer brewed by someone with whom you can speak, someone who enjoys meeting the people for whom they brew, is even better. A somewhat more longwinded answer to these questions is, in my opinion, the economic theory called distributism and the subconscious longing that people have for it.
7 Craft Beer and Catholic Teaching: Drink Up, Gents A somewhat more longwinded answer to these questions is, in my opinion, the economic theory called distributism and the subconscious longing that people have for it. Now before anyone falls asleep or remembers some nightmarish ECON class they had in college, let me assure you that I ll make this very light, and I think you ll find it more interesting than you may predict. First of all, I like distributism because it is explicitly based on Catholic Social Teaching and was advocated by folks like Pope Leo XIII, Pope Saint John Paul II, Hilaire Belloc, and G.K. Chesterton. Distributism places emphasis on people as individuals within a community and opposes the lack of freedom present in socialism and the heavy burden imposed on the laboring class resulting from unbridled capitalism.
8 Craft Beer and Catholic Teaching: Drink Up, Gents Now, just a brief overview of distributism: in this system, property ownership is a fun- damental right, and the means of production should be spread as widely as possible rather than under the control of either the state or a few individuals or corporations. Distributism promotes a society of artisans and is influenced by an emphasis on small business, promotion of local culture, and favoring small production over capitalistic mass production. If I were to say that sentence out loud in a brewpub full of people with beards drinking craft beer, I dare say I would get shouts of affirmation and agreement in reply. That s because this is the type of society people long for. The one theme of the seven encompassing Catholic Social Teaching that I think is the most applicable here is called solidarity which underscores the unity found in a community of people dependent upon one another. To be in solidarity with others is to share in their experiences, to care about them, and to recognize their dignity as people and children of God. It suggests that one s own good is not independent of the welfare of their neighbor and of their community. This emphasis on the community and local culture is objectively good and expresses in an ordered way God s commandment to love one another.
9 Craft Beer and Catholic Teaching: Drink Up, Gents Theoretically, a distributist system built upon the foundation of neighborly solidarity (and, of course, augmented by craft beer) would be the type of society that people are realizing is more appealing than one based on impersonal consumer capitalism. By purchasing products from people who live in the same neighborhood, one is extending the Christian ideal of loving one s neighbors to the economic environment. So how is all of this related to beer? Well, in my opinion, people are yearning for this type of distributist system whether they realize it or not, and I think that this desire is manifesting itself through the craft beer industry (among others). Many people, the younger crowd especially, are relinquishing the American adjunct lagers made by macrobreweries like Bud, Miller, Coors, and all the rest. They re leaving behind these beers and flocking to their local microbreweries and brewpubs. I think they re doing this for a more significant reason than the fact that craft beer tastes better than light lagers. They re doing it because they have figured out that being handed a freshly brewed beer from the person who made it is more fulfilling than pounding back a Keystone Light. They ve tapped into (pun intended) the hard work of an artisan who cares about the product he or she is producing. They ve figured out that there is an actual person behind the product and that the consumption of goods doesn t have to be impersonal.
10 Craft Beer and Catholic Teaching: Drink Up, Gents The same goes for the brewer; sure, every business person needs to be profitable, but what I see with most craft breweries is that they start as enthusiastic homebrewers who get into the trade because they appreciate excellent beer and care what people think about what they make. Another essential point of distributism suggests that craftsmen should not be alienated from their work. It is beneficial for a manufacturer to see the fruits of their labor, to be able to take pride in what they have made and feel that they are a worthwhile member of society. In this context, drinking a craft beer is not merely about drinking it. Granted, craft beers are meant to be drunk and are crafted to be the best that they can be, but the experience of a having a craft beer is not entirely about the taste. When combined with a distributist attitude toward economics and a sprinkling of Catholic morality, drinking a craft beer becomes an experience of a communion of sorts. This is not to say that beer itself brings about this fellowship it is merely a commodity. However, I think that the interactions and experiences centered around craft beer can bring people together in a healthy way, the way members of a community are called to substantiate the love of Christ among themselves and between each other.
11 Craft Beer and Catholic Teaching: Drink Up, Gents So, the next time you find yourself sampling the newest test batch at a local brewery or out for drinks and laughs with some friends at your neighborhood brewpub, look around, notice what is going on around you, and bear witness to the unspoken desire to seek God through the manifestation of the love of neighbor described by distributism in the world of craft beer.

18 Recommended Books for Men At first glance, Ardy Roberto s Real Men Are POGI is obviously written for men. With its tag line below it, How to be Handsome in God s Eyes so You can be Ready for your God s best, it serves as a man s handbook guide for Christian living. But no book lying on our living room table would be spared from my book-hungry eyes. Once I sat down flipping through page one, this bookworm enters a heart-to-heart talk for real men.
19 Insurance Q & A Do I need life insurance? Yes, the chances are you do need life insurance, whether it s for paying funeral expenses, replacing income, providing money for your child s education, protecting your home or many other reasons. Unfortunately, too many people don t know the value of a life insurance policy and go without any or adequate coverage. Is the Knights of Columbus financially strong? Yes. The Order is one of the strongest organizations from which you can purchase insurance, as assessments by independent evaluators consistently show. Our margin of safety is among the best in the industry. The Knights of Columbus annually receives the highest ratings given by the A.M. Best Company and Standard & Poor s. What exactly are dividends? Dividends are the divisible surplus the Order has left over after paying expenses and setting aside the necessary amounts to assure that future benefits are fully funded. Dividends develop from favorable experience, such as people living longer than expected or from interest earnings higher than those guaranteed in their policy. Remember, the payment of dividends cannot be guaranteed. If I have questions about my insurance policy, or have an interest in learning more about the products the Order offers, whom should I ask? Your professional Knights of Columbus agent can answer any questions you may have. Even if you are not currently a policyholder, a field agent, who is also a brother Knight is available to meet with you at your convenience the needs of you and your family. To identify your agent, call KOFC ( ).
