Christmas Social 3 Veteran s Day Snack Schedule Assembly Prayer 4 Recruiting 5 Dues & Survey Officers 6 Our assembly was busy for the month of December. I hope everyone had a good time at our Christmas party at Casa Garcia s restaurant. Our Christmas party committee members always do a great job for our assembly. I would like to thank all of the Sir Knights that fell out this month. We had a fall outs at St. John Neumann parish for the Our Lady of Guadalupe mass, St. Louis parish, St. Paul parish, St. Catherine of Siena parish, St Albert the Great parish for the Simbang Gabi masses and St. Mary s Cathedral for the Christmas midnight mass. We also had a fallout for SK Ignacio Camarillo. SK Ignacio passed away on December 21st. Please keep him and his family in your prayers I would like to remind all Sir Knights that you do not need full regalia to fall out. A Sir Knight may fallout in their tuxedo with the social baldric. We are blessed to have our Color Corp Commanders lead us in the fall outs. At each of the events, the Knights of Columbus were recognized for falling out. For the month of January, we will have a opportunity to fund raise. Fun Cheer will have a cheer leading competition on Sunday, January 18, 2015 at St. Mary s University,1 Camino Santa Maria, Bill Greehey Arena in San Antonio, TX. The event will take place between 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM (CST). This fund raiser allows our assembly to donate to our seminarian, to donate to golf tournaments and to help pay for some of the costs for Christmas party. Please volunteer for the event. We will need about 12 people to volunteer. Please remember that your spouse can help us with this event. Some of the diocesan wide events occurring in January will be the major degree in Lockhart, TX on January 10, 2015, Martin Luther King, Jr. Diocesan mass on January 18,2015 and the Texas Catholic Pro-Life day on January 24, 2015.

As 2014 has come to an end it is time to reflect on the things that we have done and have not done, and think about re-making ourselves for 2015. Please continue to be the outstanding men that you are with your family, friends...and most importantly, with your Savior, Jesus Christ. Think about something new that you can start (or re-start!) in 2015 that will bring closer to our Lord and Savior and our Faith Community, and then watch for the great things that the Lord will bless you with! Thanks for your hard work in 2014 in support of our Assembly and note that the Fun Cheer events are starting up again this month, so remember to RSVP and come out to these events, as they are only means of significant fundraising, that helps us sponsor seminarians and our clery and our charitable activities.

Page 5 Hail, Holy Queen Prayer This will be the new prayer after all Fallouts so please say it often so you can recite it from memory. Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God... that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
