Chaplain s Report From Deacon Jacob s discussion. Deacon Jake reminds us on the back of American bills is the motto In GOD We Trust. This motto has been validated throughout history and in our everyday lives. The Israelites exile to and return from Babylon was guided by the motto as GOD continued to watch over them. In our everyday lives, 90% of worries never happen, so remember to Trust in GOD. In Deacon Jake s own experience, he needed a tough old Colonel to cosign a document. While in the elevator preparing to have the letter cosigned, he prayed to his Guardian Angel for intervention. When he got to the Colonel s office he was greeted happily and the Colonel cosigned the letter without hesitation---thank YOU, SIMON. Remember, you too can defer to your Guardian Angel in your time of need. Deacon Jake also reminds us Lent is around the corner and Lent can be an important time to make changes in our health and spiritual life. Lent is a time to attend our Church services while also going to confession. St. Francis will many days for confession and a 2-day workshop during Lent. Luke 15: indicates there is joy in Heaven every time someone repents. Deacon Jake closed with the final reminder to let GOD dispel your worries by Trusting in Him. GOD will never forget you. Page 5

Lecturer s Report Dom Cingoranelli reading from 2 nd Greatest Story Ever Told Our Lady of Fatima: Pope Benedict XV recognized WWI as the suicide of civilized Europe, but ensure the Vatican took no side during the war. His prayer for intervention to Our Mother Mary was his secret weapon against the war. After 8 days of Novena Prayers Our Lady of Fatima appeared on May 13 th with the promise to appear on the 13 th of each month for six months. Through her appearances, she revealed 3 secrets and an overlying message to repent. On July 13 th, Our Lady of Fatima provided a vision of Hell and gave insight as to why Souls go to Hell. She also revealed an even greater war and the coming of Communism. The Oct 13 th account of her apparition, there was steady rain throughout the day but 70 thousand people waited for her appearance. When she appeared, the Sun broke through the clouds, with beams of multi-colored lights and continued to get larger and brighter as everyone broke into prayer. Each apparition provided a reminder of the importance of praying the Rosary. Our Lady of Fatima is attributed to the Divine Intervention needed to ensure Pope John Paul II was not assassinated on May 13, 1981. We are very blessed to have the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima on March 9 th. St. Francis Men s Ministry 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 its 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 6:00 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. We d love to see every Knight participate. All are welcome! For more information see the weekly bulletin or contact one of the core team members of Matt Coyne, Dom Cingoranelli, Mick Harper, Jeff Bennis, Andy Kilman, or Kevin Zink Page 6

Knights of Columbus, Council 8909 Minutes of General Council Meeting January 25, 2017 7:02 pm General Meeting called to order by GK, Cal Weatherly at 7:02 PM. Roll Call of Officers: Advocate, was Absent --- Treasurer and 1 st Year Trustee were Excused Chaplin Report: Deacon Jake readings provided us with a prayer for the deceased and a different approach and understanding of the Beatitudes. Through the Beatitudes Jesus provides a basic template for a happy life. We can substitute Blessed Are with God is With and the meaning / intent remains similar, but the substitution allows us to realize God is With us through all our trials in life---especially when we move through forgiveness of sin and other difficulties of Human Experience. Deacon Jake ask that we discover how the Beatitudes can guide us through a righteous life and to use Blessed Are or God is With as simple prayer preludes when we are confronted with life s difficult moments. November Meeting Minutes: were approved as published. Applications and Admissions: No 1 st degree prior to this meeting, but we are planning a 1 st degree prior to February s meeting. Alex Onda has 4 candidates ready for February s degree with another candidate he is trying to contact. Grand Knight we completed together. Cal has started his 6-month countdown, but is always thanking God for the opportunity for all the hard work Finally, Cal is looking for someone to take over as State Fair Coordinator, Cal believes George N would do a great job; George however seemed a little reluctant, so we still need a new State Fair Coordinator. Cal wanted us to know Supreme Council has a pending lawsuit against them for payment of their website. A letter regarding this lawsuit will be coming from Supreme. We assume a No Comment approach to any lawsuit questions as we currently have no viable information regarding it. Treasurer Report Not Present Excused Financial Secretary Report The following receipts are outstanding: Flying Horse: $1045 - receipt SFA: $94.28 - receipt Epiphany Party: $1120 / $206 receipts from ticket and bar $475 / $836 expenses (short @ $225) Our Game Permit has been renewed.

Refreshments still need to be decided on. American Heritage Girls (AHG) Charter: Cal / Todd reported, our Council and SFA were not successful in the chartering of AHG. Overall the girls did a great job trying to move through the process, their need to be tied directly to religious group with an education system in place and liability issues made the process too difficult for us. The members of AHG are being assimilated into existing groups. Page 10

New Business: Knight Sponsor Rosary Booklets: Gary Kuntz requests our sponsorship for Rosary booklets and went into the history / background of the Rosary booklets. Andy Killman will help with website, Kevin Zink recommended the Rosary website is initially separate from our website, then merge the website when both mature. There will be no cost to the Council, as Mother Mary Ministries provides initial funding. Alex Onda FS insists that the Rosary booklets must be processed through their own bank account. Additionally, the publisher will provide for all packaging and shipping. Finally, all activities associated to the Rosary booklets needs to processed properly and legally through the committee. State / Supreme Councils have given their blessings and we can use our Council number and the K of C logo. The Council will be given a stipend for each sale. Motion for approval was requested given the above stipulations---the motion was accepted and approved.

Arch-Dioceses SAFE Training: New policies from the Arch-Dioceses may have invalidated the SAFE training provided by Deacon Jake. We will setup new training, as needed, once the requirements are fully understood. Page 11

Adventist Hospital: Andy Robinson let us know Adventist Hospital is looking for donations for their Healing Garden. Andy is providing a donation toward a bench and wanted to see if the Council would add to the donation. The bench would be engraved with the K of C logo.

Lecturer Report Dom Cingoranelli reminded us today 1/25 is the Feast of St. Paul conversion. St Paul s conversion should inspire us to a greater conversion in our own religious / spiritual life. Reading from Lesson from St. Benedict provides us with the rules of St. Benedict that can govern our daily lives through various meditations and prayers. These rules can guide us to hold custody over our thoughts and words; help us turn away from grumbling and complaints; pray immediately in the face of annoyances or when speaking with disagreeable persons; guide to make an annual retreat, go to confession often, and to extend God s love. Let us stay determine to St. Benedict s Rules and let s see each other at the Pearly Gates. Grand Knight Prayer Grand Knight, Cal Weatherly invoked the Lord s Prayer.
