Columbian Year 2018 – 2019 Issue 4 October 2018

Brother Knights:

My Brothers we are in the fall season. Leaves are turning,

temperature is dropping and it is that time of the year we

start looking at preparing our homes for the winter time. If

you haven’t yet, here is a site you might want to check out:

https://www.thespruce.com/easy-home-winterizing-

checklist-1824721? (Just copy and paste)

Last month issue we didn’t post the Knight and/or Family of

the Month so that is why you see them in this month’s

issue. When you see them about , congratulate them. They

have deserved this recognition. The Chili Cook-Off sched-

uled for October 20th had to be cancelled due to unfore-

seen circumstances. We will look at this next year. Howev-

er, the Kids for Coast Program will go on in a modified way.

We will start collecting used serviceable coats, scarves , hats

and gloves. We will have them cleaned and passed out be-

fore Thanksgiving. We are also asking for Donations to pur-

chase new coats and to help defray costs of cleaning those

turned in. Please give generously to this worthwhile cause.

More information to follow. Beginning in October, we will

be praying the rosary 30 minutes before the Saturday and

Sunday Mass. This program is open to all. It will be led on

most occasions by the Knights and others. Please join us.

See the Parish Bulletin Board for more information. Bishop

Knestout will be visiting our parish Friday, October 5th.. You

are cordially invited to a Mass of Atonement for all area

parishes at OLPH at 7:30 pm.

Brother Houston Doug Jessee has volunteered to assist

Chaplin Barry at the VA Medical Chapel as his EMHC and /

or altar server as needed on Wednesday Mass at 11:30 and

Sunday Mass at 12:00 pm. Thank you Doug for all you do.

May the Lord protect you and Bless you. Dave

ONE MEMBER, PER COUNCIL, PER MONTH

Most recently the Knights have

energized a push to recite the St

Michael Prayer after Mass. The

Congregation has been providing

favorable feedback and wishes for

this to be permanent. The Olive

Branch has the Prayer Card for

Sale as of this writing. Pick yours

up today and carry it with you..

The Community Life Ministry is in need of volunteers to help

make coffee, beverages and sometimes serve pastry’s after

the 10:30 Mass on Sunday on a rotating Schedule. This can

be an individual and/or couples who will set up and another

clean up after Mass. This service allows time for fellowship

amongst us and is a very important Ministry within our Par-

ish. This ministry cannot continually function with just a

few. Please step up and help. Contact Pat Wyble at 529-

4994.

At the time of this newsletter we tentatively have a Food Drive Planned for

Saturday November 10, 2018 from 9 am - 2 pm at the following locations:

Wal-Mart Main Street and Kroger Spartan Square.

We need volunteers. Contact Roger Boucher at joannboucher@hotmail.com indicating

the shift hours you wish to volunteer to work (9-11, 11—1, 12—2pm) and preferred store

Three months until the 2019 March for Life!

On Jan.18, 2019, we will gather in Washington, D.C., to stand up for the protection of all life.

Saving lives and promoting a culture of life is why the March for Life happens each year.

Help us speak up for the rights of all babies and moms by being part of this effort — on

both a national level and at a local level throughout the entire year

How many of our Knights and family members are planning on going? We will have a bus

departing on January 18th in the early morning and returning that evening. Will you join us?

More information will be forthcoming in the next few months.

Squires, Parents, and Counsellors,

At our last meeting we agreed that we wanted to help out the Salem Parks and Rec with the Half-Marathon again this year on Oct. 13. They need Course Marshalls. It is the same routine as the last couple of years. We go out early in the morning (7:30 or 8:00 am), set up a station to direct traffic, and then keep the runners safe during the race. We are usually finished around noon or so. This is a great event for fundraising in our local community and our volunteering is always greatly appre-ciated.

If you are available to help out the morning of Oct 13, then please respond to this

email ASAP. HeffronJared@gmail.com

1. Give me the names of everyone who can participate (parents and sibling are more than welcome. As well as any Knights who would want to assist.

2. Also indicate your age if under 18 (I already have this info, but you'll save me

the trouble of looking it up)

3. Indicate your T-shirt size

Top Selling eGift Cards and Plastic Gift Cards Purchase the brands our customers love to give.

Do you drink coffee, go out to eat, buy apps or music, shop online or just stop by Walmart after Mass to pick up a few things? Then you can help our Knights of Columbus council provide monetary and moral support for seminarians, like Kevin Reidel who was here this past summer and other postulants who are preparing for the priesthood or religious life. Choose from over 750 participating retailers, including Walmart, by ordering gift cards from the Knights. Stop by their table in the Commons for more information.

It's back to school! Why not use a gift card and save?

Shown above are just a few examples. We can get whatever gift cards you need just in time for the holidays! Remember that these gift cards are available all year round, not just during holidays. Contact Nathan Johnson or Dave Wyble for more information or to pur-chase. Your gift card purchases help to support our seminarians.
