Message from the Grand Knight
Space is limited this month so my message will be short. For all the Knights who helped care for Fr. Vernon and for all who attended his services and for those who participated in the Holy Rosary we shared with the Legion of Mary, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! A SPECIAL THANKS to the many 4th Degree Knights who elegantly participated at the wake service and at the funeral. You guys are GREAT!! God Bless!! We also received a nice thank you note from Dolores. In your prayers, thank God for giving her the strength and fortitude to care for Father for so many years.
Speaking of helping others, I was just wondering.....if it is true that we here to help others, then what are the others here for?

Pasta Dinner Planned for October 3
Once again, as we did last fall, our Council is planning to serve a delicious pasta dinner. This will be in the STM Social Hall on Friday evening, October 3, beginning at 5:00 PM. We will be looking for your help to make this a success. Plan on attending our September meeting to learn all about it. Meanwhile, tell your family and friends to come and enjoy a great meal on October 3 at St. Thomas More.

Father John Vernon – R.I.P.
In your prayers please remember our Brother Knight and former pastor, Father John Vernon. Father was called to his eternal reward on August 6. Father loved his priesthood and touched many lives during the years of his ministry. He leaves us with a memory of his deep faith in God and his love for the Blessed Mother. May he now rest in peace in his heavenly home.
Corporate Communion
Our fall Corporate Communion will be held on Sunday, October 12th, at the 9:30 AM Mass. After Mass there will be a breakfast in the Social Hall. Please reserve this date for you and your family to attend. We will meet in the school lobby at 9:15 AM and process in as a group to the Mass.
Ministry Fair
St. Thomas More will be hosting a Ministry Fair after the weekend Masses on September 27th and 28th. This will be an opportunity for all parish groups to recruit potential members by setting up a table to represent each of their respective groups. Our Council will be taking advantage of this opportunity to recruit new Knights. If you know of anybody you would like to recruit into our Council, please have him stop by the Knights table at the Ministry Fair and talk to our members.
Entertainment Books
Sales are in progress for the new 2009 edition of the Entertainment Book. As of this writing 18 books have been sold. Thanks to all who have volunteered to help with the sales. Entertainment Books also make great gifts. They can be purchased at the weekend Masses, at the rectory, or by calling Greg Burrows (346-4081).
Life Insurance After Retirement
You’ve worked hard all your life to provide for your family. Did you know that when you retire, you may be losing some or all of your group life insurance coverage? Even if your employer offers extended coverage past retirement, you may not be able to get the level coverage you want or have the flexibility to adjust the coverage to your changing lifestyle. Also, the extended coverage may be expensive since the policy’s premium will be based on your age at retirement rather than your current age. To discuss life insurance coverage that will help take care of your loved ones, call me today!
