Grand Knight’s Message
We had a successful October with a great turnout for our Spaghetti Dinner & "Meet & Greet" night at the new Parish Center. A special thanks to Steve LaGreca and Tony Romero for all there work on both of those events. We had 3 potential new members come to the "Meet & Greet , that's great, however we still need to find some additional new members to join our council. I would like to challenge each one of you to find a new member this year. Don't forget our Christmas Potluck dinner on December 2nd and the Blood Drive on December 7th.
See you soon,
Tim Lammers, Grand Knight
RING TOSS AT THE FESTIVAL
The ring toss at St. Cecilia Festival went very well. Business was good, of course the weather being fine, helped. Thanks to Brother Knight Tom Werner for making our booth so we could use it. And thanks to all that helped run the booth, Jack Arkfeld, Tom Werner, Dick Satifroff, Joe Schuster, John Blaiotta, Joe Saniuk, Mike O’Conner, and Pete Larson and several Cathedral students.
This year we charged, ten cents a ring, which also helped. So we totaled:
12 – 2 2 – 4 4 – 6
946 576 820 = 2342 Divided by $0.25 = $585.50 Pete Larson Chairman.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS LIFE INSURANCE
Buying life insurance is something that’s easy to put off until tomorrow. And if your life is as busy as mine, tomorrow can easily become next week, next month, or even next year. I’d like to make a personal plea that you not make that mistake. Before this Fall is over, make an appointment to visit with me, your professional Knights of Columbus agent. I’ll work with you to put a plan in place that will help your family when that help is most needed.
We all know someone whose health, instantly and seemingly out-of-the-blue, changes. You may think this can’t happen to you. Think again. And keep in mind that no one will ring a bell warning you that your health is about to change. Medical technology has turned many diseases previously termed “death sentences” into very treatable conditions. What medical advances haven’t changed, however, is that being diagnosed with one of these diseases will dramatically affect your ability to purchase life insurance coverage. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call me today.
Your Knights of Columbus insurance program is second to none. Knights of Columbus life insurance represents a safety net for Catholic families that’s unsurpassed, and we’re proud of that. We’re also concerned. Why? Because there are many Knights of Columbus members who have no life insurance with us. I suspect that, for many of those members, tomorrow has become next week, next month or next year. Don’t be one of them. Don’t wait for the bell to ring. It isn’t going to.

ANNUAL MEMENTO MORI MASS
Our annual Memento Mori Mass will be held at Boys Town Chapel on November 1, 5:30 p.m. This year we will be honoring three brother knights that have passed away in the last year.
John E. North 05/06/08,
Past Financial Secretary, Richard F. Vrchlavsky 02/18/08
and Brother Andrew Sorensen O.S.B. 11/03/07.
Please try and attend this Mass and pray for our departed brothers.
Corporate Communion
On May 21 we will gather to celebrate Mass at Saint St. Cecilia Cathedral at 9:30 A.M. on November 9th. The Eucharist was both defined as the Sacrament of unity and the Sacrament of Assembly. Let the grace of this Holy Communion make us one body, one spirit in Christ, that we may worthily serve our Church, our Community and our Country in his name.
We will sit in the first few pews in church. Hope to see many of you there.
AN ELECTION PRAYER
Heavenly Father you call all your children to live in freedom. You accomplish this by giving us all a cooperative sprit of care and concern for each other and the ability to know what is best for our own spiritual and temporal lives. In our upcoming election despite he failure of our American press, make clear in the minds of voters the true intention of all politicians. Give us pro-life leaders who will defend the lives of the innocent and work to provide the basic goods of life for all our citizens through passing laws that create opportunities for personal freedom of religion, economic opportunity for all who need work and a fair and just tax system in federal, state and local communities. May our election be protected from fraud and abuse so that all may feel they have done their part in participating in democracy’s cause.
Holy Mary, Mother of the Americas, pray for our nation that it would become worthy to live in peace and harmony with all other nations. Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE FOLLOWING MEMBERS
Brother Bruce Birge, Joseph Troia Father of Brother John Troia, Brother Fred Ferraro, Christine Worthing Wife of Brother Joseph Worthing and Velma Timmerman, Brother Frank Niemeyer’s Grandmother who passed away on March 18, 2008.
