“Iron is sharpened by iron; one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17

As I write this le er for the August Edi on of the Navigator, a few weeks into my tenure as Grand Knight (GK), I con nue to be blessed to work with this truly amazing council. As GK one of my top priori es is to make contact with every knight including the widows of our brothers gone to see our Lord and our brothers that I haven’t met or don’t see too o en at our events and mee ngs. So far I’ve heard and read some amazing stories about how our council served our parish community for the past 50 years. We helped infirm knights and widows clean around their home or run errands. We did whatever it took to honor those who needed a hand. I’ve heard inspiring stories of elder statesmen and brother knights, s ll ac ve in the council, who were ac vely involved in the parish, the school, Boy Scouts and publishing this newsle er some 20 years ago!

One of the most inspiring responses I received a er a recent round of emails was from our Worthy Brother Knight Ryan O’Brien. Brother Ryan, a hero from the greatest genera on, received the highest medal given by the French government, the “Legion of Honor”, 74 years a er his service in WWII. Look forward to a future interview in the Navigator. Congratula ons and thank you Brother Ryan for your service to our county. Words cannot express enough the gra tude we have for your service!

I’m amazed at what I’ve learned about our council knights simply by picking up the phone and calling or sending an email to get updated informa on. I can already tell serving as your Grand Knight is going to be a huge blessing for me, thank you for this opportunity!

Keeping in that same light, our first officer mee ng was held on a very hot Thursday evening, July 19th. Nearly every officer, program director and chairs were there to discuss the coming ini a ves you will read about in this edi on of the Navigator. We are busy planning our membership drives, blood drive and pancake breakfast, golf tournament, health service ministry and more. Trust me we are on the same page! So hopefully you won’t get another marathon August mee ng!

To improve communica ons we discussed the new “Call-Em -All” so ware service that will reach everyone especially those without email by using a robo-dialer to announce important council messages or ac vi es. This so ware has a text func on that will help engage with our less ac ve Knights to keep them aware of council ac vi es and encourage them to get involved.

You may also recall soon a er our July mee ng I solicited interest to par cipate in an adhoc commi ee to update our council policy and procedures. The Policy and Procedure Commi ee co-Chairmen are DGK Pat Miles and Worthy Advocate SK Walt Schaff. They will present recommenda ons for policy updates from social media use, communica ons, Pay-Pal, Safe Environment and more during the general mee ngs. If you would like to be part of this commi ee please contact me.

Finally, we’re presen ng you this edi on of the navigator in a new format. I hope you enjoy it. This graphic design is Brother Andrew Cunha’s crea ve vision and he’s done an amazing job adding his flair and crea vity! If you have any comments about the new format, good or bad, please share your opinion us! We want this publica on to be current, viable and most importantly fun to read! Remember our verse for the year is Proverbs 27:17. Read it, live it!

Call-em-all

By GK Mike Ochoa

Included in this year’s budget, our council invested in a yearly subscrip on to an secure So ware Service called call-em-all. This service is a communica on tool to allow for the council to send appointment reminders, mass tex ng and group Robo Calls that “We” the council leadership record in our own voice. We did this because we learned a er making the hundreds of calls to our council to solicit a endance to our 50th Anniversary in May that we lack the man power and me, even under the best of intenons, to exercise an effec ve and immediate phone tree! Please know, this applica on will not replace the personal contact needed to be made by uour council Reten on Commi ee. DGK is leading that effort. But, it will help in valida ng the accuracy of the numbers we have on file and enable the council to quickly send out informa on to our brother knights whom may not receive email regularly. We only signed up for 50 numbers to contact per month so we’ve broken the council into 3 groups, “Council Officers and Directors”, “Inac ve Knights” and “Knights without email”. If you have received a call from this service please know we’ve iden fied you as a member of one of more of these groups.

Our inten on is to rotate the list of “inac ve” knights each month or every other month, to allow for many of our brother Knights we don’t see at our mee ngs or events to learn what the council is up to. Please know if you do not want to receive these calls and you get one, there is an easy opt out func on to select to mark your record.

Faith in Action -District Deputy message

By District Deputy John Brennan

Change is difficult. Usually because we’re comfortable where we’re at in life and what we’ve been doing. You may understand that the change is for the be er, but you s ll want to resist. Taking that first step seems so hard! But wait, this change within the Knights of Columbus is about our FAITH! Our Faith hasn’t changed, but how we prac ce it as the Men’s Fraternal Organiza on that we are, has. We, as Knights, are leaders of our parish and our community. Let’s not be seen as only as the men who prepare breakfasts and hand out Tootsie Rolls, but also as men who prac ce our Faith in Ac on. The new Faith Director in your Council will need help coordina ng the new ac vi es in your Council’s Faith Program and he will need your par cipa on. Here are a couple of ac vi es that are likely to occur in your Council that you can be involved in: 1.

Spiritual Reflec on Program - With assistance from your Council Chaplain, your Faith Director can offer opportuni es for prayer and reflec on together as a fraternity. This could occur through par cipa on in a retreat or a day of prayer and reflecon. If you have not a ended a spiritual retreat, or not one recently, it is a wonderful way to rejuvenate your faith.

2.

Holy Hour Program - This program is intended to encourage a deep personal encounter with God through a regularly scheduled Eucharis c Adora on. The Holy Hour could include a reflec on, a communal Rosary, intercessory prayers by Venerable Fr. Michael J. McGiovney, or other spiritual ac ons.

3.

Rosary Program - What be er way to lead our family in faith than to lead our family in praying the Rosary. Promo ng a Family Rosary Program, offering rosary rings and rosary prayer guides, will strengthen the whole family in faith.

4.

RSVP - The Refund Support Voca ons Program is a featured program in the Faith category and counts for two credits towards your Council’s Columbian Award requirements. This program is your way to financially support a seminarian or religious aspirant in their studies and educa on. In addi on to your financial support, your moral support and prayers for their success are also vital to this program. Send them encouraging notes, le ers, and emails.

There are many other ways we can put our Faith into Ac on. Today is the day to make the commitment to embrace this change the Knights of Columbus are making. Remember, we are Catholics first and we are called to evangelize. As Knights of Columbus, we are looked to as leaders in our Church and we are called to lead others in our Faith. This change is exci ng and life changing. This program offers so much more back to you than you could ever put in.

Vivat Jesus!

“Iron is sharpened by iron; one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17

By: Brother Andrew Cunha

Cursillo (short course in Chris anity) is a movement within the church that supports our walk of faith through a simple method (Piety, Study and Acon). The format includes a 3-day weekend filled with learning, growth, fellowship, and worship. It is a prac cal and remarkable experience!

It is different from other retreats, in that, the weekend doesn’t end on Sunday but con nues throughout the life of the “Cursillista” as described by the term “4th day” or the rest of your life. There are group/ friendship reunions held weekly or monthly where everyone supports your faith journey. The 4th day is focused on PRAYER, STUDY and ACTION. Cursillo has touched the life of millions of Catholics worldwide and has also been established by other faiths and organiza ons such as Catholic High Schools (Kairos), Marriage Encounter and many others. It is more than a movement; it is a lifestyle and greater commitment to our faith. There is a growing and vibrant community within the Sacramento diocese for both men and women.

Many council brothers have lived their weekend and con nue living their 4th day in their group mee ngs. Cursillo will help you with your prayer life and study. You are already preforming great ac on by the good works you do with the Knights of Columbus. I lived my weekend in 2015. I was on team 2017 where I meet Michael Ochoa. Because of Michael and my 4th day group, I became a Knight. I am on Team again this year, and I hope to see you.

Cursillo started in Spain in the 1940’s and, today, is a worldwide movement. The movement is recognized by the Pope as member of the Interna onal Catholic Organiza ons of the Pon fical Council for the Laity in Rome.

The Cursillo is supported by the Roman Catholic Church. It is joined to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Sacramento diocese.

For online informa on and registra on go to h p://www.sacramentocursillo.org or contact Denny Shunta at precursillo@sacramentocursillo.org or 916-952.4502.

Join us this fall for the next Men’s Weekend September 28-30 Jesuit Retreat Center, Applegate, CA

Our council is making great progress with our newly established Health Services Ministry and in an effort to keep everyone informed, please take a moment to read about the latest developments and what we are planning on next.

For starters, we are very pleased that so many people are coming forward and volunteering their me to help us plan and strategize before we implement the upcoming California CareForce for the 8th annual FREE clinic on September 21-23 which will be set up at the Cal Expo Fairgrounds in Sacramento. Then we will try to round up any volunteers willing to travel by plane to Thermal California for the “Oasis Health Clinic.” This will be September 28 – September 30th. We are looking for Pilots, Medical and Non-medical volunteers. Both of these health clinics are vital to their respec ve communi es. In Thermal where many migrant farm workers and families live, they cannot afford to miss work to seek health services during the week and that is IF they have health insurance. In Sacramento, many homeless and low-income families have no means of ge ng health and medical check-up and services, let alone receive dental care or receive an eye examina on – well these are just a few of the services we will render upon volunteering.

Can’t volunteer due to life’s challenges? No problem! You can help in other ways. We are collec ng used pairs of glasses that are no longer of any use to you. Trust me on this one….your old discarded pair of glasses could mean the world to someone without. Anything from readers to prescrip on to bi-focal glasses….we will happily take them and put them to good use. In 2019, we will plan an interna onal trip to either Guatemala or Hai . This is s ll in the planning stages. This wraps up the local, state, and interna onal ambi ons.

Switching gears to our local Parish, we are excited to focus on our local parishioners and how we can be of help during medical emergencies and to the overall promo on of one’s health and well-being. Under the direc on of Br. Tom Sweeney, we will meet with Fr. Basarte and discuss the purchase of an AED and how to train others for its use in the event of an emergency during or a er Mass. Tom is already part of a safety commi ee aimed at keeping us safe when we a end Mass, and adding a medical component to the safety por on makes perfect sense and will further promote collabora on between mul ple ministries ed with our local Fair Oaks Knights Council and Parish. Be on the lookout for further communica on from Tom as the next safety mee ng will be held at the Parish Center on Aug 9th.

Feel free to contact either Tom or myself for further details.

Thank you, Mark Swink 916-996-8601

Congratulations to New Deacon, Jack Roland!

By Jenni Murray

St. Mel Parish rejoiced in Saturday June 30, 2018, as one of our own parishioners, Jack Roland, was among 27 men ordained to the Permanent Diaconate for the Diocese of Sacramento. . Many parishioners came together that day at the Parish Center to participate in the Mass which was being live-streamed over the internet.

The following Saturday, close to 200 people joined Deacon Jack at the reception sponsored by the Vocations Ministry team and assisted generously by help from Deacon Jack’s brothers in Christ from Cursillo and the Knights of Columbus, Council 6066. The delicious Mexican dinner was catered by Lupita’s Restaurant.

The following Saturday, close to 200 people joined Deacon Jack at the reception sponsored by the Vocations Ministry team and assisted generously by help from Deacon Jack’s brothers in Christ from Cursillo and the Knights of Columbus, Council 6066. The delicious Mexican dinner was catered by Lupita’s Restaurant.

His ordination came after nearly ten years of study and discernment. During that time, he credits his wife Christine as being one of the primary supports along the way. He also acknowledges his Deacon mentor, Dave Lehman, and Dave’s wife Michelle, for walking with him. Fr. Doheny and Fr McSweeney were instrumental in the early stages of his discernment, while Fr. Aldrin has been there for him during the last several years. Deacon Jack also recognizes that it takes a parish to foster vocations, and for this he thanks God for his home parish, St. Mel. We are blessed that Deacon Roland has been assigned as a third Deacon at St Mel and will remain with us.

Vocations Dinner with Bishop Jaime Soto!

Brother David Wagner, Author

For our council, it is a common occurrence to sit down at a table with brother knights to share a meal before meetings. It is not as common to sit down with knights from other orders. It’s rarer still when the knights who you are enjoying a meal with are the Vocations Director for the Diocese of Sacramento and Bishop Jaime Soto!

On July 9th, I was invited to dinner with Bishop Jaime Soto, Vocation Directors Fr. Jovito Rata and Sister Maria Campos, fellow candidates for seminary, Michael and Steven, and one of the candidates’ pastor, Fr. Guillermo Hernandez. Beginning the night with evening prayer, we transitioned into introductions and discussing our experiences of discernment. Throughout dinner, we discussed our interest in the priesthood, our parishes, and other relatable stories. As all the candidates continue their path of discernment, we ask for your continued prayers and support in this most worthwhile ministry.

CounCil #6066 Supporting CatholiC EduCation By: Brother knight Bruce Fairchild

The current versions of The Father Richard Doheny Scholarship and the Phil F. Duffy Scholarship awards were implemented in 2016. Over the past three years, Council #6066 together with The Father Doheny Religious Education fund has provided $10,500 in financial aid to six students and their families who made the choice to continue their education at Catholic High Schools in this area.

Our council has supported Catholic Education for many years now because we understand the value it provides to the youth of our community as well as the community at large.

This is one more way that Council #6066 is making a difference.

Bishop Richard Garcia

By State Deputy Joseph C. Salaiz

Brothers, I am asking for your prayers for Bishop Richard Garcia, Bishop of Monterey. Bishop Garcia has passed away.

The bishop was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease but no official cause of death has been announced.

Bishop Garcia was born in San Francisco in 1947 to immigrant parents from Mexico. He completed his studies for the priesthood at Saint Joseph College in Mountain View and at St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park, California. He was ordained to the priesthood on June 15, 1973 for the Archdiocese of San Francisco at Sacred Heart Parish in San Jose, California.

In 1997, while serving as the pastor of Saint Leo the Great Parish in San Jose and as the diocesan director for vocations, Pope John Paul II named him auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Sacramento. He was consecrated on January 28, 1998 at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament; Bishop William Weigand served as his principal consecrator, with Archbishop John R. Quinn and Bishop Pierre DuMaine as his principal co-consecrators. Bishop Garcia was appointed to his current position as Bishop of Monterey on December 19, 2006 and was installed on January 30, 2007.

Bishop Garcia has been a tremendous supporter of the Knights of Columbus throughout his time in Monterey, working closely with the St. Junipero Serra Chapter and with the California State Council.

Bishop Garcia was a member of Monterey Council 1465 and Santa Rosalia Assembly 77. Please keep the Garcia family in your prayers.

Funeral was on July 19th in Salinas, CA. August 2018 Navigator
