“Iron is sharpened by iron; one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17
It’s time. Yes, now is the time, not tomorrow, not next month. The time is now to join our council in building community. The National Directory for Catechesis calls each of us to, “..[L]ive in community and to participate actively in the life and mission of the church.” But what is the “community”? Is this community our local parish? Our town, city or state? I liken this call as big “C” and little “c” community. We, as Knights of Columbus, enjoy [c]ommunity at every meeting and every event we participate. We live in [c] ommunity with our parish and actively support our diocese when called upon. But we are also a part of the [C]ommunity of the Chapter, State, National and even International [C] ommunity of the Knights of Columbus. Because we are part of our faith [c]ommunity, and our local [C]ommunity of Fair Oak, getting involved in big “C” and little “c” community is a perfect opportunity to put into action the four core principles of our order: Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. For example, this past month and in early October our council interacted with the [c]ommunity and [C]ommunity where at least one or more of our core principles were emphasized by: Partnering with St. Mel School [c]ommunity to run a hot dog booth at Capitol Airshow to reach out to our greater [C]ommunity. ►Together with school parents our council united as one team to raise money for St. Mel School. (Unity and Charity) ►We saluted our nation’s Airforce, both past and present by participating in the 100th anniversary of Mather Field.. (Patriotism) ►We promoted the Knights of Columbus to thousands of airshow attendees and our school parents to see the value of our (Fraternal) Order. ►All proceeds from the event will go to St. Mel School (Charity) Dedicating Oktoberfest 2018 to our parish [c]ommunity. ►We solicited and received help from all the parish ministries to provide raffle prizes (Unity and Charity) ►We involved the new Young Adult Ministry to serve and bus tables for Oktoberfrest 2018 (Unity) ►We dedicated all proceeds ~$3400 net from the event will go to St. Mel Parish (Charity) Helping the Carmelite Nun Luncheon ►Our council committed to provide and prepare the luncheon food (Charity) Staffing the St. Mel School Harvest Festival Beer Garden to help our school [c]ommunity ►Our council committed run the beer garden (Unity and Charity) Getting involved with our council can help turn the big [C]ommunity into a little [c] ommunity and that is our reward. And to do that, none of us is as good as all of us – together – we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. If you haven’t lately, make your commitment and get involved today. Our council needs you, our community needs you. Together let’s show the positive influence of the Knights of Columbus into a world that really needs more Christian men to step up. - GK Mike Ochoa October 2018 Navigator

Priesthood Sunday is the last Sunday in October. Its meant to celebrate the priesthood in the United States and is a day to reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the Church. In light of the abuse crisis and inves ga ons surrounding the Church this year, it’s even more important to offer our POSI‐ TIVE words of encouragement, love and support. We encourage you to make your apprecia on to our priests known. There are two opportuni es to do this. 1. FOR OUR PASTOR: Offer a short note of apprecia on and encouragement, or offer a spiritual bouquet to our pastor, Father Aldrin. 2. FOR OUR RETIRED PRIESTS: Again, a short note of apprecia on/encouragement or spiritual bouquet to our re red priests. BEFORE or AFTER Mass on the weekend of 10/27 and 10/28 please drop off your “gi s” in the desig‐ nated basket in the ves bule. A member of the Voca ons Ministry team will be present to gently remind you . These will be presented to Father some me during Mass. For reƟred priests please do not address the envelope or note to a specific priest. We will divide the cards up and mail them to all our reƟred priests. “Iron is sharpened by iron; one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17

This is an excellent event held by the school to bring families together. The Knights need to be there to represent our order. These are just a few ideas of where you can ind potential new members.

By: District Deputy John Brennan
The Knights of Columbus has always been a men’s fraternal organization with the focus on family. Protection of our family is vital to the health and well‐being for all of us. Besides protecting our family inancially with insurance, it is important to protect our family spiritually by being strong leader in our faith to those closest to us. Setting the example by practicing our faith with others helps make each of us stronger and closer to God. Our new Faith in Action program wants us to cel‐ ebrate the family unit in many ways. First of all, we can renew the Keep Christ in Christmas pro‐ gram by promoting the example set by the Holy Family and the Nativity of Our Lord. Your Council can work on creating community events to re‐ member the reason for the season, moving away from the prevalent materialism to the spirit of giving. Possible activities could include: Journey to the Inn – a re lection on the travels of Mary and Joseph, up to the birth of Jesus Conduct an Advent Wreath Blessing event Have a Christmas Poster Contest As in the other categories of the Faith in Action program, there is a required program in the Fami‐ ly category if your Council wants to be eligible for
the Columbian Award. The required program in the category is the Consecration to the Holy Fami‐ ly. As with all programs, this one requires some planning. Review this program with your Pastor and select a date to hold a Consecration to the Ho‐ ly Family event. Order (or print off Supreme’s website) the prayer Holy Family Prayer Cards. Promote the event at least a month and a week before the date. The consecration is to occur at all Masses for the weekend. Additional details can be found on Supreme’s website, www.KofC.org. Don’t wait to begin planning this event. As you know, the Columbian Year seems to slip away faster and faster as the months go by. More programs to consider designated for fami‐ lies include: Family Fully Alive Family of the Month / Year Family Prayer Night Family Week Food for Families Good Friday Family Promotion The family is the Domestic Church. It is vital that we do everything we can to develop and maintain a strong family unit in order that our Parish com‐ munity grows and remains vibrant.
Support the Legion of Mary The Legion of Mary is a worldwide Catholic Organization that seeks to serve God and his Church through prayer, especially the Rosary and good works. Our mission is to foster holiness in our members and evan‐ gelize the Catholic faith under the Holy Spirit and in union with Mary. We meet weekly to pray the Rosary and receive an assignment of 2 hours a week, such as visitation to convalescent hospitals and homes to pray the Rosary and bring Holy Communion to the sick.. Our Brother Knights, especially those whom are retired and can make time during the work week are encouraged to volunteer for this minis‐ try. Please contact Brother Bill Savage or his wife Joyce, joyc‐ esav@sbcglobal.net if you can help.

Four council Knights a end Cursillo Retreat, even more on team!
By: Br. Andrew Cunha
Cursillo is a movement near and dear to my heart. Cursillo teaches you 3 things all Catholic need to do. Piety, Study and Action. Piety is the time you spend with God; mass, prayers, rosery, etc... Study will help you grow in your faith and give you the tools to defend it. Action is where the Knights of Columbus come into play. We always have events to help our community. This past weekend was amazing. The candidates start the retreat as Apos‐ tles. After growing within their faith, the candidates are now sent as Disciples. I witnessed 15 men who were quiet, nervous, and re‐
served become open, joyful, and full of sprit. If you want to grow in your faith and need help to keep the ire going, please consider Cursillo. A Cursillo Leader, is a dedicated apostle; a person who puts all of their abilities in the ser‐ vice of Christ. As Pope Pius the 10th said: “They must be a mature Catholic, con‐ vinced of their faith, solid‐ ly versed in the ways of reli‐ gion, sincerely devoted to the Church, and in particu‐ lar to this Supreme Apostolic See and the Vicar of Christ on earth; persons of genuine piety, of manly virtues, of clean habits, of a life so blameless that they may serve as an effective example to all.”. Congratulations to Brothers Manuel Duenas, Jim Phillips, Carlos Lopez and Tony Quezada and thank you to our Cursillo Round Table for serving on the team! De Colores !
