Knights of Columbus San Gabriel Valley Chapter

Current Et Non Laborabunt / They Shall Run And Not Grow Weary

San Gabriel Valley Chapter President Mark Edward Padilla

Brother Knights,

When I contemplated upon the San Gabriel Valley Chapter’s theme for this Columbian Year, I choose a Bible verse that has great meaning in my life. In fact I have expressed to my wife that I want these same lines placed on the prayer cards for my funeral. This may seem morbid, however we must recall the words stated in our initial degree, “Tempest Fuguit, Memento Mori,” “Time Flies, Remember Death.”

The verse chosen is from Isaiah 40:31, “They shall run and not grow weary.” Brothers, it is amazing to think how quickly this Columbian Year has progressed, the first quarter is done! It is also amazing to consider how much we have accomplished.

journey that led me to becoming the California College Council Coordinator. This culminated with a trip to Supreme in New Haven, Connecticut on September 30th.

I was blessed to take four other young Brother Knights with me and we had an incredible weekend: we prayed at the tomb of our Founder Blessed Fr. Michael J. McGivney; we had dinner in the basement of St. Mary Church where the Knights of Columbus was founded on October 2, 1882; we attended a reception at our Order’s Museum; we took pictures with our Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly and Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York City.

sponsored a Eucharistic Procession from Mission San Gabriel to St. Anthony Church. What a tremendous testament it was to carry our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist throughout the city streets with 80 people! We conducted this procession on October 12th in honor of our namesake Christopher Columbus and Our Lady of Pillar.

It was great to see so many of you at the Chapter Installation. How wonderful it was to have such a beautiful Mass celebrated by our Bishop David O’Connell and have in attendance our Past State Deputy Dr. Noel Panlilio, State Deputy Rene Trevino, State Chaplain Fr. John Grace, and Past Chapter President Thomas Quintana.

On September 12th, the day after the Installation, I began a

I am excited at the prospect of starting Knights of Columbus College Councils throughout the State, but particularly here in the San Gabriel Valley. Cal State LA and the first Junior College in the Order’s history, East Los Angeles Community College, are in the works for new Councils in our Chapter. Imagine speaking to young men in our local colleges about Jesus. It is our duty to bring our Catholic faith to the public.

Our Chapter also brought our Catholic faith to the public as we

This month is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, please carry it always and pray it often! We need our Lady’s guidance as we go about our daily battles. One battle we are asked to lead is against Prop 1, please read Page 3 and get into the fight. Also, let us honor our spiritual leaders on November 11th at our Clergy Appreciation Dinner. Brothers, let us run and not grow weary, Vivat Jesus!

As if you needed more reasons to pray the Rosary, have you heard of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s 15 promises for those who pray it regularly?

When the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Dominic and gave him the Rosary devotion, she also gave him these 15 promises of spiritual benefits for those who pray it.

At least that’s the story. As historians have pointed out since the 17th century, there’s no evidence of this story prior to the 15th century, when it was popularized by Bl.

Did Alanus just make it up? Was he confused by something else? Or did he have a source that has since been lost to us? It’s hard to tell.

Note that even if the promises were given by the Blessed Mother to St. Dominic, they would still fall into the category of “private revelation,” or something that’s not a part of public divine revelation and that Catholics are not obliged to believe.

We have a very specific ask for the Knights and their families in CA. As you know, we have been working for months in our (Arch)dioceses and parishes statewide to evangelize the beauty of the gift of life and to educate people on the evil of Prop 1.

Volunteers will call target voters from the comfort of their own homes and when it is most convenient for them. They’ll use an online platform so their home/cell phone number will not be disclosed.
