the Knights of Columbus do great things being "in service to one, in service to all" for our parish, community, brother Knights and their families, and for those in need. You are a vital and appreciated part of that service! In my last email you read about our upcoming events. We pray to see you there! A e-newsletter was not sent out for September, so this edition will recap September and part of October for you. Please send me articles, stories, commentaries, and pics and videos for future editions.. Thank you.

Maria SS Addolorata Society Festa
Our banner was carried in the procession at the Maria SS Addolorata Society Festa Mass on Sunday, September 17th. In addition, we had many 4th Degree members there, including four in regalia (the Color Guard).

It Was A Breakfast Eggstravaganza! And Fr. Joe's Birthday!

Our Lady of the Rosary Festa
Both our 3rd Degree council and our 4th Degree Knights were well represented in the annual Our Lady of the Rosary Festa on Sunday, October 1st. The Color Guard shielded Bishop Robert McElroy who was carrying the monstrance, and I along with Past Grand Knight James Cardinale-Hill carried our council's banner. In addition, many brother Knights in our council are involved in the church and thus at this Festa as Lectors, Ushers, Eucharistic Ministers and in the Choir. And we had a special guest from back East: Brother Knight Kyle Garrett from Council 418 in Virginia helped us with our banner. He works on the Disney cruise ship and was docked here with just enough time to join us in the procession from the church down to the harbor.

Madonna del Lume Festa
While not specifically a Knights of Columbus event, as mentioned above, many of our council's members are also ushers, lectors, choir members, and participate in Mass in other ways, most wearing their name badges. So there were some in the Festa Madonna del Lume Mass on Sunday, October 15th, including yours truly who took video. Click here for more videos.

Just a reminder our annual Intellectual Disabilities (ID) Drive aka "Tootsie Roll Drive" is this weekend, Saturday, October 21st at the 5:30 pm Mass, and Sunday, October 22nd, all day at all Masses. We still need more volunteers so please contact our ID Drive Chairman Chris Forte at 562-726-8326 or email at cforte844@gmail.com if you can help at all or just show up!
Also that night, though not an official Knights of Columbus event, we could call this volunteering in a Community program and so I ask as many brother Knights as possible to attend "Shoebox Night" as put on by the Little Italy Heritage Commission that I am a board member of, a committee of the Convivio Society. It will be at Our Lady of the Rosary Upper Hall this Saturday, October 21st at 6:00 pm and is FREE with free wine, refreshments and some type of entertainment. In addition, we need as many OLR parishioners and residents and former residents of Little Italy to also attend as this is about preserving the history and culture of Italian-Americans in San Diego. Please go to the following link to find out more:Shoebox Night

Our next General Meeting is Monday, October 23rd. As always at the Upper Hall of Our Lady of the Rosary Church with a Social at 6:30 pm (open to all) and meeting at 7:00 pm (open only to brother Knights.) We always request you bring some food or drink to share at the Social if you can.

Been Away?
Many Knights get busy with family obligations, health issues, Summer trips, work, and, especially in this parish, with other groups and societies, but if you haven't been active with us in a while or paid your dues and want to get back involved, please let us know. Being a Knight isn't about attending meetings, but it does help to stay in the loop. We would at least enjoy your company at one of our events and/or volunteer actions. We value all our brothers and miss your company. Please contact our Financial Secretary Jason Gloyer at 619-466-8729, email: jason.gloyer@gmail.comand to discuss your situation. Thank you.
