Knights of Columbus Our Lady of the Rosary Council #16175
|
|
In service to One, In service to all
|
|
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 this post I will inform you on upcoming events. In a following post I will recap the last month and a half for you in our monthly e-newsletter that was delayed last month. Please send me articles, stories, commentaries, and pics and videos for this. Thank you.

Knights Are Pro-Life!
It's time to start selling our pro-life calendars again. They have come in and ready to go. Please pick some up at the meeting or when you see a brother Knight that has extra. We are asking for a donation of $12 each and telling people that that is the equivalent of paying $1 a month to raise awareness of the fact that a human fetus is a human life and develops into a baby like that in these calendars.

First Saturday Pro-Life Walk
Every first Saturday of the month there is a pro-life walk. So the next one should be November 4th, if it still scheduled it should be well before the Spaghetti Dinner. The procession starts from Our Lady of the Rosary and goes to Planned Parenthood at First and Grape.
They meet in front of the church after the 7:30 am Mass and start the procession about 8:15. It is about a half mile walk there, and they return around 10:00 am. Please contact our Pro-Life Chairman Tom Keeley at 619-823-1519 or tgkeeley@gmail.com for more information or just join them.

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

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.com to discuss your situation. Thank you.
