  • March 2014 KC News Monthly Newsletter of the Glencoe Knights of Columbus St. Christopher Council #4842

    Messages from the Grand Knight Hopefully, this never-ending season of cold and snow and icy roads will actually melt into a true spring. The astrological ‘Spring’ is set to start in less than two weeks, but that is not likely to happen this year unless there is an awful quick snowmelt. And, of course, such a melt might cause flooding like I have never seen! (I was not in Minnesota in the Spring of 1965.) And the last time I can remember seeing snow like this was in January/February 1982 (5 to 6 months after moving here!).Also, I know I mentioned this idea a couple of months ago, but it bears repeating. That is, that at the weekend Masses, at the time the Petitions are read, the last petition always has a pause in it for any personal intentions anyone wants to (silently) add. I recommend that we consider petitioning for no major flooding in Minnesota this year.

    The cold did cause the cancellation and re- scheduling of one KC event recently - - - the removal of some of the paper and cardboard in storage. That has now been set for Saturday, March 22. Since that is the same day as our Lenten Enrichment Series (Noon-3pm), I was hoping that the removal would start by (or before) 9am, so as to be completed by 11am. As before, Jason Jacques is the chairman of the removal, so be ready when he calls. THANKS to all those volunteers who have responded in the past and will continue to help out in the future.

    If you read the last newsletter, you are aware that our next KC meeting will be in the parish library! That’s because there will be picture-taking for the AFC directory going on in our normal meeting room. Thus, based on lack of space, I concluded there should be NO LUNCH that night. (Oh RATS! Cookies or bars only!?)

    * * * *

    NO March Lunch Committee: (See bottom of first column!) We continue to collect email addresses! Please forward your email (or updated phone number) to Jim Cross at [email protected]

    Next Paper Drive The paper drive will be 4/10 through 4/12… Back to 4-7pm on both Thursday and Friday, and 8am-Noon on Saturday. (Daylight Savings Time back on.)

    Upcoming Events March 18 Regular Meeting 7:30pm **In PARISH LIBRARY** March 22 Paper Removal from Storage March 22 Lenten Enrichment Series April 10-12 Paper Drive (See Above) April 15 Regular Meeting 7:30pm April 20 Happy Easter April 26-27 Tootsie Roll Drive (Andy T.)

    KC Scholarship Scholarship applications are in the church office for graduating high school seniors. Apps need to be completed by April 15, 2014 for consideration. We are looking forward to reviewing these and awarding two applicants (any career path) with $500 scholarships and one applicant with a $250 scholarship (healthcare career path). Congratulations to all graduating seniors and Good Luck in whatever you pursue.

    And one more thing… A slate of officers for the next fraternal year will be forthcoming soon! Be ready and willing to be an officer when I call (volunteer by calling me?) Submitted by GK Dennis Reiter

  • SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY

    In his Lenten message for 2014, Pope Francis takes inspiration from the words of St. Paul (Cor 8:9), and asks us to contemplate Paul's invitation to live "a life of evangelical poverty." Embrace his call by fasting from or "giving up" material things, including food, superfluous to your basic needs; "taking up" charitable habits directed to helping and caring for others; and "lifting up" those in need through giving alms, praying and participating in devotional practices. Take inspiration for your Lenten journey from the words of Pope Francis featured on this calendar and contemplate the suggestions for prayer, fasting and almsgiving.

    5 Ash Wednesday – Lent

    begins

    In many parishes today, the

    Collection for the Church in

    Central & Eastern Europe is

    taken up. Please give!

    6 As Lent begins, consider

    participating in Catholic Relief

    Services’ Rice Bowl Program

    to help you pray, fast and

    give. Download the Rice Bowl

    app to help you along!

    7 Today, we remember two

    early Christian martyrs,

    Perpetua and Felicity, who

    are always mentioned

    together for good reason.

    Read about these saints and

    you’ll understand why.

    8 Today as we remember St.

    John of God, read some of

    this compassionate saint’s

    thoughts on reaching out to

    the poor. This weekend,

    Learn about and give to the

    Collection for Black & Indian

    Missions.

    9 First Sunday of Lent

    Listen to an audio retreat

    based on today’s readings in

    English or Spanish with

    Bishop Joe Vásquez of

    Austin.

    10 Pray for the elect who will be

    baptized at Easter and learn

    how catechists prepare them

    to be received into the

    Church through the Rite of

    Christian Initiation of Adults.

    11 Lent & Discipline: The 40

    days of Lent are a good, set

    time to work on personal

    discipline in general. Instead

    of giving something up, do

    something positive such as

    praying or exercising more.

    12 “Christ’s poverty which

    enriches us is his taking flesh

    and bearing our weaknesses

    and sins as an expression of

    God’s infinite mercy to us.” ─ Message for Lent 2014

    13 Today is the first anniversary

    of Pope Francis’ election as

    Supreme Pontiff. Take time

    today to pray for him and to

    thank God for the gift of his

    papacy.

    14 “…we could also say that

    there is only one real kind of

    poverty: not living as children

    of God and brothers and

    sisters of Christ.” ─ Message for Lent 2014

    15 Today we remember St.

    Louise de Marillac who

    greatly helped St. Vincent de

    Paul in his work among the

    poor and is the founder of the

    Sisters of Charity.

    16 Second Sunday of Lent

    Listen to an audio retreat

    based on today’s readings in

    English or Spanish with

    Archbishop Timothy J.

    Broglio of the Military

    Services.

    17 Today we recall the life of St.

    Patrick, the apostle to Ireland.

    Reflect on his words: "Christ

    in the heart of every person

    who thinks of me, Christ in

    the eye that sees me, Christ

    in the ear that hears me."

    18 “God’s wealth passes not

    through our wealth, but

    invariably and exclusively

    through our personal and

    communal poverty, enlivened

    by the spirit of Christ.” ─ Message for Lent 2014

    19 Solemnity of St. Joseph,

    Husband of the Blessed

    Virgin Mary

    St. Joseph, the model of

    humility, and one of our

    greatest saints, is known for

    his silence. Read about the

    poignant silence of Joseph.

    20 Today is the vernal or spring

    equinox, when the hours of

    light and darkness are equal.

    Celebrate spring and light by

    reading Pope Francis’

    encyclical The Light of Faith.

    21 “Destitution is not the same

    as poverty: destitution is

    poverty without faith, without

    support, without hope.”

    ─ Message for Lent 2014

    22 Today we remember St.

    Nicholas Owen, who spent 20

    years building secret

    passages for Christians to

    escape persecution. Read

    about this extraordinary

    saint’s ministry and

    martyrdom.

    23 Third Sunday of Lent

    Listen to an audio retreat

    based on today’s readings in

    English or Spanish with

    Bishop Liam Cary of Baker.

    24 “Whenever our interior life

    becomes caught up in its own

    interests and concerns, there

    is no longer room for others,

    no place for the poor.” ─

    Evangelii Gaudium

    25 Solemnity of the

    Annunciation of the Lord

    On this day, we mark the the

    Blessed Virgin Mary’s

    enounter with the Angel

    Gabriel and her “yes” to

    bearing the Son of God.

    26 How is your Lenten prayer

    going? Remember that Lent

    is essentially an act of prayer

    spread out over 40 days. As

    we pray, we are brought

    closer to Christ and are

    changed by the encounter

    with him.

    27 “By making himself poor,

    Jesus did not seek poverty

    for its own sake but, as St.

    Paul says ‘that by his

    poverty, you might become

    rich.’” ─ Message for Lent

    2014.

    28 “Our faith in Christ, who

    became poor, and was

    always close to the poor and

    the outcast, is the basis of

    our concern for the integral

    development of society’s

    most neglected members.” ─ Evangelii Gaudium

    29 This weekend, the Catholic

    Relief Services Collection is

    taken up in many parishes.

    Learn more about the work of

    CRS and consider a gift to

    assist in their international

    humanitarian work.
