Dear Brother Knight’s, Columbiettes, Squires, and all Catholics that are united in Christ, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all my brother knights for electing me as your Grand Knight. I am both humble and honored to know you have the confidence in me to fill the position. Corpus Christi Council #2502 is one of the premier councils in Nassau. I pledge to you I will do my utmost to insure that the Council maintains its high standings. I want to take the opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to outgoing Grand Knight, SK Peter Zayas for his leadership and guidance of the Council in the last two years. For it is written in Corinthians 12:12-27 there is one body, but it has many parts. But all its many parts make up one body. For any Council to flourish it takes many brothers working together inspired by the first three principles of our order, Charity, Unity and Fraternity. The Council needs the support of all our members and I respectfully requested it. To Danny Donovan and Nick Passarella II I can't thank you enough for your willingness to take on the extra overtime hours in making our Council trip to Belmont successful. I am grateful and appreciate your willingness to go the extra mile. I want to commend Tom Kelly and Jack Grafing and their committee for their efforts on the Council picnic. Many of our brother knights noticed and appreciated your attention to detail and relentless

determination to make our Council picnic a success. We are proud to have you as part of our team and look forward to your future contributions. Sunday, September 9th, marks the return of Football Sunday down in the Council’s Lounge; come down and enjoy a beverage of your choice as we root for our favorite teams and enjoy the company of our Brother Knights and friends. The Williston Street Fair will take place on Sunday, September 16th, 11am till 4pm. Volunteers are needed to help promote and sell C & B books. On Thursday, September 20th at 8:00 p.m., in lieu of our Social Meeting, we will have our Council’s Officers Installation Ceremony. This function will be open to all family and loved ones and all incoming officers can invite their spouses to present to them the jewels that represent the office that they will be undertaking for the following year. There will be a repast following the event. Mark your calendars, once again I am calling for volunteers to man the tables outside our Council on Sunday, September 23nd, for the Mineola Street Fair. There will be a Blood Drive at St. Aidan’s on Sunday, September 23nd. Volunteers and donors are needed for this worthy cause. The first International Night will be held on Saturday, September 29th at 7:00pm. The International Night will be a combination of Italian Night and Octoberfest with a flavor of American, German, Italian and Polish cuisine. Music, Open Bar, a Collaborative Buffet all for $55 per person. Please see flyer or contact Ken Lyons @ 746-8643. Come join us as we celebrate our heritage from these great countries. We have some new members and some first-time officers this year and I encourage them all to reach out to our council’s more experienced members for any questions that they may have.

Page 4 CLARION September 2018 Continued from page 1 You will find them all to be very helpful and will soon learn why I consider Corpus Christi Council Number 2502 to be the very best. Fraternally yours, SK John Mallon, PGK  

Chaplain’s Report: As we begin another Columbian Year, I wish to bring a few matters to your attention and update you on developments in some other areas. We had a second afternoon of recollection back in June, on the second Sunday of the month at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Island (Eastport). The weather was once again in our favor (as it was in our inaugural year), but attendance was not. We had just seven people attend (in contrast to 20 the year before). I have already announced at a regular meeting (June 21st) that I will not make plans for another afternoon of recollection in 2019. If there are members of our council who want an afternoon of recollection with the council chaplain, I will consider the request only after a firm commitment has been made to have a critical mass of members be in attendance. Absent that commitment, I will not give over my time to arranging for the ongoing formation of our members through an afternoon of recollection. As you know from email messages from Tom Kelly and announcements at regular meetings and this publication too, our council marks its 95th anniversary later this year (November). Our major initiative in support of this event is the commemorative journal which will be published shortly. I urge you to get behind this endeavor and take an ad in the journal. Our journal is a test of how much “juice” we have in the tank at our council. We need our members – all of them – to step up and contribute according to their means. Please do so today or at your earliest convenience. Last month, I continued my consultation with an attorney who advised us in February concerning religious liberty and not being party to acts which contradict our identity as a Catholic fraternal organization. Before we reach a final resolution of this matter, I reiterate what I said on June 21st at a regular meeting: We are moving forward on this matter. There is no turning back at this point from taking proactive measures to protect our council against lawsuits and adverse publicity when we act in conformity with our Catholic principles. I will continue to keep you apprised of further progress on this front until we reach the goal of having suitable language inserted into our “guiding”

documents (constitution, by-laws and rental agreements). Lastly, we have our installation of officers on the 20th of this month. If you haven’t been to an installation in a while, please consider coming. The new officers would surely appreciate seeing brother Knights witness their pledges to serve our council according to the best of their abilities. The only way to being and having a strong council is the participation of our members. Don’t hang back, don’t sit on the sidelines. Get and stay involved! In Christ, Msgr. Bob Batule Council Chaplain The Right Corner: "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO” IS A COMMON ABUSE OF AUTHORITY. There are so many wrong ways to approach something, and fewer right choices. Therefore, people depend on those around them and different resources for good advice and influences. Children, especially, look up to their parents and other adults in admiration and try to mimic their actions. It is not always easy, however, even for the heroic adults to set the right examples. "Do as I say, not as I do”. Is one of the most commonly used clichés. As often as it is said though, it probably does not work in most cases. This phrase reveals three important messages: members learn from their past members examples, saying is easier than doing, and actions are more convincing. People, generally, are easily influenced by the decisions of those around them. They acknowledge their imperfect knowledge, and try to learn what they lack from others experiences and wisdom. Also, a person's behavior represents who he is, therefore, it is important to present oneself most properly in front of others. Even more so than the grownups, children are more vulnerable to influences. They also have weaker acquaintance when distinguishing which are the correct ways of achievement, and which ones should be ignored. They will resolve to emulate everything and anything that their idols are doing; all adults, especially the parents, are the children's idols. If a mother constantly litters in public, her child will learn to behave in the same way. An abusive or alcoholic father will raise his son to be just as violent and irrational. People may not be conscious of the effects of their own conduct on the children's development, Continued on page 5

Page 5 CLARION September 2018 Continued from page 4 but everything the adults say or do after in presence of a child is susceptible to becoming the child's own expression. "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO” IS A COMMON ABUSE OF AUTHORITY. Let us explore the Knights of Columbus version of the above phrase. Councils should not own buildings, they should hold their meetings in Church basements or meeting rooms. One only has to look north towards New Haven, Conn. to see how the New Wave Pharisees and Scribes view owning a Knights of Columbus building. Go there for a visit or tour and no way will you be allowed on the second floor where the officers are. I wonder why? The Knights of Columbus Building, in Downtown New Haven, Connecticut, is the headquarters of the Roman Catholic fraternal service organization, the Knights of Columbus. This 23-story modern building, is the third-tallest building in the city's skyline. Compare that to the Tower of Babel which stood at nearly 300 ft. in height. "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO” IS A COMMON ABUSE OF AUTHORITY. That much-favored, hypocritical saying bandied about by lazy authoritarians, “Do as I say, not as I do,” never seems very convincing to any member. And now, research has demonstrated that the exact opposite is actually what motivates members to tackle tough situations — because when responsible adults communicate “Do as I do,” it’s inspiring to Brother Knights, especially if the doing takes effort. Our human instinct is to pay closer attention to lessons learned from the mistakes of others, we know that mistakes are the first steps toward wisdom. Ken Lyons, Editor Around the Council: July 4th Independence Day Parade: Every July Fourth we pause to celebrate America’s national birthday. It’s time to watch fireworks displays, sing patriotic songs, march in parades and listen to concerts and attend casual barbecues, picnics and family gatherings. As we do so, we should recognize that millions of our ancestors, by their creative thinking, hard work, and devotion to the common good, and personal sacrifices have helped make our nation a beacon of democracy and opportunity in a world that has faced a sea of challenges since 1776.

In this year’s parade The Knights had a smaller contingent of Brother Knights, Catholic War Veterans and Columbiettes. I often scribble in the sand The words I find so hard to say And hope the wind will come along And blow them all your way. Ken Lyons, Editor Belmont Trip: On Saturday, June 30, 2018 we made our annual trip to Belmont racetrack. All for the low price of $25 per ticket that included the admission to the racetrack, a program and all the food you could eat. The only negative aspect of the trip was the extremely hot weather that day. But still you got to spend an afternoon outside, watching beautiful animals perform at their peak ability. A chance to mingle with the brother knights and friends and enjoy the thrill of placing a bet on a horse with a bizarre name. Of course, that's if you know how to place a bet. In fact, the experience of horse racing was so enjoyable and family friendly that simply thanking Danny Donovan, Nick Passarella, Co-Chairmen along with Jude Ohrtman, our cooks, for all their hard work, seems inadequately insufficient. Ken Lyons, Editor Annual Golf Outing Report: Someone upstairs must like the Knights of Columbus because the weather for our golf outing was perfect. Tee off was 7:45 am when 90 men and 1 woman teed off at Glen Cove Golf course on Monday, July 16, for our 22nd Annual Golf Outing. It is the generosity of our hole sponsors, the 91 golfers and special guests, that enabled us to make a net profit of $6,105. In every successful event there are people working out in front and behind to bring off the event, so in no particular order I want to extend my sincere thanks to: Brothers Timmy Clarkin, Bobby Redmond, Pete Augello, Charlie Ribando and George Poarch. Let us pause for a moment and remember to offer a special thanks to Bob Eising who started and chaired the golf outing. Special Kudos belongs to Bernadette Ferguson and Kathy Ohrtman for selling the raffle tickets. Last but not least are the hole sponsors who deserve our thanks for helping make our outing very successful. Ken Lyons, Chairman

Page 6 CLARION September 2018 Golf Outing Thank You: I want to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful support of our Annual Golf Outing Fundraiser. It is through the effort of our golfers and especially our golf hole sponsors that we are able to achieve the first principle of the Knights of Columbus, Charity. Your financial aid during this time will provide double the impact as it will be applied to the core mission of our council in helping those individuals and organizations in need, as well as providing resource funding for future endeavors. Thank you again; your donation is an affirmation of the kindness and humanity that still exists in the world today. Kindest regards,

Ken Lyons. Golf Chairman 2018 K of C Golf Hole Sponsors: Our Annual Golf Outing is made possible only through the generosity of our golfers and hole sponsors who provide the financial support necessary to make it happen. We ask you to help us in thanking them for supporting our charitable event.

Council Picnic: On a perfect picture postcard day approximately 75 Brother Knights, Columbiettes, their families, friends and honored guests enjoyed the council’s annual summer picnic, held on Saturday July 14, at Wilson Park by the Mineola Pool. We had 5 tents and an abundance of trees to provide shade for us. The volunteers began to arrive at the Council by 9 am, all eager to help set up for the picnic. By 11 am the picnic chairman and committee were prepared for, arriving onslaught of Knights, Columbiettes, friends and families. Once again we proudly displayed our Council banner on the fence. Shortly before one, Jude started grilling the food. There was a beautiful display of salads, desserts and fruit displays donated by many of the guests. We had very pleasant, casual conversations over our meals, and continued right on talking after the food was put away. Jack Grafing, Tom Kelly, Jude Ohrtman, Timmy Clarkin, Mike Beatty, Dan Albino and Ken Lyons as well as all the people who donated food, deserved a great round of applause for their hard work and dedication. To all the members who made lame excuses for not attending this highly enjoyable Council event let me say to them, ‘Bah Humbug’. The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. Ken Lyons, Editor Corpus Christi Council #2502 Food Drive: America has long been called the land of plenty. However, each year, millions of Americans go hungry. Even in our own community our friends and neighbors face a difficult challenge of putting enough food on the table. Even working people you possibly know are hungry. Did you ever come across an old man, woman or a child with worn out shoes. In their eyes you see no pride, their hands held loosely at their side. Continued on page 7

Page 7 CLARION September 2018Continued from page 6 Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of Mineola. I'll show you something to make you change your mind. Most of us get cranky when we need to eat, but what if you skipped more than just one meal? What if you went days without eating, and it was not because you were too busy or too exhausted to eat? What if you had to choose between medicines or groceries… which would you choose? Many in our community are facing this very dilemma today. So how can you help? The scope of fighting local hunger in our community often makes people believe that one person’s action cannot be effective in helping. Every one of us can do something to help ease the burden of our neighbors hunger. Who will be strong and stand with me? Who will join in our crusade to fight hunger? Let’s make a God-honoring difference in their lives by portraying the first principle of our order, Charity, in action in our own backyard. But a fundamental issue is that many individuals feel that asking for money—like requesting cash as a gift—seems somewhat gauche. So, let me be rude on their behalf: Corpus Christi Parish Outreach is a well-managed charity in our community and I ask you to trust them to know how to do their job. They have access to food at a fraction of the price. They know their clients, and they have better things to do than to sort through your canned goods. Good intentions are lovely, but particularly in hard times it’s more important to make sure your charitable dollars go as far as possible. Beginning in September and continuing through to December we will begin collecting your pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars. If you are interested in joining our campaign in making a difference please bring down all loose change in your pockets to our Council or mail us a check and we will deliver them. I am asking you to reach deep down in your heart and soul to make a difference, a Brother Knight without Charity is like a night without the stars. Together we will ease the burdens of those in need. Our Council is open every day between the hours of 9 am –11 am Monday thru Friday. Remember by helping people who are less fortunate than you is to look into the face of God. Ken Lyons, PGK, Football Sunday: Football Sunday will return on September 9, 2018. For many of our wives and girlfriends the end of the summer season brings a tear to their eyes.

Football Sunday is open to men and women alike. In an effort to attract more brother knights to participate in this Sunday ritual 2502 Assoc. will provide free snacks during the games. So come down and support your local team and enjoy a beverage of your choice. Bring your friends and neighbors to enjoy the games. “If it doesn’t matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score.” Vince Lombardi Ken Lyons, Editor King of the Hill Pool: The King of the Hill Pool returns on Sunday, September 9, 2018. Pick one NFL team each week, you may only pick a team once with no points involved and keep winning to advance. The cost is $25 per entry.

Music, Open Bar, a Collaborative Buffet all for $55 per person. Please see flyer or contact Ken Lyons @ 746-8643. Come join us as we celebrate our heritage from these great countries. Let us pause and look at a few of the great men and women that America has produce throughout its short history. In the field of political leaders we have George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, turning toward the spiritual arena two leaders come to mind Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen and Billy Graham. In the field of civil rights we see Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, heroes from all sports Babe Ruth, Joe Louis, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, Michael Jordan, and how could we leave out our greatest athlete, Jim Thorpe. America has led the world in the entertainment field starting with Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, and Disney’s Mickey Mouse. People were amazed by the success of the Wright brothers, but even that feat seems so small compared to Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. With limited time and space we touch on some of the men and women who contributed in making this land the most popular nation to live in. On International Night we are celebrating not one, but four country heritages. The next stop takes us to Germany. Germany is one of those countries

whose influence on the world history has been immense. German men, be it the world renowned Nobel Prize winning physicist Albert Einstein or the economist and philosopher Karl Marx, have indelibly marked the world and changed the course of history. German men often have to put up with the stereotypes that they are arrogant, reserved and lack a funny bone. But do they really? Germans are no doubt intellectual people, from the field of music comes Johann Sebastian Bach and Richard Wagner. Their spiritual leaders were as different as night and day in their relationship to the Catholic Church. St. Boniface is the Patron Saint of Germany and is credited with conceiving the idea of the Christmas tree. Martin Luther was a heretical monk who separated from the Catholic Church and formed his own religion. Germany also gave us a young writer by the name of Anne Frank. From entertainment field comes Marlene Dietrich and Ursula Andress (the first Bond girl). German sports heroes range from Steffi Graf (tennis) and Katarina Witt (figure skater) to Dirk Nowitzki (basketball) and Honus Wagner (baseball). As you can see, many Germans have left an imprint on the world we live today. Leaving Germany and heading southwest on our trip we encounter a country slightly larger than Arizona, a long peninsula shaped like a boot, Italy. The beginning of the history of Italy can be traced back many centuries before Christ. When we speak of the history of Italy we are largely talking about the history of Rome. Rome is the capital city of Italy, the home of the Vatican and the Papacy, and was once the center of a vast, ancient empire. It remains a cultural and historical focus within Europe today. St. Francis of Assisi and St. Catherine of Sienna are the co-patron saints of Italy. Many popes both present and past were born in Italy. But Italy is also famous for their artistic display in the world of painting and sculptor. Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael are three of the most talented painters and sculptors the world has ever seen. Let us dip into the world of Philosophy where we find two great philosophers, Galileo and St. Thomas Aquinas. As we fast-forward to the 20th century we present Italy’s contribution to the world of entertainment with Sophia Loren, Claudia Cardinal, Gina Lollobrigida and Isabella Rossellini, four very talented and beautiful Italian actresses to ever grace the movie screens. Continued on page 9

Page 9 CLARION September 2018Continued from page 8 Continuing with the cultural theme, has anyone heard of these two singers Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli. Many great athletics were also born in Italy, Flavin Pennetta (tennis), Stetania Belmondo (Olympic Gold Medal winner in Free Style Cross Country Skiing), Frederica Pellegrina holds the world record for 200m free style in swimming and then there is Mario Andretti. Some of the names listed above are very familiar to us all while some are not, yet all have made Italy the artistic envy of the world. Leaving Italy we head northeast through the countries of Austria and the Czech Republic before arriving in the final stage of our trip, Poland, which Is a country of central Europe. Poland is located at a geographic crossroads that links the forested lands of northwestern Europe to the sea lanes of the Atlantic Ocean and the fertile plains of the Eurasian frontier. Polish culture has always remained strong; indeed, it even flourished, if sometimes far from home. Madam (Marie) Curie not only was the first woman to receive the Nobel Peace award but she won it twice for two different fields. Italian women are heads of their families, while ladies from Germany wear fur coats and hats during the year. These are just stereotypes, but let's see how Polish women are perceived. Polish women are educated, family-oriented, nurturing easy-going, hospitable, romantic, and elegant. Doda is a very famous Polish singer who has won many European music awards, while St. Faustina Kowalska was a very pious nun and mystic. Her apparitions of Jesus Christ inspired the Roman Catholic devotion to the Divine Mercy and earned her the title of "Apostle of Divine Mercy". As inspiring as these women are so are, the Polish men. Nicholas Copernicus is considered the father of modern astronomy, who can forget Frederic Chopin was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era who wrote primarily for solo piano. He has maintained worldwide renown as a leading musician of his era, one whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation." Polish revolutionary ideals, carried by such distinguished patriots as Kazimierz Pułaski and Tadeusz Kosciuszko, are true patriots of the American Revolution. Pope St. John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope in more than 400 years. Mike Krzyzewski is considered one of America’s greatest college basketball coaches.

Four countries, America, Germany, Italy and Poland, although they differ in the languages they speak, they are bonded together by the contributions their citizens have made to make this world a better place. Ken Lyons, Editor International Night Raffle: International Night is one of our biggest fundraiser of the year with the proceeds going to support Council donations and Children’s Christmas Party activities. As usual, in conjunction with our International Night Dance we are conducting our “Trip Around the World Raffle”: the 1st Prize is $ 750.00, 2nd Prize of $ 250.00, 3rd Prize of $100.00 and 4th Prize of $100.00. I am particularly asking that each Council member and Columbiette to purchase at least one Trip Around the World raffle ticket ($10 each) if possible. All raffle ticket donors will receive recognition of their generosity in our monthly newsletter and website, and live at the event. Thanks so much for your generous support,

Ken Lyons, PGK and Chairman Journal News: Dear Brother Knights: I am writing to ask you to consider taking an advertisement in our 95th Anniversary Journal. For 95 years, our Council has supported the priests and parishes of the Church of Saint Aidan in Williston Park and Corpus Christi Church in Mineola. In addition, we have consistently served the needs of our families, our youth, the sick, the needy and our community.

Squires Circle: The Knights of Columbus, New Haven, Conn. has made a clear choice when they decided it wants to cut the Squires out and send the kids back to Youth Councils at their church. Why do the Knights of Columbus wish to silence the Squires? The leadership of the Knights of Columbus must speak up clearly, or the Crux crusade against Squires will remain for all purposes the public and editorial policy of the Knights. Do the Knights of Columbus truly wish to have this indelible stain in their legacy? The Squires are trying to go to one more baseball game at Citi Field – August 25 at 4 pm Mets vs Washington and an Islander game in Coliseum in the fall.

Ken Lyons, Editor Insurance Corner Raising Awareness about Life Insurance Since 2003, the Life Insurance Market Research Association (LIMRA) has designated September as “Life Insurance Awareness Month.” It was created because there is an overwhelming lack of understanding among the general American public about life insurance, its uses, its benefits, and its variations. Each year, LIMRA puts out their consumer survey results and the results they report are informative. Many people rely on life insurance to protect their family’s financial security. The major reasons they stated for owning life insurance include covering burial and other final expenses, helping to replace lost income and helping to pay off expenses like the mortgage. However, almost twenty percent* of Americans, both with and without life insurance, say that they do not have enough. Most adults own life insurance; almost sixty percent* own some type of life insurance, either individual or group coverage. Almost everyone, ninety percent* believes a family’s primary wage earner needs life insurance. Over thirty-five percent* of the households would feel adverse financial impacts within one month if a primary wage earner died. The most common responses people won’t buy (or won’t buy more) life insurance are: it’s too expensive (sixty-three percent*); they have other financial priorities (sixty-one percent*); or they already have enough coverage (fifty-two percent*). Most Americans understand that age and health can affect the cost of their coverage. Far fewer

know that their driving record, credit history and lifestyle can also affect the cost. Misperceptions create purchase barriers and consumers generally overestimate the cost of life insurance*. Many people worry about having enough money for retirement. When asked why, they say they are concerned about the economy or they haven’t saved enough for retirement. These very real concerns can make it difficult to see the important role of life insurance in retirement planning. About half* of all adult consumers visited a life company website and/or sought life insurance online. Almost thirty-three percent* purchased or attempted to purchase life insurance online. More than half, fifty-five percent* would research life insurance online, but purchase from a financial professional. Half* of all consumers want a primary financial advisor while thirty-seven percent* have one and fourteen percent* are looking for one. As a member of the Knights of Columbus, you have a full-time professional agent you can call your own. My primary responsibility is the care and service of your family’s life insurance, retirement and long-term care needs. The Knights of Columbus’ primary goal is to serve and provide financial aid and assistance to members and their families. You owe it to yourself and to your family to make sure that your family’s future is secure. Don’t be caught by surprises, be informed and be prepared. Let’s have a conversation to help you understand the importance of protecting your family’s future. Vivat Jesus! Will Havron, CLTC 516.578.6452 Knights of Columbus Fraternal Benefits Agent KofCwillhavron@gmail.com Membership: Let's say that you have a rock in your shoe. No one other than you can know exactly how that rock feels. Others may have read about rocks, seen rocks, or even had a similar experience with a pebble caught in a sandal. However, you are the expert on this particular situation because you are experiencing it. The same concept applies to candidates joining and volunteering their time and talent. In a spring recruitment drive this year we had an influx of candidates looking to become brother knights. No matter what your talent or passion, we offered a variety of ways to get involved, meet other members, and make a difference. Continued on page 12

Page 12 CLARION September 2018If you build it, will they come? What is the relationship between intent and outcome? Does the Field of Dreams quote, “if you build it, they will come” have truth to it? Not exactly, but it does allude to an important and true concept- If you build it, you increase the odds of them coming. In other words, if you put thought and energy into a project you increase the likelihood of success. If you think about it but take no action, nothing happens; if you take action, you increase the probability of a desired outcome. The more time, effort, and attention you give to a thought and project, the greater chance of its success. Ken Lyons, Editor Fr. Michael J. McGivney: Pope Francis Says He Is on ‘Waiting List’ to Become a Saint. Well it is going to be a mighty long wait there scooter! Pope Francis announced that he would canonize Pope Paul VI later this year, and that he and emeritus Pope Benedict XVI are on the “waiting list” to become saints. Although the pontiff was almost certainly speaking tongue in cheek, his words touched on a sensitive topic among Catholics, many of whom believe that a moratorium is needed on raising popes to sainthood. There are two recent bishops of Rome who are already saints, Paul VI will be a saint this year. One with his cause for beatification in progress—John Paul I—his cause is open. And Benedict and Francis are on the waiting list. The recent spate of pope-saints is somewhat of an anomaly, at least since Christianity became legal in the Roman Empire. Where does all this canonization talk leave Venerable Michael J. McGivney? Popes, although higher in rank to priests, should not be declared automatic saints any more than a football jersey of the Dallas Cowboys makes a fan a member of the NFL. If anything, priests are held to much higher standards than the average lay person as they are responsible for so many souls. A bad priest can turn many people away from God. It was in the 19th century when many Catholic men joined various fraternal organizations which seldom identified with the teachings of the Catholic Church. Father McGivney founded the Knights to help counter any person who would enter in discordance of the faith. Furthermore, the Knights of Columbus was instrumental in preserving families of deceased Catholic men by providing alms to the widowed wives. What more cause could

be worthy in the canonization of this figure? Canonize the Venerable Father! Recently Pope Francis has approved a fourth pathway to possible sainthood — giving one’s life in a heroic act of loving service to others. In a new apostolic letter, the Pope approved new norms allowing for candidates to be considered for sainthood because of the heroic way they freely risked their lives and died prematurely because of “an extreme act of charity.” Saints didn’t set out to have everyone follow them. Saints set out to follow Jesus, and others followed them in their pursuit of Him. Ken Lyons, Editor Seminarian News: Once in a while there is a seminarian who gives up. Not suddenly but rather slowly, zeal cools, faith weakens, appetite for Christian enterprise disappears, the wellspring dries up, the soul becomes parched and the eyes droop gloomy and listless. What happened? Did evil storm the seminarian’s citadel and take over? No. Did much study drive him into doubt? No. Did attractive alternatives to ministry turn his head? No. Nothing quite so dramatic. The seminarian simply made the fatal error of assuming that spending so much time talking about God was an adequate substitute for talking with God. He lost his desire and spiritual death followed. Let’s set the stage, we are in a crisis, I see it in my own parish, though it appears the pendulum is swinging the other way. We have seminarians waiting in the wings…only they are not becoming ordained quickly enough to replace the attrition from retiring priests. There is hope and the recent numbers actually show a surge in enrollment to seminaries. Add to that an increase in seminarians who are making to their ordinations. I suggest to combat this we enter into a deep period of prayer for seminarians. We need to pray for these young men so that they may remain steadfast in their mission and attain ordination so they may lead the flock of Christ. Prayer is the pathway to union with God. Prayer opens the door for the Holy Spirit to descend upon us and transform our hearts and souls. The world does not need sermons; it needs a message. You can go to the seminary and learn how to preach sermons, but you will have to go to God to get messages. Ken Lyons, Editor

Page 13 CLARION September 2018Fourth Degree News: The Fourth Degree Exemplification will take place on Sunday, October 7, 2018. Any Third Degree Knight interested in becoming a Fourth Degree Knight should contact our Grand Knight. Corpus Christi Council will host the November 20th meeting at 8pm. Vocations Prayer: O Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love, impart Your knowledge, understanding, and counsel to youth that they may know the vocation wherein they can best serve God. Give them courage and strength to follow God's holy will. Guide their uncertain steps, strengthen their resolutions, shield their chastity, fashion their minds, conquer their hearts, and lead them to the vineyards where they will labor in God's holy Service. Pro-Life Corner: Is Immigration a Pro-Life Issue? In the March for Life Movement, there was a call to include immigration in their pro-life platforms. Our nation’s inhumane and flawed immigration policies leave migrant women, children, and families abandoned by the side of the road. It is time for all Catholics to defend the sanctity of human lives at all stages. We recognize the image of God in the migrant at the border, in the prisoner on death row, in the pregnant woman and in the hungry child. One of the bottom line questions is whether immigration and the refugee crisis is a pro-life issue. Some Catholics of a more “progressive” mentality would like to equate the two issues saying, “How can you call yourself pro-life while you are neglecting the refugee and the immigrant? Isn’t it pro-life to help the homeless, the suffering and the victims of war, poverty and violence?” The answer is “Yes.” It is pro-life to help refugees and immigrants, but it is not at the same level of moral justice and integrity as the abortion issue. The abortion issue is about life itself. Unless they are in actual danger of death, helping refugees and immigrants is about quality of life. This is not to excuse a callous or uncaring approach to the refugee and immigration problem, but it is to put the two problems in perspective. When it comes to helping refugees and immigrants we should be both compassionate and clear headed. Our policies should be driven by the desire and duty to help those who are in need, while also

recognizing that boundaries are necessary and vetting is necessary. America is the richest and most powerful nation, not only in the world today, but in all of human history. We should have the means, the method and the money to help immigrants and refugees, and to do so in ways that will benefit them in the long term. Some of those solutions might be for them to settle in the United States. However, looking at things in the long term, our resources might be better used to come up with peaceful solutions which help the potential refugees and immigrants in their own homeland and culture. If we worked with the countries of Central and South America to improve economic, cultural and educational opportunities their people might not feel such a need to migrate North. Should we be involved in helping refugees and immigrants? Absolutely, but we should do so in ways that are not only generous and compassionate, but also smart, effective and efficient. As Catholics we are called to take concrete measures to overcome the misunderstanding, ignorance, competition, and fear that stand in the way of genuinely welcoming the stranger in our country. Ken Lyons, Editor Editorial #1: One of the hardest things for new members who joined our Council is sharing their time and energy to accomplish the goals our Council has set. But signing up new members is not enough, we have to promote our Council. So let me offer some insights of what’s happening starting in September and continuing to the end of the year: On Sundays in September is the return of football Sunday down in our lounge where the beer and liquor are sold at discounted prices. Our first International Night Dance will be held on Saturday, September 29th. In November CWV will hold a Brunch honoring all Veterans and in December we will have our Annual Children’s and Members Christmas Parties. By attending one of our Council events you will feel as if you are instantly part of a group of friends. Remember we began as strangers, we became friends, we became one with each other…we remain as one forever. Ken Lyons, Editor

Page 14 CLARION September 2018Editorial #2 Apathy Running a Amok in the Council: The sound of the fan, the drops of water from a leaking faucet, the creaking sounds from members sounding off about everything that’s wrong with the Council. Sounds that used to be in the background now seem so loud and obvious. Sometimes I feel like I lost my way, my motivation and my passion. Burnout? or perhaps...apathy? We came into the Council with full of hope and passion. 'Apathy' was never really understood until we mature. We lose that childlike wonder...that imagination...and forget that deep down inside, we're still that 'superhero' we once thought we were. Yeah...yeah...everything has to make financial sense and logical sense. Things have to be feasible and sensible. But it also impedes on our ability to make sense out of our lives. To think of it...things that were truly amazing were never 'logical'. Men never thought flying was logical...till the Wright brothers proved them wrong. Who thought a silly cartoon mouse character would lead to the creation of major theme parks and a TV franchise.....till Walt Disney came about. Who thought walking on the moon was possible … Neil Armstrong did it. Maybe Howard’s Beale immortalized lines from the movie Network are most fitting here “I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore”. I get that my tirades are becoming boring and empty and that nobody really cares anymore… if they truly ever did. Whatever; that doesn’t stop my need to… “NO,” my obligation to speak out. Ken Lyons, Editor Marguerite 2018 I often sit in Memorial Park watching the birds take flight into the sky, as I turn around all the trees are beginning to come in full bloom, the children playing their silly games with each other and sweethearts strolling by hand and hand. No matter where I am, my mind begins to wonder because I still miss Marguerite. This is another tough article to write. As I started on this venture eight years ago, I didn’t realize the possibility of losing friends along the way. I would always read on Facebook messages from other survivors about loved ones and friends who passed away due to breast cancer. It would affect me as well, but I never knew them personally. I would just read those words, “Another breast cancer fighter gained her wings today.” It has become a daily occurrence. It started to numb me to the core. So many people dying from this horrible disease every

day. That’s about 110 people per day, which is about 40,000 per year?! What?! But then something happened that hit me close to home. That numbness that I described a few minutes ago? Well, no more. My best friend passed away in her sleep. This surprised me because we would talk for hours on the phone all the time. She never told me that she was that sick. I think she didn’t want me to worry, so we would talk about life’s other interesting things. She loved talking about everything from what’s new in the Knights to what’s happening in Eleanor Rigby’s. She was a fighter, a dreamer, an advocate, a warrior, a dog lover, an incredible aunt, a sister, a daughter, a hoot, and finally, my hero and my best friend. This is so hard. Back in my mind I always knew that along the way I would lose friends, but I wasn’t ready for this one. I simply wasn’t ready. We are never ready, right? I talked to Marguerite about random things happening in our lives. She made me laugh all of the time. She was very direct and always told me how she felt about things that have bothered her. She never took crap from anyone. She was a fighter! She made me believe again that anything is possible after cancer. She was my inspiration to do great things. Aristotle described deep friendship saying, “What is a friend? A single soul in two bodies”. friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…. it has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival, but at the end of the day it is something that feels impossible to describe. Friendship is deep and powerful and amazing, but it is hard to really explain why. If you have a close friend you just know what I mean. No surprise, when a friend dies, like when a family member dies, we don’t “get over it”. We learn to live with it. It may get different, it may get easier, but it is always with us. When Marguerite passed away in her sleep eight years ago, that scared the crap out of me. I did not think I would sleep again. Well, at least not for a few nights. But I cannot let fear control me. She would tell me to forget it and get over it. Go to SLEEP! That is what she would say to me. I am happy that she is now at peace and taking care of dogs that are in heaven with her. When my time is up, she will be there saying, “Hi, Kenny…Welcome to Paradise.” God didn’t add another day in your life because you needed it added, it’s because someone out there needs you.
