    I agree with TNKNIGHT remember our lesson of the third degree not to speak out against our brothers. Prayer is the answer.

    If you are interested in making them, but not selling them, there is a good organization in Grand Rapids, MI that donates hand-made rosaries and scapulars to different missions and churches. You can check them out here: http://www.ourladysrosarymakers.com/history.html

    I believe that Tee's explanation is quite accurate. In my council, we have a 1st degree team captain and he organizes the team and communicates any practices or upcoming exemplifications. Your GK can tell you who the captain is and then you can work with them to identify where you can begin to participate. I congratulate you on your desire to be part of the team. I have found that by being part of the team I have gained a greater understanding of the lessons of each degree and strongly encourage all of my brothers to step up and participate in helping the new brothers advance in the order.

    We have an officer's and director's meeting tonight, and I want to bring some suggestions.

    What do some other councils do for a family style get together around Christmas? Other than" Light up for Christ" which I want to start at our council/parish this year.
    I'm sorry that I was not able to respond yesterday. The thought that popped into my head was the possibility of hosting a Nativity pageant where the children could play the roles of the Magi and the shepherds as they come to adore the newborn Christ. Perhaps in this way you can encourage the children to keep in mind the true meaning of Christmas, as opposed to the commercial meaning in which our culture indulges today.

    Thank you so much brothers!

    I've got a better understanding of what I'm expected at my council now. The main form I am to submit are the State Council Service Program Awards Entry Forms, as well as the Columbian award application. As well as a couple other forms, the majority of the other forms as stated by others is the responsibility of the GK and FS.

    I have to get in gear, because we have had several events so far this year, and I have to submit form #STSP for every function and event we have to Ontario State Council.

    I'll have to make some time this weekend to complete them, or maybe some weekday night this week.

    I have an important role, because if I don't submit the forms, we won't recieve the Columbian Award this year, which could also affect qualification for Star Council. Whew, I'm sweating now. Lol. Wish me the best in my duties as Chancellor this year.

    Hi brothers and friends!

    I recieved in the mail today my plaque from The English Company stating on it Chancellor, SK John P. Noonan, Council #12996, 2009-2010. It was a gift from my youngest sister. She also sent me a lapel pin that has the k of c crest as well as Chancellor engraved on it. It is a very nice pin, and the plaque is so cool.

    In the past I have been appointed Lecturer, elected a Gaurd as well as Trustee. I don't have plaques and pins for those positions but that would have been nice too.

    I hope to be able to have two more plaques on my wall in the future, DGK and eventually GK, and the pins for them as well. We'll see, depends on how I do as Chancellor this year, and how the members of my council vote in the upcoming years.

    If you want to see what the plaques, and pins look like or any other K of C items, the website for The English Company is http://www.kofcsupplies.com.

    Vivat Jesus!

    I do not know which council, but I know he goes to church near the Bevo Mill. I am so looking forward to my 4th degree. Thank you for conveying your enthusiasm!

    Lucky! I wish my assembly did that. We have to pay for our own, but our assembly reimburses us $100 of the cost and they give us our swords and sword cases. My regalia is being made right now, hopefully I'll have it in a couple of weeks.

    Welcome (belated), crusader1 -- If you have specific questions you are curious about, please post them (personally, I pay more attention to the forum than the message wall, but I do look in here now and then (as, I am sure, do others)).

    Or, I hope your curiosity is satisfied by observation.

    Brother Knights, I urge you to join the Pro-life issues group if you havent already. As Knights our mission is to stop the needless killing of the unborn. We need to support any group that shares in this mission. There are many other duties and charities that the Knights participate in, but the Pro-life cause is the most fundamental. If you think about it, if the killing of babies isn't stopped we won't have a future generation of people to help out with our charity drives.

    The Canonization of Venerable Fr. Michael J. McGivney - our founder- is the church guarantee that, WE,, Knights of Columbus are in the right way of sanctity. PLEASE HELP PRAY TO GOD for that spiritual approval.

    May I share with your our DAILY OBLATION OFFERING OF A KNIGHT.......

    O Most Holy Trinity, God the Father, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit; I believe, I adore, I trust and I love in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Have mercy on me, have mercy on us. Please forgive us our sins. Instead, please come to me and possess my body, soul and spirit that I may not offend you anymore. Purify me and make me a disciple of your will.

    I offer you my lifelong thanksgiving, praise and blessing because you are my Lord, my God, my Creator, my Savior and my Enabler. You are my life. Without You, I am nothing.

    Grant that you glorify on earth and in the church our founder Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney!… the Knights of Columbus solemnly pray.
    Venerable Michael J. McGivney! … Pray for us!
    All the angels and saints… Pray for us!
    Triumph!...Immaculate Heart of Holy Mother Mary;
    Most Sacred Heart of Christ Jesus!… Your kingdom come! AMEN

    The prayer is the summary of our prayer devotion with the veneration of the relic of Venerable Fr. Michael J. McGivney every friday.

    With it, we are now observing a vision (face reflection) of Fr. McGivney appearing in our church's upper sanctuary wall. How we hope, our Bishop will pass a positive verdict on the matter.

    BENEDICT XVI ATTENDS SCREENING OF A FILM ON ST. AUGUSTINE



    VATICAN CITY, 3 SEP 2009 (VIS) - Yesterday afternoon in the "Sala degli Svizzeri" of the Apostolic Palace at Castelgandolfo, Benedict XVI attended the screening of an abbreviated version of the film "St. Augustine", an Italian, German, Polish co-production. The film was made by Lux Vide/Rai Fiction, Bayerischer Rundfunk/Tellux Film, Eos Entertainment Rai Trade and Grupa Filmova Baltmedia. It was directed by Christian Duguay.



    At the end of the screening, the Holy Father expressed his thanks to everyone involved in the project and pronounced some brief remarks. "I feel this film to be a spiritual journey in a spiritual continent, far distant from us yet at the same time very near because the human drama remains the same", he said.



    "We have seen how, in a context far removed from our own, the reality of human life is represented with all its problems, sadness and failures, just as we have seen how, in the end, Truth is stronger than any obstacle and seeks out man. This is the great hope that remains at the end: we alone cannot seek out Truth, but Truth, which is a Person, seeks out us. Seen from the outside, the life of St. Augustine seems to finish tragically as the world for which and in which he lived comes to an end. But as was made clear in this film, his message remains and, even as the world changes, it endures because it comes from Truth and guides us to Charity, which is our shared destination.



    "Thank you to everyone", he added in conclusion. "Let us hope that many people, watching this human drama, may be sought out by Truth and so discover Charity".
