Pope Benedict’s general prayer intention for October is: “That Sunday may be lived as the day on which Christians gather to celebrate the risen Lord, participating in the Eucharist”. His mission intention is: “That the entire People of God, to whom Christ entrusted the mandate to go and preach the Gospel to every creature, may eagerly assume their own missionary responsibility and consider it the highest service they can offer humanity”. Title: Membership meeting Pope Benedict XVI’s general prayer intention for September is: “That the ecumenical assembly of Sibiu in Romania may contribute to the growth of unity among all Christians, for whom the Lord prayed at the Last Supper.” His mission intention is: “That, following Christ joyfully, all missionaries may know how to overcome the difficulties they meet in everyday life.” Title: Oktoberfest and Fun Run Pope Benedict’s general prayer intention for August is: “That public opinion may be more aware of the problems of millions of displaced persons and refugees, and that concrete solutions may be found for their often tragic situation”. His mission intention is: “That those Christians who are discriminated against and persecuted in many countries because of the name of Christ may have their human rights, equality and religious freedom recognised, in order to be able to live and profess their own faith freely”. Pope Benedict’s general prayer intention for July is: “That the Christians of the Middle East may live their faith in full freedom and be an instrument of peace and reconciliation”. His mission intention is: “That the Church may be the seed and nucleus of a humanity reconciled and reunited in God’s one and only family, thanks to the testimony of all the faithful in every country of the world”. Title: 1st Degree Initiation All members are strongly encouraged to attend the 1st Degree Initiation. Title: KC Family Potluck Our next KC Family potluck will be held Thursday, July 7, at 6:30 pm. Please plan on attending for some fellowship amoung your brother Knights and families. And if you know someone who might be interested in joining, invite them, or bring them along. Title: 1st Degree Team Practice We are creating a 1st Degree Team and we need help. We need at least six members to be part of the team, but it would be best to have extra in case a member of the team cannot attend. This will be our first practice to learn the roles and what happens. Please consider being part of our 1st Degree team. This is short notice as we are trying to get a new member through the 1st degree initiation before the end of the month. If you are interested in becoming a member of the team, or need more information before deciding, please contact Grand Knight John Wang. Title: Pancake Breakfast & Bake Sale Each member is asked to bring something for the bake sale and all members are encouraged to come help set up, cook, serve and clean up. Many hands make light work for everyone. For more information, contact Brother Wes Mendenhall. |
