Brother Knights, 
 
The Council will be holding a sub sale after all Masses on Saturday and Sunday, September 7th and 8th.
 
A few of our brothers, including me, will be out of town so we could sure use your help, especially those who have not participated in a K of C service event recently.  It’s great fellowship and it requires only about 15 minutes of your time after Mass!
 
Please email Dave DeFour to let him know which Mass you are available to assist .  If we sell out of subs after the 11am Sunday Mass we will contact those that volunteered for the 5pm Sunday Mass to let them know. 
 
Optimally 4-6 Knights are needed for each mass at Marsh Drive to cover both the Narthex and the church exit at the south parking lot.  It is best to be in position right after you receive communion as some parishioners leave right after communion.
 
Thank you for all who have helped sell subs; it's a team effort that significantly helps support numerous programs at St. Pat's.
 
Our next sale after this one will be October 7-8, 2019.

​Worthy Brothers,
 
Congratulations to the following Knights who will attend the 4th Degree Exemplification on Saturday November 9th, 2019.  The flyer is attached.  All 3rd Degrees are encouraged to contact me if you would like to take this next step in your catechistic faith journey:
 
Tim Andrel, Adam Fabbri, Douglas Henschel, Dan Pagana, Paul Rast, and Charles Steinberger.  Congratulations on your step to becoming a Sir Knight!
 
For all brothers who are at the 1st and 2nd Degree please contact me if you wish to continue in becoming a FULL KNIGHT.  Something brought you to the Knights and we want to be all we can for you especially with the new programs our our Faith in Action programs.  I will find a degree for you that fits your schedule and accompany you if you wish to take this next step. There is no more commitment of your time and talent just another opportunity to learn more about our order and our faith in service. In Service to One, in service to ALL. 

At last night's Council 4057 business meeting, Regional Membership Director Dave Kern gave a report regarding his time at the KofC 2019 Supreme Convention in Minneapolis. Among many important developments, Dave highlighted the family that was honored as family of the year. A link to the story can be found here: ​https://www.kofc.org/en/news/releases/knights-of-columbus-names-2019-family-of-the-year.html

Also of great significance, the Knights posthumously granted Kendrick Castillo, an 18 year old high school senior killed in the recent Colorado school shooting, full membership in the Knights of Columbus. A link to the article can be found below. Supreme Knight Carl Anderson summed things up as follows: “We have made a momentous decision,” said Anderson. “Kendrick wanted to join the Knights of Columbus to be more like us. By your acclamation, you have told the world that we want to be more like him.”
