KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS BISHOP CLAUDE DUBUIS COUNCIL #7445 Sacred Heart Parish Richmond, Texas September 1999 http://www.intertex.net/users/sacredht/SocKC.htm |

Happy the man who follows not the counsel of the
wicked, nor walks in the way of sinners, nor sits in the company of scoffers,
but delights in the law of the Lord and meditates on His law day and night.
Psalm 1:1-2
Dear brothers,
We have a few major items to discuss at our September meeting so please come out and share your thoughts. October's meeting will once again be an OPEN meeting at the old CCE Building where we will celebrate Columbus Day and honor our altar servers with a Fish Fry. We ask that you chip in with a vegetable, salad, or dessert. The council will provide the fish and drinks.
Continue to pray for our sick, our youth, and for a spiritual revival and renewal amongst all peoples, but especially those in our own country.
Live life to the fullest,
Michael

Program Director Andy Bockholt spoke of the need to plan ahead for each event. Each event needs a chairman and helpers. There was a discussion regarding the volunteering for events. We need everyone who is able to volunteer for at least one event during the coming year. Most of the events will take less than 4 hours of your time. They are scheduled but we need your help now.
New Business: A motion was made that the Council advertises on the back of the Parish Bazaar Raffle tickets at a cost of $150. Motion was seconded and approved unanimously
In need of our prayers: Dennis Barrett and Dennis Barrett Jr.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:44pm.
LIFE CHAIN
Life Chain is an annual public witness against
the killing of unborn children. It is held the first Sunday of October.
The participants stand prayerfully, peacefully and legally along major
roads. Life Chains will be held in hundreds of cities nationwide
on October 3. Bring the whole family – this is a chance to stand
up and be counted for life. The specific location and time for our
Council will be announced later.
PROGRAM DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
Planning our new year calendar.
What will you do to help your council?
The planning of events takes time and help from
the membership. We currently have approximately 140 members. If every member
signed up to help with 1 or 2 events, we can have well planned events.
We don’t want to wait until the last minute to determine if we have enough
help to have the event. Most of these events take less than 4 hours.
A donation of your time and talents for 8-10 hrs per year will be helpful.
Do you want to be asked? We are asking you to
volunteer now to get the event that you would like to work. If you
really want to be asked, then we will call and ask what event you would
like to volunteer for. We need chairmen and helpers. Most of
us are afraid to be a chairman. Maybe you are but you can try. That
is what we are asking – to try.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITY
Painting the new offices for the Pregnancy
Resource Center.
Our first Community activity of the year, painting
the new offices of the Pregnancy Resource Center, is nearly completed.
The Offices look quite nice, especially compared to the way they looked
when we first started.
Many thanks to those of you who volunteered. Approximately 80 hours were spent so far on this effort. Six separate trips were made up to this point.
Volunteers included:
Hugh Burton - Project Director Frank
Knesek - 2 Time Volunteer
Gene DeBons Dan Polczynski

Arthur Hausler - 2 Time Volunteer and
a donation of paint equipment
Jim Mensay Andy Bockholt

We derived a great deal of satisfaction from
this project. There was much fellowship. We solved all the world’s problems.
Although the list above is long, many more Brothers were needed. Many were
asked and could not participate for a variety of reasons. Others were not
asked, primarily because I don’t know you well enough. Please don’t let
that stop you participating in the future. Perhaps you can help with the
remainder of the project. Please call Hugh Burton (281)
342-4302 and let him know if you are interested in helping. We most certainly
can use your help. The next project will be some Saturday in late September
or early October.
The Pregnancy Resource Center is in business to
provide an alternative to abortion for pregnant women. While we can’t stop
abortions, we can help where we can. Helping to provide an attractive environment
for the Center staff to meet with these pregnant ladies may just help save
a life.
YOUTH ACTIVTIES
As of now, the following youth activities have
been planned for the coming year:
1. Breakfast with Santa - December
2. Freethrow contest - January
3. Softball with Life Teen - October
4. Volleyball with Life Teen - February
Virginia Ewald and Tony Langerud have been contacted to get their input on what activities we as Knights could provide to our elementary, middle, and high school youth. Some of you may have some thoughts and ideas of ways that we can be of service to our youth. Let Mike Spiech (281) 937-0257 know; or better yet, volunteer to work up some youth-related activity.
FAMILY ACTIVIES
The KC Family Day Astro's Game is scheduled for
Sunday, Sept. 12th. The Astro's game will start @ 1:35 P.M. We will load
the bus on the small parking lot to the right side of the Family Life Facility.
We will begin loading the Bus at 11:45 a.m. and plan on departing no later
than 12:15 P.M., so be ontime!
Tickets to the game will be given out on the
bus and we will collect the $8.00 per ticket cost at that time. Checks
should be made to the Knights of Columbus Council 7445.
The bus will drop our group off at the front
of the Astrodome and will pick-up
at the same location after the game. We estimate
being back at Sacred Heart
about 5:00 p.m.
Bring your best cheering and support for the
Astros to the game as they work to
beat the Chicago Cubs and Sammy Sosa.
If there are any questions call Rick Bilski
(281)342-7895.
