Last Week's Updates

 

Congratulations to Brother Gerry Veasey on completing 2nd/3rd Degree Exemplification last Saturday in Conroe.  Brother Marty Gibula and the GK made the trip with him.  If you have not made a 1st or 2nd/3rd Degree Exemplification lately, you need to try to attend, these ceremonies are a great reminder of what the Knights of Columbus are all about.  Gerry's son Garrett is ready to sign up but will have to wait 2 years as he is only 16.   

  

Well the Weather Predicting Persons all had it wrong and God allowed the Work Group composed of Art Hausler, Larry Stryk, Jill Stryk (Brother Larry's Daughter), Blaine Strnadel (17 Year old Son of Brother Jared), Danny Walthall, David Hobson, Michael Speich, Kevin Eades, Scott Burton, and the GK, to complete the Spruce Up Program for the trees along the East side of the CCE Building and 2 trees on the West Front of the Church. There was time, supplies , and crew enthusiasm left to add in the sago palm and larger oak tree at the church into the program.  Take a look and see what you think.  We are looking at Phase 2 for next Monday - see details below. 

 

May Service Opportunities

  

On the afternoon of Monday, May 18th starting at 4:00PM we will have a Council work session for the Phase 2 Parish Tree spruce up - which will relate to adding the stone borders to the flower beds at the Rectory.  Feel free to show up earlier, I plan to pick up the materials about noon on that day and be there about 3:00PM to start positioning materials for work.   After the work is complete a meal will be served for a fellowship session for all workers.  We do need a head count to insure sufficient food is ready, so please call Larry (832-520-4044) or Arthur (281-633-1643)  The more hands, the better - and quicker the job will get completed.

Pro Life Activities  

Contact your U.S. Representative (From KofC Supreme)

Dear Brother Knight,

 

The U.S. House of Representatives will vote this week on H.R. 36, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This important measure will ban abortions on unborn children aged 20 weeks or older, based upon substantial medical evidence that these unborn children can experience pain. With H.R. 36, Congress will exercise its authority to protect these vulnerable pre-born children.

 

However, while a vote has been scheduled for later this week, successful passage of H.R. 36 is not assured. H.R. 36 needs your personal support. Please contact your elected congressional representatives today by clicking here. Ask them to support H.R. 36 with their vote, and encourage your family, friends, fellow parishioners, and Brother Knights to get involved and actively support this legislation.

 

At the 132nd Supreme Convention in Orlando, we resolved to "speak out to our elected representatives about the need to enact legislation...to protect human life."  With the upcoming vote on H.R. 36, it is critical that Congress hears your voice.

 

Thank you for all you do to promote a Culture of Life.

Pro-Life Ace Wings -

Viewing the movie "Blood Money" (80 minutes) will serve as three of the five event requirements. This is a very informative documentary involving women having had abortions and others previously involved in the abortion industry who are now Pro-Life.
