2016 Council Budget Vote 10/27 With
the new fiscal year starting in January, a proposed budget for 2016 was
submitted to the Council at the Sep 22nd Council Business
Meeting. This budget will be voted on at the 10/27 Council
Business Meeting. Due to confidentiality concerns, the
proposed budget cannot be mailed out - electronically or snail mail, but
if you were not at the 9/22 meeting and did not get a copy, you can
pick up a copy from Financial Secretary Art Hausler (281-633-1643),
Treasurer Larry Stryk (832-520-4044), or Grand Knight Howard Harbes
(281-342-9334).We cannot follow up discussion on the budget at the Oct
13th Regular Council Meeting due to this being an open meeting for
prospective members. Discussion will be open prior to the vote on Oct
27th at the Council Business Meeting. |
Council Monstrance Vote - UPDATE The
Council vote on incurring up to a $2,000 expenditure for a new
Monstrance for Sacred Heart Church FAILED at the 9/22 Council Business
Meeting. The Parish has changed the scope and plans for this
project without complete disclosure to the Council. Brother Art
will be asking for a new definition from the church staff on the new
plans. These "revised" plans will be shared as soon as they are
received in either a News Blast or a weekly Newsletter as well as at
Council Meetings. A new motion based on the revised church plans
will have to be made at a Council Business meeting and posted for 30
days before a vote can be taken on that motion. |

Parish Bazaar Thanks & Update THANKS
TO ALL THE BROTHER KNIGHTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO SUPPORTED THE PARISH
BAZAAR THIS PAST WEEKEND WITH YOUR PHYSICAL EFFORTS AND/OR YOUR MONETARY
SUPPORT. PRELIMINARY REPORTS INDICATE THIS WAS A VERY PROFITABLE
EVENT. Be sure and give Brother Knight Roy Burgess and his whole family
(wife - Mary, Daughters Anna and Katy, and son in law Josh) for taking
on the arduous task of Chairing the 2015 Bazaar. Also, give
thanks to all who lead the different events and positions.
It takes ALL to make this a successful event. |
Eucharistic Adoration Sacred Heart Chapel Please take time to visit with our Lord in Adoration between the hours of 3:00PM and 10:00PM on Wednesdays in
the Chapel. The adoration will start at 3:00PM with the
Devine Mercy Chaplet. All are invited and any time spent will
offer graces and blessings for you, your family, Sacred Heart Church,
and the Holy Catholic Church. At the close of the Adoration time,
the Devine Mercy Chaplet is once more recited along with a benediction
that is supported by Fathers Michael and/or Thomas. Please consider
committing to a specific time slot every week. There are
forms at the back of the Church and Chapel to sign up. A
committed time is not a requirement to attend Eucharistic Adoration. |
VA HOSPITAL VISITATION We did not support the VA visit this weekend because of the cook and other activities in the Parish.
Future 2015-2016 dates that our Council is scheduled are: Nov 1st, Feb 7th, Apr 3rd, and Jun 19th. These dates may change as we have quite a few conflicts with our Council 2015-2016 Calendar.
Half a day to show your support of men who gave part of their lives to protect our freedoms is a small price to pay. We will leave Sacred Heart at about 7-7:15AM to car pool to the Veterans Hospital in the Houston Medical Center and should be back in the Sacred Heart parking lot by 12:00noon or earlier.
Make room on your calendar for some or all of these dates on your calendar. Our Veterans deserve you to give back to them for the service to us and our country. |
Pro Life Activities Sat- Oct 17th - 6:30AM - 3:30PM - 40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil at Gulfcoast Planned Parenthood - Last
year we had over 25 Sacred Heart parishioners and Brother Knights with
their families attend and we would like to more than double that this
year, but it takes your participation to make this happen. You do
not need to participate in the entire 9 hours - but an hour or 2 would
be greatly appreciated. There will be time slot signup after
Mass. Start planning NOW to support. 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. For program description and requirements, click on the following link: http://kc10872.org/AceWingsProgramDescription2014-15.pdf Abortion is not a Choice, it is a BABY'S LIFE ENDED. Be Pro-Life your Mother was |
