Hurricane Relief

Dear Brother Knight

Hurricane Ian has roared across the Florida Peninsula, and while it may be weeks until we can truly assess its destructive impact, the need to respond is becoming quickly clear.

In recent days, both hurricanes Ian and Fiona have altered lives and battered communities. From Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic to the Eastern provinces of Canada, and now Florida and the southeast United States – disaster is widespread. Fiona has been referred to as one of the worst storms to hit the Canadian eastern provinces in modern history. Hurricane Ian is making history as one of the strongest storms to impact Florida and the southeast United States.

Our brother Knights, their families, and communities have been greatly impacted. At the same time, these very Knights have sprung into action, serving those around them.

As Knights of Columbus, we continually respond to the call of those in need – whether it be for persecuted Christians, for our brothers in Ukraine, or for the unborn child and their mother. Now must be no different. Please DONATE NOW to our Knights of Columbus Charities Disaster Relief Fund. 100% of your support will go directly to those impacted by natural disasters.

Please stand with me and make a gift today.

DONATE TODAY

Thank you for your generosity! 

Fraternally,

Patrick E. Kelly

Camp-Re-New-All in Conway

Good evening brothers,

As you are aware from our last meeting, we have been asked to help in cooking hot dogs and beans for the dedication of the relocation of Camp-Re-New-All in Conway.  

Deacon Fritz is asking for our councils, Trinity and Pope St. Pius X of Lebanon,  to help cook hot dogs and serve baked beans at the open house on Saturday, October 1.  Dinner will be served at 5:30.  We are planning to set up around 4:15.  Jerry Nehl says he has a grill that cooks 200 hot dogs, and we are looking to feed around 150-200 people. The Lebanon council will be providing the baked beans.   Deacon Fritz also mentioned that Bishop Rice will be there, too.   Again, we plan to arrive at the camp around 4:15.  This will allow us to set up and start cooking.  Jerry and I made a trip out to the Retreat Center and met with Deacon Mark to get a feel for the layout of the land.  From Marshfield, it is 24 miles and is easy to find.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.  My cell phone is 417-880-7444 or respond to this email.  Thank you brothers and enjoy this wonderful weather!

YBiC,

Gary

Prayer Request

Good evening brother Knights and families. I was asked to send a prayer email out and ask you all to pray for a Conway parishioner, Thelma Dully.

Thelma is struggling with some pain caused by some recent medical issues and is waiting on further test results to clarify her diagnosis. 

Some of the pain she  experiencing is physical but some of it is emotional which causes her to feel frightened.

Many of us have witnessed this type of emotional pain of others and know that a simple gesture of a smile, a hug, or letting them know we are praying for them can make all the difference in the world. Please join me in praying for all people suffering from all sorts of pain and emotions, especially Thelma.  

May God Bless you all.

YBIC David Kandlbinder 

Prayer for the Sick 

Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer of the sick, we turn to you in this time of illness. O dearest comforter of the troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with your gentle love, and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden. Dear God, we place our worries in your hands. We place our sick under your care and humbly ask that you restore your servant to health again. Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge your will and know that whatever you do, you do for the love of us. Amen.

Also, I want to thank all Knights who made our 30th Anniversary a success.  It was great to see family and friends in celebrating our fraternal order's founding charter of 30 years.  Thank you Jerry Nehl for supplying the meat and explaining the history of Trinity Council.  Thank you David Kandlbinder in presenting the Star Council Award to our former Grand Knight, Mike Weigand.  Mike Weigand, great job in explaining the strength of our council is the service to our community!  Also, I would like to thank Laura Vinehout for her assistance in setting up the hall.  Finally, Trinity Council, here's to our next 30 years and may they be fruitful and bountiful in the eyes of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Gary
