Chiefs’ Harrison Butker

Chiefs’ Harrison Butker Supports Regina Caeli Academy through #MyCauseMyCleats 

 

12/03/2022

 

ATLANTA — The seventh season of the National Football League (NFL)’s “My Cause, My Cleats” campaign is underway with players supporting causes close to their hearts. Harrison Butker, Super Bowl Champion kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs and outspoken Catholic husband and father of two, is featuring Regina Caeli Academyon his cleats, which will be auctioned in support of the homeschool hybrid following Week 13 games. 

 

“As a father, it is my responsibility to ensure I have given the children entrusted to me by God the best opportunity to attain salvation. This starts in the way we run our home and how we prepare our children for life. In seeing the benefits of classical education, it is clear that Regina Caeli is at the forefront of the hybrid model. I am happy to highlight such a great Catholic institution,” Butker said. 

 

A graduate of Georgia Tech, Butker reverted to the Faith in college, drawn by the beauty of sacred and reverent liturgy. With an eye for the beauty found in the Holy Mass and a mind always seeking to improve in its knowledge of the catechism, Harrison Butker joins Regina Caeli Academy families in the quest for Heaven for themselves and their children. His platform gives him the opportunity to draw others to the truth found only in God, whether through reverts like himself, non-Catholics, or in youth seeking to serve at their local parishes. 

 

Regina Caeli Academy is a national homeschool hybrid program developed in 2003 for faithful Catholic homeschooling families. RCA operates 20 locations nationwide, including one in Kansas City. RCA provides a comprehensive, classical curriculum that is optimized for the hybrid format, with students attending in-person socratically styled classes on Mondays and Thursdays and learning at home with the aid of provided lesson plans the remainder of the week. 

 

Regina Caeli, a 501(c)(3) organization, is a private and independent preschool through 12th grade homeschool resource center. Fundamentally, RCA is committed to faithful adherence to the Holy Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. More information can be found at RCAHybrid.org.

"Brother Knights, my wife shared this with me and I thank her so much for her support of the Knights of Columbus. 

Please share this attachment with your members and men of the church. 

Men that aren't active in their families and in their faith as Catholics NEED to hear that they are needed and God wants them to be leaders of their families and voices of our faith. 

Let's continue to pray for our faith, families, and the future and strengthening of our Church and the Knights of Columbus. 

Vivat Jesus!"

Meeting Notes January

Brothers,

First, I want to say I am sorry for leaving during our meeting, Tuesday night.  For some of you, you have been made aware that my wife, Tracy, has two brothers, Rob and John Foster.  Long story short, John has been bed bound for the last 15 years. He had a form of MS that finally took over his body to the point where he could no longer use his legs and arms.  Monday, Hospice was notified and John's home was transformed to accommodate his last days.  He was a fighter and decided to cling to this earth until Wednesday afternoon.  At 2:20, with family surrounding John's bed and singing 70's music throughout the day, Rob Foster beautifully delivered a prayer from the heart and with that, John took his last breath.  

 So, prior to our meeting on Tuesday,  brother Knights that knew of my situation, provided support through words of encouragement and of their own personal experiences and I thank you!   To our council, thank you for your support, understanding and for your love.  You are truly men of God.  

God bless,

YBIC, Gary

The upcoming weekend we will need volunteers to pass out Roses for Life.  I will pass out roses on Saturday and anyone else that would like to assist is more than welcome.  We will need volunteers for Sunday morning at 8:00 and 10:30, too. Thank you Russell Rouse for taking care of Sacred Heart.  Also, January is the month the Knights serve coffee and snacks.  If you have never assisted in serving coffee and snacks, please consider helping.  Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at our meeting, Tuesday night.

I want to wish you and your family a blessed New Year

I want to wish you and your family a blessed New Year.  When I look back on the last 10 days, the Gray household has gone through Covid and a family member admitted to the hospital, but we know we are still very blessed in our health and love of God.  I also ask to pray for the soul of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. May almighty God bless us with his peace and strength, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen

Blessings,

Gary
