Training: lectors and eucheristic ministers

Worthy Brothers,

DGK Erik Doran advises we will be serving Mass on the third Sunday at noon for the next three months (Sep-Nov).  Besides the choir, we will serve as Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Sacristan, Greeters, and Collectors.  Participation by as many Knights (and their relatives) as possible at each of the Masses is needed.

Brothers Kevin, Jerry, Gil, Basil "Butch" and Raul received training for Lector and Euch. Minister.

Erik may arrange other training sessions prior to Sunday.  Please contact him if you are interested.  He will arrange our assignments for that day. 

We want to be visible, so wear your Knights jacket or polo shirt to these Masses.

First Knight's Mass-Father's Day: June 15

We'll be having our first Knight's Mass on Father's Day (fittingly enough) June 15 at noon. Between the Knights (or their relatives) who currently serve as a Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, and Sacristans (and those who have agreed to be trained prior to 6/15), those positions should be covered. We'll still need Ushers/Greeters and people to take the collection and bring up the gifts. The Knight's Choir will be "performing" prohibiting those members to greet or collect. We can discuss the details at the 6/5 meeting. We'd like to see as many Knights (preferably wearing Council Jackets) and their families as possible. We hope to have these Masses on a regular basis (at least once a quarter), rotating among the various Mass times.

Pennies From Heaven:

At some point this year, Good  Shepherd School will have a Penny Drive fundraiser.  Start saving your pennies now and the Council Members can pool their donation.  Details to follow.

Box Tops for Education:

When grocery shopping, look for food packages that bear a “Box Top for Education” coupon (such as General Mills cereal products).  These can be used by Good Shepherd School.  They can be turned in at a Council Meeting.

Youth Minister

St. Peter's is hiring a new Youth Minister. One benefit of starting a Squires group was thought to be a potential attractiveness to St. Peter's (as we don't believe their Men's Club offers any youth programs). A full-time Youth Minister might be threatened by a Squires group or might be an enthusiastic advocate.

Fundraising Ideas?

We welcome any suggestions for fundraising ideas or programs we should consider organizing. The more ideas, the better.

Contact Jerry Henderson or any other officer.

community service projects

Dear Brothers in Christ:

Heads up on two community service projects:

1.    Beach weed-pulling, 4^th Sunday of the month, (on the 26^th this month) 10 to 12 noon.  Meet in the community center parking lot.  Be there if you can.  I have a conflict but have been trying to make it to as many of these as possible to represent the K of C.

2.    Beach cleanup, Saturday, Sept. 19, Rockaway Beach.  I think it will also be  10 to 12 noon, but will send more information later.

Many blessings,

Brother Don
