Support for the Funeral of a Deceased Brother
A Testament to what the Principle of Fraternity in the Knights of Columbus
Below are two write-ups regarding an Honor Guard at a Funeral Mass for John Crawford. DGK Rick Sullivan
was contacted by his Council in Northern Virginia if we (St. Brendan's KofC Council) could do something to
honor the death of one of their members.
Our council stepped forward to help out a fellow knight. I was contacted by Thomas “Nick” Curran, the Grand
Knight of Corpus Christi KofC Council 13468 in Northern Virginia. One of their council members, John Crawford, had just passed away. John was living here in Cumming with his brother. John was a long time member of Council 13468.
Nick asked if we could do something for John as the Funeral Mass would be at St. Brendan's on Friday, December 19th. I suggested we would have an Honor Guard for John’s Funeral Mass.
We had eleven Fourth Degree Knights step forward to be part of the Honor Guard. They were Mike Artzer,
John Boehm, Chuck Bogatie, Bob Croft, Ken Douglass, Joe Fenton, Peter Manfre, Chuck Perrot, Nilton Santo, Mark Smergaliuolo and myself.
We received a nice thank you note from Nick Curran:
Brother Knights – I am so very grateful to you for volunteering to form an Honor Guard at Brother Knight John
Crawford’s funeral on Friday. Your actions for a Brother whom you do not know from a Council you had previously never heard of exemplify's our Order’s principle of Fraternity. God bless you all.
Vivat Jesus!
Thomas “Nick” Curran, Jr.
Grand Knight; Corpus Christi Council #13468
This was great to have our council help out our brother knights.
Rick
DGK
We also received a nice note from their District Deputy Steve Rogers:
Subject: Support for the Funeral of a Deceased Brother
Worthy Deputy Grand Knight and Brother Rick,
I have been following the service you performed for Brother John Crawford, a deceased member of Corpus
Christi Council #13468 in South Riding, VA. Your quick and unselfish response when contacted by the Grand
Knight of Council #13468 is such a testament to what the Principle of Fraternity in the Knights of Columbus is
all about. In my 43 years as a member of the Knights of Columbus, I have rarely been prouder to be a Knight
after hearing how your Council supported a Brother Knight so far from his home Council and the support you
gave the family at a very trying time. I will be using this example in my talks with members and prospective
members when I discuss what it means to be a member of the Knights of Columbus. On behalf of District 18,
Virginia Knights of Columbus please accept my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your kindness to a Brother Knight. Please pass this on to your Grand Knight and all the Brother Knights from your Council that assisted.
Should you ever need assistance like this in the future, here in Virginia, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Fraternally,
Steve

Grand Knights Corner
Brother Knights,
Well, half of the Columbian Year 2014/2015 is half gone but there is still a lot of goings on in our council for 2015. So volunteers will be needed as you will see later on in this message!
Hope all had a Great Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!
December was a packed month again. We had our CAFE 107 which was hosted entirely by our council along with our Breakfast with Santa Claus. HO! HO! HO! Thanks to our Santa(s) and all the helpers making this a great event.
The profits for this CAFE 107 remained with our council this month with a profit of roughly $1,000. This is the largest month
thus far. We also provided our "Keep Christ in Christmas" this year by selling sweet treats from the Monastery of the Holy
Spirit, Conyers, GA.
We had our 1st Degree Exemplification this month and with all the great help from Doug Hoffman and his volunteers we
brought six new brother knights into our council that evening along with one re-instated brother knight. This brings us up to ten
new brother knights to date. This leaves just seven more new brothers to enlist. So do not stop all the recruiting that you do
throughout the rest of the Columbian Year.
Again I want to thank all the brother knights of our council who volunteered throughout this December. Volunteers ask some of
your brothers to help you the next time. One of our brother's mother once said that a "lot of hands make little work!"
January is now here and things are still moving and shaking for our council.
We will have our monthly meeting on January 12th so plan to attend and in fact ask your brother next door to join you.
One of our big projects will take place in January and that is our "Baby Bottle Campaign." We will be distributing baby bottles
after all the Masses on January 24th and 25th. Brother Knights will be needed in the narthex after each mass to hand out the
plastic baby bottles and literature associated with this project. If you can't help on the weekend, we will be needing brothers to
apply the labels to the bottles on January 20th and 21st. Details will be forthcoming.
Bottles will be returned to the narthex during two weekends in February and more volunteers will be needed.
So you can see that there is plenty of work for a lot of volunteers in our council. GET INVOLVED and it makes for a GREAT
COUNCIL! (Fish fries are just right around the corner and so is our St. Patty's dinner.)
One last thing - we will be resuming our family night the last Friday of the month. Look for a message from Quentin Skinner.
Vivat Jesus,
Mike Artzer; GK

La Esquina del Gran Caballero
LA ESQUINA DEL GRAN CABALLERO
Bueno, ya se nos fué la mitad del Año Colomobino 2014/2015, pero todavía tenemos muchas actividades en
nuestro Consejo para el 2015. Vamos a necesitar muchos voluntaries, como ustedes verán en este mensaje.
Confío en que todos tuvieron una Gran Navidad y un Maravilloso Nuevo Año!
Diciembre estuvo bién cargado. Tuvimos nuestro CAFÉ 107, patrocinado por nuestro Consejo y el desayuno con
Santa Claus. HO! HO! HO! Gracias a nuestros Santas y a todosquienes ayudaron hacienda este gran evento.
PICTURE
Las utilidades del CAFÉ 107 se quedan con nuestro Consejo este mes, con una utilidad de $1,000. Esta es la
mayor cantidad hasta ahora. También hicimos nuestra campaña “Mantenga a Cristo en Navidad” vendiendo pasteles dulces del Monasterio del Espírutu Santo, Conyers, GA.
Hicimos una iniciación de Primer Grado este mes y con la gran ayuda de Doug Hoffman y sus voluntaries,
trajimos 6 nuevos hermanos Caballeros a nuestro Consejo, además de un hermano Caballero re-instalado. Hasta
la fecha tenemos 10 nuevos miembros. Nos faltan 7 más hermanos para iniciar. No paren de reclutar durante el
resto del Año Colombino.
De nuevo, quiero agradecer a todos los hermanos que colaboraron durante el mes de Diciembre. A los voluntaries, pregúntenle a alguien que nos ayude la próxima occasion. La madre de uno d enuestros hermanos dice:
“Muchas manos hacen poco trabajo”.
Ya llegó Enero y trae más actividaes para nuestro Consejo.
Nuestra próxima reunión será el 12 de Enero, los esperamos, inviten su vecino con ustedes.
Uno de nuestros grandes proyectos en Enero será la Campaña de los Biberones de los Niños. Se estarán distribuyendo las botellas de los niños después de todas las misas durante el 24 y 25 de Enero. Necesitamos hermanos Caballeros en el hall después de cada misa para repartirlas y los panfletos con propaganda de esta campaña. Si usted no puede ayudar ese fin de semana, necesitamos Caballeros colocandole los sellos a las botellas
el 20 y 21 de Enero.
Las botellas se devolverán en el hall durante dos fines de semana en Febrero y más voluntarios se necesitarán.
Como pueden ver, hay bastante trabajo por hacer para bastantes voluntarios en nuestro Consejo. INVOLÚCRESE y así ayuda a que SU CONSEJO SEA GRANDE(El pescado frito y la comida de St. Patrick’s ya se
acercan).
Una cosa más- empezaremos la reunión social con las familias el ultimo Viernes del mes. Esperemos el mensaje
de Quentin Skinner.
Vivat Jesus!

Knight’s Social
Help celebrate the New Year by attending the January Social
Social Hall
Friday January 30, 2015 (6:30 PM Socializing-7:00 PM Meal)
6:00 PM Set Up (Could use some help!!!)
All Knights, Wives, & Invited Guests
Please try to respond if attending [email protected] Response helps us plan the meal, Thank you for providing this information.
Enjoy the Winter Season with Traditional Taste of Chili Feast
Green Salad, Crackers, Shredded Cheese, and Soft Drinks will be provided by the Knights
For those with last names starting with A-J please bring deserts or Hors d’ oeuvres (K-Z bring yourself and guests).
This is a BYOB event if you desire something besides soft drinks
Fellow Knights, Wives, and Invited Guests do enjoy the winter season by socializing and joining each other for this
traditional supper event. This is your chance to make a crock pot of your favorite, or a new experimental “CHILI” and
share it with your fellow Knights, Wives, and Guests. Remember Chili is always better the 2nd day so make your choice
and plenty knowing you can take what is left home and enjoy it again as a family meal. Electric outlets arranged on one or
more tables will be available to plug in the crock pots of chili while you socialize. Now if you do not make chili remember
that there is always plenty so do participate and enjoy this event. It is important, because for those who make chili,
they need plenty of tasters as this is the real seasoning that makes for a wonderful dish.
It does appear that this fall and early winter has been busy for the Knights. You have all worked hard to help St.
Brendan celebrate the Christmas and New Year Seasons. Thank You! Thank You!

UPCOMING EXEMPLIFICATIONS
Recruiting New Knights
I want to first thank all of you for assisting in our recruiting efforts for the first half of our Columbian
year. We have recruited 10 new knights with our overall goal of 17. We still need to focus on: "One
Member, Per Month" for the rest of this Columbian year. I am still working on a few prospective candidates from our last recruitment drive, however I need your help with recruiting new knights every
month. Our visibility of wearing our knights badges and shirts at mass and other Saint Brendan’s
functions is very important. We need to walk the walk and talk the talk with every opportunity we
have to gain additional brother knights. We need to also focus on retention and getting those
knights that have not attended meetings or functions to get involved with the council.
UPCOMING EXEMPLIFICATIONS
FIRST DEGREE EXEMPLIFICATION

de los Caballeros de Colón y las camisetas durante las misas y demás funciones de la parroquia,
esa visibilidad es necesaria. Necesitamos practicar lo que predicamos en cada oprtunidad para obtener más hermanos Caballeros. También es necesario enfocarnos en la retención y asistencia de

Please read below.
I encourage every member to meet with me to ensure that you are taking advantage of your benefits

Knights of Columbus Sets Insurance Record
for 14th Consecutive Year
Record Caps Year of Milestones for Catholic Company
The Knights of Columbus recorded its 14th consecutive year of growth in insurance sales with more
than $8.2 billion in new life insurance sold, exceeding more than $96 billion of life insurance in force.
The record sales have led to an increase of nearly $50 billion in the last decade.
“In 133 years of operation, the Knights of Columbus has helped meet the spiritual and financial
needs of Catholic families while also serving the community through charitable works,” said Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. “We are pleased to have had great success on both of these fronts,
which comes from our continued commitment to our founding mission of serving our neighbor consistent with Catholic social teaching. The continued growth in our insurance sales is a testament to
our business model and to our close to 1,400 professional agents, who are the cornerstone of that
model.”
Supreme Knight Anderson explained that record-breaking results mean that the K of C has “helped
its members to protect their families while simultaneously enabling the Knights to support those most
in need and the many works of the Catholic Church.”
This record concludes a year of milestones and accolades for the organization. In March, the
Knights of Columbus was named a 2014 "World's Most Ethical Company" by the Ethisphere Institute, an independent center for research promoting best practices in corporate ethics and governance. It was one of two companies named in the “life insurance” category and one of fewer than 150
total companies worldwide to earn this distinction.
In June, the Knights retained its spot on the Fortune 1000, and earned its 39th consecutive A++, Superior rating for financial strength — the highest rating available — from ratings agency AM Best. No
insurer in North America is more highly rated than the Knights of
Columbus.
The Knights enjoys a stalwart reputation for financial security, has
one of the lowest lapse rates in the industry and offers a product
line designed to provide life insurance, annuities, disability income
and long-term care policies to meet the needs of Catholic families.

TMIY! Week 14 - What Must I Do?
Dear Brother Knights,
That Man Is You! is back! The long wait is over and the spring semester is here. We are looking forward to an amazing semester where God is going to do great things. This semester will focus much more on spirituality whereas last semester was
more theology.
Last semester our eyes were opened to the type of culture we currently find ourselves in, the consequences of failed male
leadership, theological truths that shed light on our situation, and the great battle between good and evil around the world. We
understood how all of this relates specifically to the family. This semester we will learn how to transform ourselves, our families, and society through our intimate union with God.
Hope you had a blessed Christmas season and New Year’s. We cannot wait to get started!
This Session Contains:
Story of Failed Leadership
Saddest Story in the Gospel
What Must I Do to Inherit Eternal Life
Personal Invitation from Christ
The Path of Transformation
Recap of the Spring
