The Columbian© Newsletter Serving the Oregon © The Columbian Newsletter Serving The Oregon Councils of the Knights of Columbus The Bi-Monthly Newsletter of the Oregon State Council of the Knights of Columbus Vol. 113 No. 3 December 2016 - January 2017 Page 1 State Deputy Sid Thiel Brother Knights, Council 9137 We have had a rock start to this year but the last 2 months have become really exciting for membership and programs. We hit some very Sherwood significant numbers for membership but we need to keep up the excellent work. Membership is the life blood of our Order and we need to keep State Chaplain that in our thoughts. What is best about recruiting a new member is that he becomes more informed about our faith and a better Catholic. The Fr. Theo Lange Building the Domestic Church is one of our main goals and we can help Council 15595 achieve this through new members. If you find out what he is passionate Mt. Angel Abbey about and you work that into your Councils, you will have a member for life. State Deputy Sid Thiel At the time this is going to print, our 4th degree will be the Honor Imm. Past SD Guard at the Oregon Special Olympic Winter Games. Special Olympics is Robert Kish one of our main Charities in the KofC. We work at the Summer and Winter games but we need to do more. Look around your local city and county to see what they offer for Special Olympics Council 1785 and get involved. Every year Supreme sends a check to us to present to our State Special Corvallis Olympics and that amount is determined by our man hours and monetary donations, so the more we do the more we receive to give. Several of us have worked at Special Olympic events State Secretary and it is very fulfilling for those who helped. Please consider helping the Special Olympics. In about a week I will be leaving for Orlando, Florida for Supreme’s Midyear meeting Francis Mohr where we will received new information that will help our State grow. This is all in preparation Council 0849 for our Midyear meeting with the DD's and State Officers, so please keep us in your prayers Baker City that we learn well. Last month I and several Officers had the privilege to be present at the Grotto for the Dedication of "The Lady Of Guadalupe Shrine". Looking at the Shrine makes you feel proud to State Treasurer be a Knight for all the hard work and talent it took to complete it. The Knights in the State of Ron Boyce Oregon and the Hispanic population should be commended on their dedication on building and Council 3591 completing this Shrine for all to visit and reflect upon. Please take time out from your busy schedules to visit the Shrine. Tigard Last month our Prolife couple, the Rossetti's, had to step down due to health issues, so keep them in your prayers that the Lord will heal them. He was a wonderful Director and will State Advocate be greatly missed for his dedication and vision. Taking their place as Pro-life Couple are Steve Steve Steele and Yvonne Holthouse and I know they are very dedicated in promoting Life. So if you ever run into them say “Hi” and “Thank you” for becoming the new director. Be on the lookout for Council 6266 more Pro-life information coming from them. Beaverton We have some of the best State Officers, Directors, and Chairmen that we ever had, so reach out them and they will be there to help. Remember we are all but a phone call away.

Theodore Lange The love of Christ urges us on. These words of St. Paul communicate the engine behind our State Chaplain theme this year: Siempre adelante: Always forward. We move forward because God’s love compels us. When we discover the heights, depth, width, and length of God’s love, we then are compelled to share the gift of coming to know and believe in the great love God has for us. We love God then because he first loved us. Our spiritual foundation has been long established as being of Charity, Fraternity, Unity and Patriotism flows from our cooperation with the grace of Divine Love. Love is why we are here and love is our mission! We have the gift and responsibility to invite every Catholic man into the Knights so that they may draw closer to Christ. Therefore it is imperative, Brothers, that we keep our hope in our own journeys of faith and that our Councils clearly and effectively communicate the love of God. We can only be faithful to this mission if we work together and run so as to win…keeping our eyes on the prize, that is Christ Jesus Our Lord! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and blessed Advent and Christmas season—by keeping Christ in Christmas. Finally, have a Happy New Year and may 2017 be everything you hope. Vivat Jesus, Your servant and Brother Fr. Theodore Lange Oregon State Chaplain Vol. 113 No. 3 December 2016 - January 2017 Page 3 State Advocate’s Message My Brothers all, As we get closer to the end of the calendar year, I pray each one of you and your families enjoy the Advent season and that you all grow closer to our Lord and Savior. Steve Steele State Advocate Hopefully, this does not come as a surprise, but we are just over 6 months away from the State Convention to be held in Bend. With that said, it is time for you and your Councils to once again be thinking about any resolutions you may wish to bring to the State. Below are the procedures for submitting a resolution. It was taken from the State by-laws, which can be found on the State Website. Section 13. The State Deputy shall appoint the Resolution Committee and notify same in writing not later than 120 days prior to the date of the State Council meeting (Convention). The Chairman of said committee is to be the State Advocate with five additional members. Resolutions for consideration by the committee shall be submitted not later than ninety days prior to the scheduled date of the State Council meeting (Convention). All resolutions shall be prepared in triplicate. The original to be mailed to the State Advocate and copies to the State Deputy and State Secretary. The State Advocate shall forward copies of all resolutions to the members of the committee for review and consideration. A copy of a resolution with the recommendations of the Resolutions Committee shall be mailed to every Grand Knight of an Oregon Council thirty days prior to the State Convention. Additional copies shall be distributed to all State Officers and accredited delegates at the opening session of the State Council meeting. In the event of no resolution being received, notice of it is to be sent as prescribed as if there were resolutions. Section 14. The Resolutions Committee shall meet between sixty and ninety days prior to the annual meeting of the State Council to review resolutions and make recommendations. Thank you all for everything you do for the Knights here in Oregon! I am Blessed to be part of such a fantastic organization! Vivat Jesus, Steve Steele Knights of Columbus Oregon State Advocate 503-789-2599 A Resolution Committee meeting. Vol. 113 No. 3 December 2016 - January 2017 Page 4 Council In Action KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS LAUNCH A MOBILE ULTRASOUND UNIT Article submitted by: Larry Mullaly, Council 11258 On Saturday, September 17th, a beaming Cyndi Bright, Director of the Medford, Oregon, Pregnancy Center accepted the formal transfer of a $28,100 check for a mobile ultrasound machine from local area Knights of Columbus Councils. Of the total amount, half was raised in a successful Baby-Bottle Boomerang fund-raising project conducted by Knights at Council 11258, Central Point Shepherd of the Valley Parish, Council 1594 Medford Sacred Heart Parish, and Council 13407, Ashland Our Lady of the Mount Parish. Additionally, the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council provided a matching grant of $14,050 dollars. Fund raising was part of a larger regional effort with other Christian communities who contributed the dollars needed to purchase the new Medical “Stork Bus.” The mobile van and ultrasound unit significantly expand ultrasound services in the cause of the unborn to un-served areas of Jackson County. The ceremony was attended by Knights, family members and parishioners, and featured a blessing of the ultrasound machine and mobile van by Knights of Columbus Chaplain Fr. Justus Alaeto. The new unit adds to and complements a stationary ultrasound machine contributed to the Pregnancy Center by the Knights of Columbus in 2011. In letter to the Pregnancy Center, Supreme Knight Carl Anderson affirmed: “ultrasound technology opens a window into the womb and dramatically shows the humanity of the unborn, even to the doubting eyes of those who may not have previously shared our regard for the sanctity of unborn human life.” To date, the Knights of Columbus have contributed nearly 1,000 ultrasound machines to pro-life centers throughout the United States and Canada.

We Council 3484 have the Canby Council saving the St. Patrick’s Parish a huge chunk of money by providing skill and labor in maintaining the parish grounds. The McMinnville Council is also providing skill and Canby labor to the St. James Parish by repairing the sidewalks and landscape around the parish grounds too. These two Councils are showing all of us how to partner with our parishes to help them save money. I also can’t leave out my beloved Tigard Council who spent four weekends Imm.
