In place of a tuxedo with a black bow tie, members will be wearing a blue blazer, an official Knights of Columbus tie and a beret, all with the fourth-degree emblem on them, along with a white shirt and dark gray slacks. There was no mention if the swords would remain part of the uniform. “The board of directors has decided that the time is right for a modernization of the fourth-degree uniform,” Anderson said. “On a limited basis, assemblies may choose to continue using the traditional cape and chapeau for color corps at public events and honor guards in liturgical processions. However, the preferred dress for the fourth degree, including color corps and honor guards, is the new uniform of jacket and beret.” (CNS photo/Knights of Columbus) August 2017 Events Schedule WRC 7 Perpetual Help, Rapid City.

(Original Signed) In his teachings Father McAlear often remarks that what unites all mankind is suffering, brokenness, hurt, fears. Pain is universal. These are all the sad legacy of sin. Jesus had a Most Rev. Robert D. Gruss deep compassion for sick and hurting people. He knew their hearts; He could see their Bishop of Rapid City wounds and hear their cry. He brought healing as a needed gift, to forgive sin and to heal the broken world. Margaret S.

The Acts of the Apostles records many healings and miracles worked at the hands of the Apostles in Jesus’ name. Jesus is indeed Lord of all, Savior of the World, and Healer of both body and soul. Similarly to the Apostles and many others throughout the centuries, Father McAlear has an extraordinary gift from Christ, through which he has brought countless people to healing of body, mind and spirit. He is a man in love with God and in love with the people of God! Come, “all you who labor and are burdened” (Mt 11:28), come experience a priest who loves and ministers as Jesus did.

They have been with the ministry since its inception in 1973. Construction on the building began in 1976 and Jesuit priests moved in during the spring of 1977. With the approval of Bishop Robert Gruss, a committee was established to look at the purpose of the center and to create a new Vision Statement with values and behaviors. The com- mittee consisted of people who have knowledge of the SSC or those who utilize the center on a regular basis. Serving on the committee were: Dcn. Marlon Leneaugh, chairperson, Veronica Valandra, secretary, then-Fr. Steve Biegler, Fr. Ron Seminara, Ben Black Bear III and his wife Jenny, Rosie Roach, and Bill White. The committee referred to itself as the Sioux Spiritual Center Planning Team (SSCPT). 4 The first meeting was held in May of 2016. Given the scope of work it was decided that 1 the committee would have their assigned task completed before the January 2017 Sioux Spiritual Center Board of Directors meeting. The meetings of the SSCPT resulted in a new Purpose Statement, Values and Behaviors and a new Vision Statement. The Purpose Statement reads: The Sioux Spiritual Center exists to support Lakota and other native peoples in providing a sacred place to pray, to form disciples of Jesus Christ and to grow as holy and healthy leaders of an inculturated church, who will seek to reconcile, heal and build relationships within the communities of the church.

August 2017 WRC 23 ‘Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear’ Totus Tuus Boys camp was held July 24-28 at Terra Sancta. This year’s theme was “Fearless: Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear,” based on John 4:18. Sixty-four boys, grades seven through high school, participated in games, campfires, swimming, Mass, and adoration. They also listened to vocations talks from 10 priests, had the opportunity for confession, and attended Mass with Bishop Robert Gruss celebrating. In addition to young adult leaders, five seminarians led the group. (Left) Campers spent a day at Sylvan lake rock climbing, kayaking, hiking, and swimming. (Photo courtesy Jacques Daniel)
