Grand Knights Report

Dear Brother Knights and Families

Like the late Jackie Gleason used to say; “And away we go!” Many years ago I heard a phase from my sister which I’ll use here: We are “off like a herd of turtles” into a new Fraternal year. First I would like to express my gratitude to each of you for the opportunity to be your Grand Knight for another year. My first goal is to improve on our last year’s record in the area of recruiting and insurance. I would like to thank outgoing DGK Gerald Fey and Warden Bill Daniels for their hard work and dedication to this council; I know they will continue to be an asset to us.

Please help me welcome our incoming officers:

Dan Stift – Deputy Grand Knight Inside Guard - Gary Cabigon Chancellor – Bill Bailey Outside Guard – Tom Masterson Recorder – Steve Boswell Outside Guard – Roger Moore Treasurer – Pat Quinn One Year Trustee – Ed Rzeszotarski Advocate – Carl Mangine Two Year Trustee – Roy Stuart Warden – Dave Dumas Three Year Trustee- Ramiro Rodriquez

Please join us for the installation of officers at 5:30pm on Friday, July the 8th .

Many thanks to Deacon George Vick and Larry Gladu for attending the State Convention. Look for their report later in this newsletter.

On July 4th, join your Brother Knights and their families to watch the parade and stay to enjoy the family day activities at the hall. See you all there!

There will be a Major Degree Exemplification (Second and Third Degree) on August 6 – Council 7965 St. Helena in San Antonio. If you or someone you know needs to advance in their degrees, please let David Dumas or myself know. This would be an excellent opportunity to advance your Knighthood degree. Candidates cost will be paid by the Council. At this time, it looks like our Knights Choir will be singing for the morning Mass. Let’s get as many people as possible to come and get their 2nd and 3rd degrees at this time.

I would like to thank everyone for your continued hard work and dedication in our council activities. Every member’s assistance and participation makes a difference. Thank you!

Congratulations to the Knight of the Month for June – Ed Rzeszotarski Congratulations to the Family of the Month for May – Jerry and Rita Kirstein Congratulations to the Family of the Month for June – Carl and Lydia Sanders

Let us pray, Jesus, Mary & Joseph, the Holy Family, Guide Us. Mike Foxworth, Grand Knight

Mother Teresa Assembly No. 2523

Message from the Faithful Navigator of Assembly 2523

Our Assembly Officers’ Election was held during the June Monthly Business Meeting with Installation of Officers on July 18th at 6:30P.M. at the Council 6358 Hall, in lieu of our regular monthly meeting. There will be a $5.00 per plate charge for the meal. The Comptroller will begin taking reservations from now until Noon, Friday, July 8th.

After having the privilege of being your Assembly Navigator for the past 3 years, I want to thank each and every Sir Knight and his Lady for the confidence they had in me for this office. Having been the F. Navigator for 3 years, it is time for “New Blood” to lead your Assembly; I decided to not run for re-election for a 4th term. Also, this will be my last “Navigator’s Corner” for the Newsletter and I am waiting to read the Newsletter in July that will be written by your newly elected F. Navigator, SK Melroy Brandt. SK Brandt has been a Brother Knight since 1960 and a Sir Knight since 2005 from which he has a wealth of K of C experience to “Navigate” your Assembly into the future.

The Installation of Officers Ceremony and Banquet will be held at the Hall on Monday, July 18th with the Social Time beginning at 6:30P.M. The Installation of Officers Ceremony will begin at 7:15P.M., with the Banquet to follow. There will be a $5.00 per person charge with the deadline for making the Reservation/Payment is Noon, Friday, July 8th at the Hall. . At this time, we are planning for Finger Food for the social period, and for the Dinner: Club Steaks, a garden salad, 2 vegetables, and tea and cobbler pie. Hopefully, between now and the meal, the wholesale price of beef will not go up so much that we are priced out of the market. Please come out and support the new officers who will be installed into office for the 2011- 2012 Fraternal Year. Dress for this occasion will be a Tux for those Sir Knights who will be installed into office with Church appropriate dress for the Membership and their Lady.

The Sir Knights who were elected as Assembly officers at the June meeting are listed below.

The following Sir Knights are celebrating their Birthday in the month of July, 2011: Michael Rademacher, Bill Ohler, Richard Henke, Jose Galindo, Bill Coad, Rudy Holguin, Rodric Morrogh, Donald Sladky, Roger Moreau, Jack Perry, Mark Delaney and Ed Higgs. To these Sir Knights, we wish them a very happy day to celebrate their birth and that they look forward to having many more.

DIVINE MERCY MOMENT: Jesus said to St. Faustina, "From all My wounds, like from streams, mercy flows for souls, but the wound in My Heart is the fountain of unfathomable mercy. From this fountain spring all graces for souls. The flames of compassion burn Me. I desire greatly to pour them out upon souls. Speak to the whole world about My mercy. (Diary 1190)

Knights Choir The Knights Choir will sing on Sunday, July 17, 2011 at Good Shepherd Church at the 8AM Mass. Rehearsal is at 7:15AM. We are looking forward for more Knights to join us. Interested, contact Larry Gladu, PGK 210-659-3187

Lectors Commentary July 2011 Deacon Elmer T. Fernandez As we are fast approaching the implementation of the New Roman Missal it is very important for us to make ourselves aware of the changes so we can fully participate in the celebration of the Holy Mass in our parish. The next several months we will feature the changes in the newsletter. The following is taken from an interview with Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond (Archbishop of New Orleans): The Roman Missal, Third Edition, the ritual text containing prayers and instructions for the celebration of the Mass, is now being prepared for publication. In the United States, seven publishers will publish ritual editions. The Roman Missal will be implemented in the United States of America on the First Sunday of Advent, November 27, 2011. Pope John Paul II announced a revised version of the Missale Romanum during the Jubilee Year 2000. Among other things, the revised edition of the Missale Romanum contains prayers for the observances of recently canonized saints, additional prefaces for the Eucharistic Prayers, additional Votive Masses and Masses and Prayers for Various Needs and Occasions, and some updated and revised rubrics (instructions) for the celebration of the Mass. The English translation of the Roman Missal will also include updated translations of existing prayers, including some of the well-known responses and acclamations of the people. The entire Church in the United States has been blessed with this opportunity to deepen its understanding of the Sacred Liturgy, and to appreciate its meaning and importance in our lives. Parishes should now be in the planning process for the implementation, with a goal toward executing that plan in the coming months. The parish’s leadership and various sectors of the parish community should be catechized to receive the new translation. Musicians and parishioners alike should soon be learning the various new and revised musical settings of the Order of Mass.

Frequently Asked Questions from the USCCB website: (http://www.usccb.org/romanmissal) 1. Why was there a need for a new translation? The Missale Romanum (Roman Missal), the ritual text for the celebration of the Mass, was promulgated by Pope Paul VI in 1970 as the definitive text of the reformed liturgy of the Second Vatican Council. That Latin text, the editio typica (typical edition), was translated into various languages for use around the world; the English edition was published in the United States in 1973. The Holy See issued a revised text, the editio typica altera, in 1975. Pope John Paul II promulgated the third edition (editio typica tertia) of the Missale Romanum during the Jubilee Year in 2000. Among other things, the third edition contains prayers for the celebration of recently canonized saints, additional prefaces for the Eucharistic Prayers, additional Masses and Prayers for Various Needs and Intentions, and some updated and revised rubrics (instructions) for the celebration of the Mass. To aid the process of translation of the Missale Romanum, editio typica tertia, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments issued Liturgiam Authenticam, in 2001, an Instruction on the vernacular translation of the Roman Liturgy which outlines the principles and rules for translation. In 2007, the Congregation for Divine Worship issued the Ratio Translationis for the English Language, which outlined the specific rules for translation in English. Frequently Asked Questions will continue next month……….

Council Activity – William Bailey, PGK, Director,

107th Texas State Council Knights of Columbus State Convention Dallas, Texas May 13-15. 2011 As usual there were a long list of reports in the booklet and the chairmen of each committee got up and hit the high lights of these reports. Boring, but sometimes they would hit some point that was of interest. We had Mass both Sat., morning and Sunday Morning. The Archbishop of Dallas was on Saturday and The Cardinal was on Sunday. There were seven other Bishops there also along with seven priests. Of the 700 plus councils in Texas there were 328 represented. 253 had two delegates and 75 only had one delegate. This was an off year so all the Officers were reelected by acclamation with the exception of the Warden, which was vacant because of the death of Joe Maresca who was the Warden. There was only one candidate, Mark Evans, for his replacement so he was elected by acclamation. Next year’s Convention will be in Houston and will be held at the Hilton Americas Hotel. It will be April 27, 28, & 29, 2012. This will be the election year and may be a more contested election. It was announced that the Supreme Convention will be in San Antonio in 2013. To host one of these conventions is a lot of work and I know that the host will be calling on all of us for help. The last time it was here some of us worked on it and we started about 14 months before it was to be held with monthly planning meetings. Deacon George Vick
