Fraternally Yours, Grand Knight’s Message

Dear Brother Knights,

I want to thank all of the Brother Knights that volunteered to help with the numerous events that we held in September. We started with the Blue Mass on the 8th and the White House retreat on the 14th. The tootsie roll drive was a success because of the help from the volunteers on the weekend of the 15th. The Family Picnic on the 24th was an enjoyable event, even if it was a little hotter than recent years. I hope everyone had a good time.

I want to share an update on the Council and the Home Corporation, a contractor has been selected for the addition on the new meeting room and construction will begin once building permits are issued. The addition will be on the east side of the north end of the building, providing a dedicated meeting room for Council activities.

Fraternally yours,Brian K Colwell, Grand Knight

Major Degree InitiationWhen was the last time you attended a ma-jor degree? Was it your own initiation? Was that twenty, thirty or maybe forty years ago? Why not take an afternoon and renew your pledges of Charity, Unity and Fraternity and see the changes in the major degree ceremony that have occurred over the years. Even though there have been some changes, the principal is still the same.The officers here at Council #665 invite you to the next major degree initiation on Sun-day November 05, 2017 at the Effingham Council meeting room. Registration is at 11:00 a.m. with the first degree starting at noon, with all three degrees being complet-ed by approximately 5:00 p.m. A light meal will be served after the Knighting ceremony.Please consider attending and why not bring a candidate with you. A Catholic gen-tleman, that you think would make a good Knight, which would help strengthen our council with new and young member' s. We need to bring in new members if we want our council to be here for the generations to come. With deaths, suspensions and transfers our council has slowly been going down in numbers. We must stay strong in members for all the work the Knights do for the Catholic Church: Vocations, Intellectual Disabilities, Special Olympics, Newman Centers and the General Assistance Fund. So please get involved with your council, come to the initiation and bring a candidate to help our council grow and show him how great it is to be a Brother Knight. Thank You from the Officers of Council #665.

VETERANS GRAVE SITESThe Effingham Knights of Columbus Fourth Degree Assembly will be placing American flags on the Veterans grave in St Anthony Cemetery on Veterans Day & Memorial Day. The parish office has records of deceased veterans from 1960 to the present. We want to honor all the veterans, so if you have a family member or relative that served in the military and is buried in St Anthony Cemetery prior to 1960, please contact Don Niebrugge at 217-342-9469 with information on approximate location of the grave such as the NE, NW, SE, or SW area.

What can I do to help end abor-tion? PRAY, FAST, and SERVEPart 1 – PrayGo to a Church or the Hospital Chapel for an hour of dedicated prayer on these 2 dates:Oct 21, 2017 • 8:00 am to 5:00 pmOct 22, 2017 • 8:00 am to 5:00 pmThe Effingham Knights of Colum-bus have chosen the dates above during the 40 days of prayer to end abortion. Call 342-6985 to see if you can cover an hour or so on either of these days.Part 2 – FastPrayer and fasting throughout the 40 days is encouraged. “We believe that when God’s people fast with a broken, repentant and contrite spirit, our heavenly Father will hear from heaven and heal our lives, our churches, our communities, our na-tion, and our world.” (www.40days-forlife.com)Part 3 – Serve at the Silk Purse Thrift StoreJoin with the Family Life Center’s Silk Purse Thrift Store in Effingham for an hour or more. Volunteers help prepare donated items for sale. All proceeds from the Silk Purse go directly to the Family Life Center, our local crisis pregnancy center. Clients at the Center participate in classes learning parenting tools and then earning “Mommy Dollars” and “Dadz Bucks”. They use these dollars and bucks at the Silk Purse to purchase items needed for their families.Please contact Richard J. Feldhake 217-821-6985 for more informa-tion. Why focus on thanks? Because God has been listening! On August

30th, 2016, Planned Parenthood permanently closed the doors of their Effingham office. Praise God!Organized prayer to end abortion and to close our local Planned Parenthood office started four years ago. Since then, hundreds of people have prayed in their home, at their church, and in front of the Planned Parenthood building. Thank God! Thank you to all who have prayed! What a great example of the power of prayer!Why is this closure so important? The Planned Parenthood (PP) office served as a referral center for abor-tions and was the face of abortion in our community. Life and death decisions about unborn children were being made there.Nationally, PP is the largest abor-tion provider in the US, ending over 320,000 innocent lives each year. Abortion is an enormous source of revenue for them. They require all of their affiliates to have at least one clinic that performs abortions. PP vigorously opposes every proposed common sense law regarding abor-tions – parental notification, waiting periods, improved health standards at clinics, etc. They even defended partial birth abortion! To learn more, search “USCCB Planned Parenthood” on the internet.What’s next? Even as we thank God for this great blessing, remember that our work is far from done. We must re-dedicate ourselves to pray and work for an end to abortion, strengthened by this recent good news. Take time to learn about the life saving gifts the Family Life Cen-ter offers our community. Call 217-342-5433 to schedule a tour, or visit their website at www.familylifepcc.org. Please join us as we pray, fast, and serve to end abortion.

This campaign is in solidarity with the international “40 Days for Life” campaign.

The young men with Greg Koester and Rick Johnson visited the Cathedral Basilica followed by a trip to Kennrick-Glennon Seminary for a tour by Seminarian Bill and attended Mass with all of the seminarians. Before and after Mass, the boys were able to visit with Michael Trummer, Dominic Vahling and Michael Meinhart for a few minutes. Michael Meinhart was also able to join us at the ball game.The young ladies with Gerald Will and Barb Carie visited the Daughters of Charity, St. Louise Prov-ince. Sister Mary Catherine Dunn, D.C. and other

Sisters at the Provincial House talked with the girls about their journey to a Religious Vocation and the many things the Sisters do in the name of charity. While they are Sisters. Many of them have “jobs” such as teachers, nurses, administrators or directors of charitable organizations. The girls also visited the Cathedral Basilica for a tour and Mass. The group then took in a Cardinals ballgame followed by a visit to the Knights in Highland for hot dogs and hamburgers and playground time to stretch their legs and burn off some energy. Thank you Highland Knights and thank you to Fr. Edgar, yes he was still helping us put this together, for his help and to the teachers, principals and chaperones who keep everything in order on the trip.
