The Mysteries of the Rosary

Until about the 15th century hundreds of mysteries were part of the Rosary devotion then the 15 mysteries that

we know today were definitively fixed as "the Mysteries of the Rosary." Pope John Paul II, in his encyclical,

Rosarium Virginis Mariae, in 2002 added the five Luminous Mysteries.

Through the meditations of the complete Rosary one recalls and has impressed on his mind, the Popes tell us,

"the chief mysteries of the Christian religion," "the mysteries of our Redemption," "the great mysteries of Jesus

and His Mother united in joys, sorrows, and triumphs." The twenty mysteries are divided into four equal groups,

known as "The Joyful," "The Sorrowful," "The Glorious," and "The Luminous Mysteries."

SeptemberFest Water Booth Results: This event was held on Monday, September 5th. at Schaumburg 's

September Fest. We operated two Water Booths there. This was the first time that we were SOLD OUT by 8 PM. Thanks

to some ingenuity by Pete Stresino & Joe Tuccori selling water & Gatorade by the Main stage and among the crowd

using a 2 wheeled dolly and a cooler. Dick Lambke & Pete Skinder deserve a big hand for planning, organizing

and helping us make the Water Booth a Huge success this year. A Tremendous job was done by all.

The Knights Boomer's Game: was held on Tuesday, August 23. Walter Watts was in charge and did a Great job

setting up this family event. It was fairly well attended by our knights and their families. GK Rick Froelich threw out the

first pitch and we supplied the Flag bearing Honor Guard for the Pre-Game National Anthem. The cost was only $5.00 a

person to attend and our council still made money. The following are pictures from that event.

“Everything that is done out of Love acquires greatness and beauty.” – St. Josemaria Escriva

The "Tootsie Roll" ID Drive (Sept. 16th. - 18th., 2016) is now history. Although the forecasts called for

possible showers, the weather co-operated! It was actually sunny and warm out on Saturday afternoon. That had a big

impact on the bottom line. The Final Numbers are not in yet but we are expecting very decent results. The Generous

efforts put out by our Council's Knights, their Wives and Friends helped us attain these results. Many of our Knights

worked double or triple shifts to help meet our goals. "Peter Stresino" once again, worked all day on Friday. The "Elite

Stars" sent us at least 10 Great Volunteers. Pete Skinder's sister Cindy Brettrager, as well as many of our Knights wives.

Dick Lambke, Kevin Thomas and GK Rick Froelich collected money and brought out supplies all day long. This year Ken

Szott's home was affectionately called "Tootsie Roll Central". Al Goy, Rick Froelich, John Vlnka, Bill Clark & Larry Arquilla

assisted in a preliminary money count. The bank has the final say on this for us. Finally, working the streets and store

fronts for 2 days and in front of our three Churches were all the dedicated Volunteers with their milk jugs handing out

"Tootsie Rolls" for the "I.D. drive. Pictured below are merely some of the Great people that tirelessly helped us in the

drive. We thank them and ALL the I.D. Drive recipients Thank them for making their days a little brighter.

Response from Elite Stars (Patti Hermann)to an email that I sent her requesting the names of their volunteers.

Moretti's, Dine to Donate: was Wednesday September 7th. and from all appearances, looks like it was a Huge

Success. Although this event was all day long and a number of Knights and friends came for lunch, at around dinner time

there were at least 20 Knights and their families there. The food was good and the people were friendly. Tom Senese &

Jerry Bromley did a wonderful job organizing & running this "Dine to Donate" event.

The New Website: If you haven't heard, our new Website is up and running. We still have a long way to go but in

comparison to many others, we are light years ahead in setting up. There are a number of different areas where we

could use your help. First of all, look in the members section. You will need to enter your K.O.C. member ID Number that

is on your membership card and your numerical birth date. Quite a few of the members have pictures by their names.

Obviously if you don't, we don't have your picture. If you want us to update or change it, send me your picture & I can

do it for you. Otherwise you can do that yourself by clicking on "update". Also, please check your phone numbers listed

to make sure they are correct. You can change that if you want.

In the "In Memoriam" section are members that have passed on to God's glory. We have tried to include information on

as many former members as possible. However, there are still quite a few that we are having a hard time finding

information on. Please, if you have that info, send it to us if at all possible and we will update that member.

In "Prayer Requests" you personally are allowed to add your own prayer requests. They will automatically stay on the

site for 30 days.

Under "Links of Interest" you can find many areas from our previous Knights of Columbus website. Check it out. Those

links were never lost, just a new way to access them.

If you click on the "Event Calendar" you will see a Calendar with the month's activities & events posted. Very Handy.

If you have any other questions, please send Jim Manfre or John Vlnka an email with them and we will try and answer

them ASAP. Please help us to help you and keep the website updated. Thanks!

Too Old for Coverage? Maybe Not

You are never too young or too old to consider purchasing life insurance. If you have a financial need for

coverage, or will in the future, a permanent life insurance policy can be just the thing you need.

When you are young and presumably healthy, coverage will be very inexpensive when compared to purchasing

the same policies when you are older.

If you’ve put off purchasing coverage, or you realize that you may need additional insurance, the Order may

still be able to help you, even if other companies cannot. In fact, in 2012, the issue age of our permanent life

insurance products was extended to age 80, and in 2014, the issue age of our term insurance was extended to

age 70. Naturally, your health, and whether or not you smoke, will be taken into consideration, so underwriting

standards for risk and age apply. But, the extensions are a great blessing for me – and it could be for you too.

Now I can help members that I couldn’t help before. Are you or one of your brother knights one of those

members?

Whether you’re 18 or 80, the Knights of Columbus has products that will work for you and your family. I look

forward to discussing coverage with you.
