The Knight Line Newsletter for St. Ignatius of Loyola Council Holy Family Parish, 4848 Pearl Ave., San Jose, CA 95136 Issue 106; November 2014 Founder: John Marks Editor: Gary Miskimon Grand Knight’s Korner Change It may not be too long that nature’s mastery of visual arts will be on display around us again. Some are in odd shaped leafless twisted twigs, not because of drought. Leaves, fruits and berries in vibrant colors of many shades are quite attractive. Among these colors, orange is my choice, which according to symbolism I read, stimulates creativity, promotes enthusiasm, relieves boredom and breaks the monotony of life’s daily grind. Orange is associated with luck, warmth of the sun and is a healing color. As in the case of pumpkins already in display in many places, it has the sign of gentle attractiveness. It stimulates creativity and you will find how and why it does. On Sunday Oct 19 we had our annual Knights of Columbus Family Mass, celebrated by the Council’s Chaplain, Fr. Edsil Ortiz, and attended by many members of our Council wearing their nametags and a few others from other Council. Some of our brother Knights and their wives served that day in the liturgical ministries. Members of Portola Assembly’s Color Corps, visible in full regalia, helped and were introduced by the Lector during the mass, Bro Gary Miskimon, PGK. Outside the church stood a fourpost canopy, displaying the brilliant colors of red, white and blue and big signs reading “Caballeros de Colon” and “Knights of Columbus”. These colors comprise our national flag, through which Knights express their patriotism, love of country and of one nation under God. Council Leadership Grand Knight Ed Cruz CHAPLAIN Fr.

Change    It  may  not  be  too  long  that  nature’s  mastery  of  visual  arts  will  be  on  display  around  us  again.    Some  are  in  odd  shaped  leafless  twisted  twigs,  not  because  of  drought.    Leaves,  fruits  and  berries  in  vibrant  colors  of  many  shades  are  quite  attractive.    Among  these  colors,  orange  is  my  choice,  which  according  to  symbolism  I  read,  stimulates  creativity,  promotes  enthusiasm,  relieves  boredom  and  breaks  the  monotony  of  life’s  daily  grind.    Orange  is  associated  with  luck,  warmth  of  the  sun  and  is  a  healing  color.    As  in  the  case  of  pumpkins  already  in  display  in  many  places,  it  has  the  sign  of  gentle  attractiveness.  It  stimulates  creativity  and  you  will  find  how  and  why  it  does.        On  Sunday  Oct  19  we  had  our  annual  Knights  of  Columbus  Family  Mass,  celebrated  by  the  Council’s  Chaplain,  Fr.  Edsil  Ortiz,  and  attended  by  many  members  of  our  Council  wearing  their  nametags  and  a  few  others  from  other  Council.  Some  of  our  brother  Knights  and  their  wives  served  that  day  in  the  liturgical  ministries.    Members  of  Portola  Assembly’s  Color  Corps,  visible  in  full  regalia,  helped  and  were  introduced  by  the  Lector  during  the  mass,  Bro  Gary  Miskimon,  PGK.    Outside  the  church  stood  a  four-­‐post  canopy,  displaying  the  brilliant  colors  of  red,  white  and  blue  and  big  signs  reading  “Caballeros  de  Colon”  and  “Knights  of  Columbus”.    These  colors  comprise  our  national  flag,  through  which  Knights  express  their  patriotism,  love  of  country  and  of  one  nation  under  God.

Brother  Gary  Herbst,  Council  Church  Director,  coordinated  the  Mass  schedule,  invited  the  seminarians  and  secured  the  canopy  from  the  San  Jose  Chapter  of  the  Knights,  through  Bro  Ralph  Manfredo.    The  seminarians  couldn’t  attend  the  Mass  due  to  conflict  of  schedules,  but  they  are  invited  to  the  Italian  Dinner  on  Oct  25.    Bro  Gary  also  set  up  recruiting  materials  under  the  canopy  with  help  from  brother  Knights  and  the  Columbiettes.  It  was  an  opportunity  for  the  Columbiettes  to  show  their  new  banner  beside  ours.      Displays  posted  by  Brad  Vandehey,  PGK,  informed  the  parish  of  the  Council’s  activities/achievements  through  significantly  informative  photographs.  We  now  plan  to  update  our  photo  display  and  renew  the  poster  boards.    The  event  informed  potential  new  members  and  we  have  seeded  new  ground  for  the  future.  We  raised  awareness  to  many  parishioners,  male  and  female,  young  and  old,  believers  and  not  so  believers  as  well.      Looking  back,  there  was  a  suggestion  from  Dolores  Davis,  a  member  of  the  Columbiettes  that  we  could  have  asked  those  Knights  in  the  church  after  Mass  to  stand  up.  We  could  have  asked  those  who  knew  of  the  organization  to  stand  up  and  those  who  wanted  to  know  more  about  it  could  have  been  directed  to  the  canopy  outside  the  church.  We  could  have  identified  those  who  been  Knight  for  over  5,  10,  15,  or  25  years  and  those  who  were  brand  new.    Thanks  Dolores,  next  time  we  will  integrate  these  great  suggestions.    The  Family  Mass  was  well  attended  and  our  recruiting  had  a  good  start  -­‐  we  will  do  it  again,  and  better.  I  thank  all  of  the  K  of  C  families  who  joined  us.    Many  thanks  to  our  pastor,  Fr.  Hao  Dinh,  Council  Chaplain  Fr.  Edsil  Ortiz,  and  our  brother  Knights  who  served  in  the  Liturgy,  including  Brothers  Joseph  Pileggi,  Eugene  Okafor,  Gary  Miskimon,  Gary  Herbst,  Brad  Vandehey  and  Toby  Laufer,  as  well  as  other  Council  members,  their  wives,  Nita  Cruz,  president  of  the  Columbiettes  and  her  members,  for  their  effort,  time  and  creativity  to  realize  this  event.  Thanks  to  the  members  of  Portola  Color  Corps,  SKs  Tony  Colombo,  Gary  Norby  and  Ed  Cruz,  as  the  were  a  visible  reminder  of  the  Knights  of  Columbus  to  all  those  attending.    My  apology  to  those  I  missed,  what  you  have  done  reflects  the  goodness  of  your  heart.      Vivat  Jesus,    Ed  Cruz  Grand  Knight      

Chaplain’s  Message            

   

The  true  meaning  of  life  will  be  found  beyond  loving  ourselves  and  taking  care  of  our  own  

families.    Depression  is  one  of  the  concrete  indicators  that  people  don’t  feel  that  they  are  loved  and  cared  for.    According  to  the  US  Centers  for  Disease  Control  &  Prevention,  one  in  ten  US  adults  suffer  from  depression.    In  fact,  many  people  that  you  know  are  actually  suffering  from  depression.    They  are  in  the  crowd  but  are  still  feeling  isolated,  not  loved  and  not  understood.  More  and  more  people  are  deeply  longing  for  people  who  would  truly  love  and  care  for  them,  as  they  are.  If  this  trend  continues,  we  will  be  living  in  a  very  sick  society,  where  people  suffer  isolation  and  depression  but  are  left  alone  to  loving  themselves.      Jesus  in  Matthew  22:24-­‐40  reminds  us  of  the  supreme  value  of  loving  God  and  loving  our  neighbors  as  ourselves.  Whether  we  like  it  or  not,  in  the  end  we  will  realize  that  the  true  meaning  of  life  will  be  found  beyond  loving  ourselves  and  taking  care  of  our  own  families.  God  wants  us  to  do  more  in  the  area  of  loving  our  fellow  human  beings,  especially  the  deprived,  exploited  and  marginalized  in  our  society.        The  teaching  on  loving  God  is  found  in  the  Book  of  Deuteronomy.    Loving  other  human  beings  like  ourselves  is  found  in  the  Book  of  Leviticus.    In  the  Hebrew  Bible  the  teaching  on  loving  God  and  our  neighbors  are  dichotomized  and  are  treated  separately.  Fortunately,  when  Jesus  came,  He  integrated  the

teachings  on  love  of  God  and  the  love  of  neighbor.    It  is  very  unchristian  to  only  love  ourselves  and  only  take  care  of  our  own.    In  fact,  loving  God  and  others  became  very  visible  in  the  manner  Jesus  lived,  in  the  way  he  related  with  and  cared  for  others.    In  other  words,  loving  God  and  neighbor  can  never  again  be  separated.    Those  who  claim  they  love  the  Lord  must  also  make  sure  they  truly  love  and  care  for  others  as  prescribed  in  the  Sacred  Scriptures.    Loving  others  is  a  concrete  manifestation  or  indication  of  our  love  for  God.      I  remember,  when  Mother  Teresa  of  Calcutta  was  awarded  the  Nobel  Peace  Prize  in  1979,  said,  “How  can  you  love  God  whom  you  do  not  see,  if  you  do  not  love  your  neighbor  whom  you  see,  whom  you  touch,  with  whom  you  live.”    Mother  Teresa  also  mentioned  Saint  John,  who  said,  “Anyone  who  says  he  loves  God  but  does  not  show  it  in  loving  his  fellow  human  beings  is  a  liar.”    For  Mother  Teresa,  loving  God  begins  where  we  are  and  where  people  are  in  the  present.      Let  us  be  inspired  by  the  examples  of  Jesus  and  Mother  Teresa  of  Calcutta  to  strive  towards  making  the  gospel  become  a  reality  in  our  midst.    In  the  end,  we  will  be  judged  not  according  to  how  much  we  loved  ourselves,  but  on  how  much  we  have  loved  God  and  neighbors.    Let  us  not  just  be  hearers  of  the  Word  of  God,  let  us  make  the  Word  of  God  alive  in  the  manner  we  live,  especially  in  the  manner  we  deal  with  our  fellow  human  beings.      God’s  blessings  to  you  and  your  family  always!      Father  Edsil  N.  Ortiz        Still  Studying  The  Issues  To  Decide  How  To  Vote  This  Tuesday?          Learn  About  Issues  Affecting  Catholics        Go  To:            http://www.USCCB.Org/Issues-­‐And-­‐Action/Faithful-­‐Citizenship/Forming-­‐Consciences-­‐For-­‐Faithful-­‐Citizenship-­‐Part-­‐One.Cfm.

HOLY  FAMILY  PHOTO  DIRECTORY?    Do  you  regularly  see  people  at  Mass  and  say  “hello”  but  don’t  know  their  name?    Do  you  sometimes  have  a  hard  time  recalling  the  face  of  anew  (or  old)  fellow  Knight?    To  help  connect  names  with  faces  our  parish  is  updating  the  Photo  Directory.    Lifetouch  will  photograph  families  on  select  days  and  times  from  Nov.  12  –  30.  Each  participating  family  will  receive  a  free  8x10  portrait  and  a  free  directory.    You  will,  of  course,  have  opportunities  to  purchase  additional  photos/  poses,  just  as  all  yearbooks  permit.      BUT,  have  you  signed  up  for  your  photo  session?    No  photos  shot,  no  free  book  and  you  (and  your  brother  Knights)  will  stay  in  the  dark(room).          We  hope  to  see  all  Knights  of  Columbus  members  and  families  as  well  as  our  Columbiettes  in  this  “yearbook”  for  2014.        Relic  of  St.  John  Paul  II  When  Pope  John  Paul  II  was  beatified  on  May  1,  2011,  the  Catholic  News  Agency  reported  that:  “a  popular  church  in  the  Quiapo  district  of  Manila  has  put  a  relic  of  Blessed  John  Paul  on  display  for  people  to  venerate.    ‘Immediately  after  the  last  Mass…  in  honor  of  Pope  John  Paul  II,  we  will  have  one  of  his  relics  venerated  and  kissed  by  the  devotees,’  said  Monsignor  Jose  Clemente  Ignacio,  the  parish  priest  of  the  Minor  Basilica  of  the  Black  Nazarene.    This  relic  is  a  piece  of  cloth  taken  from  one  of  the  Pope's  cassocks.”          Holy  Family  was  recently  given  a  relic  of  St.  John  Paul  II,  with  a  certificate  dated  24  Apr  2014,  thanks  to  Msgr.  Jose  Ignacio,  nephew  of  HF  parishioner  Nita  Cruz  and  President  of  the  Columbiettes.  The  entire  parish  is  grateful  for  this  special  gift,  which  was  on  display  within  our  church  the  final  week  of  October.

 Fraternal  Benefits  Report  

 LTC  Is  an  Important  Piece  of  the  Puzzle  

 There  are  many  financial  consultants  and  retirement  authorities  that  emphasize  the  need  for  a  long-­‐term  care  (LTC)  product  for  estate  preservation  and  family  protection.    While  many  life  insurance  companies  have  gotten  out  of  the  long-­‐term  care  business,  the  Knights  of  Columbus  considers  LTC  a  very  important  piece  of  the  family  protection  puzzle.    The  Order  has  been  actively  offering  our  members  this  product  for  nearly  15  years  without  a  premium  increase  on  current  policyholders.    Members  who  wisely  purchased  an  LTC  plan  from  the  Knights  in  2000  are  still  paying  the  same  premiums  today.    Even  better,  our  LTC  coverage  is  backed  by  the  full  strength  of  the  Order,  which  remains  rooted  in  our  strong  Catholic  values.    Talk  about  stability  when  it  counts.      If  we  have  not  spoken  about  your  need  for  LTC  coverage  in  your  family  portfolio,  please  take  some  time  out  of  your  schedule  to  meet  with  me.      Remember,  long-­‐term  care  policies  are  underwritten  based  on  your  health,  and  you  most  likely  will  never  be  any  healthier  than  you  are  today.      Jonathan  Chiem,  MDRT,  FICF  Phone:            (408)  608-­‐9706E-­‐Mail:        [email protected]          

Family  Mass    Knights  volunteered  for  most  of  the  liturgical  ministry  positions  at  our  annual  Family  Mass  –  this  year  on  October  19th  at  the  11:15  mass.    Our  Council  Chaplain,  Fr.  Edsil  was  the  celebrant  and  he  recognized  the  services  the  Knights  have  provided  to  the  parish  in  many  areas.            

 Br.  Gary  Herbst  arranged  most  of  the  mass  activities  and  also  worked  to  have  the  Chapter’s  special  canopy  available,  through  Br.  Ralph  Manfredo,  for  recruiting  of  Knights  and  Columbiettes  following  the  mass.          

SK  Tony  Colombo,  SK  Gary  Norby  and  his  wife,  Fr.  Hao  Dinh,  Nita  Cruz  and  Michael  Emery  check  out  the  recruiting  effort.      

 Brad  Vandehey,  Howard  Davis  and  Toby  Laufer  discuss  three  of  our  Program  Areas  and  ways  to  improve  the  display,  as  suggested  by  Dolores  Davis.

Santa  Teresita  is  east  of  Pasadena,  in  the  Archdiocese  of  Los  Angeles  and  is  operated  by  the  Carmelite  Sisters  of  the  Sacred  Heart,  whose  Motherhouse  is  in  Alhambra.      Mother  Maria  Luisa  Josefa,  or  “Mother  Luisita,”  founder  of  the  Carmelite  Sisters  of  the  Sacred  Heart,  established  Santa  Teresita  in  1930.  Originally  a  sanatorium  for  women  with  tuberculosis,  it  later  became  a  hospital,  and  is  now  an  assisted-­‐living  facility.    Its  grounds  are  well  maintained  and  have  a  strong  Catholic  character.    The  chapel  is  a  prominent  feature  on  the  grounds  and  is  a  beautiful  house  of  worship.    Although  it  is  called  a  chapel,  it  is  comparable  in  size  to  a  parish  church.    Masses  are  held  daily  and  on  weekends  for  residents;  visitors  are  welcome.    The  sisters  are  orthodox,  cheerful,  and  welcoming  to  visitors  of  all  stripes.  Young  single  women  can  visit  and  get  a  taste  of  religious  life.    Santa  Teresita  is  undergoing  an  extensive  renovation  to  better  serve  its  residents,  and  patrons  are  always  needed.  If  you’re  so  inclined,  ask  the  sisters  what  you  can  do  to  help.    St.  Joseph  Chapel,  Santa  Teresita  Medical  Center  819  Buena  Vista  Street,  Duarte,  California  91010  (626)  359-­‐3243

PARISH COAT DRIVE The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a “Coat Drive” following all masses on the weekends of November 3, 10 and 17. Coats will be provided to (Inn Vision/Catholic Charities) which will distribute them to San Jose homeless men in need of warm clothing for the coming winter months. We ask parishioners and families to join us in donating new and very gently used coats on these weekends. Knights and their families will be outside the Church to accept your donations.

GREAT REASONS TO PARTICIPATE:

• You can help people in need to stay warm throughout winter.

• You can be more involved with this invaluable local charity.

• You can get together with neighbors and help people recycle new and very gently used coats they aren’t using from their homes.

• Parents or grandparents can work with their children and grandchildren to show them how to give back to their community.

• You can help clothe those in need, who lack basic shelter from the weather and the security that includes.

WHO  CAN  DO  THIS?    

Everyone!    

           

     

Catholic  Trivia  Answer:    The  two  keys  on  every  Papal  Coat  of  Arms  are  known  as  the  “Keys  to  the  Kingdom  of  Heaven.”  The  gold  key  symbolizes  the  power  to  bind  and  loose  in  heaven,  and  the  silver  key  symbolizes  the  power  to  bind  and  loose  on  Earth.

 DINNER  ITALIANO  SUCCESS!    The  “Dinner  Italiano”  on  October  25th  was  another  great  success  for  the  ladies  who  created  and  sponsored  it.    The  Knights  hosted  the  bar,  provided  an  Emcee  and  invited  all  seminarians  from  St.  Patrick's  Seminary  and  College  to  attend  for  free.    People  took  the  opportunity  to  host  a  seminarian  or  priest  at  their  table  (paying  for  their  meal)  and  all  ‘sold  out’  very  quickly.    Over  230  attended  this  year  and  the  profits  are  being  directed  to  kitchen  maintenance/improvements.    During  the  evening,  GK  Ed  Cruz  along  with  Fr.  Joseph  Kim  and  Gary  Herbst  presented  RSVP  (scholarship)  checks  in  the  amount  of  $500  each  to  five  of  the  seminarians.      The  sixth  check  is  being  forwarded  to  our  fellow  Knight,  Bro.  Paul  Jussen,  who  is  studying  in  Chicago  for  ordination  with  the  Missionaries  of  Our  Lady  of  LaSalette.      

 RSVP  Recipients  this  year:    (l-­‐r)  Mr.  Victor  Trinidad,  Mr.  Edgar  Elamparo,  Mr.  Neil  Francis  Kalaw,    Mr.  Robain  Lamba  &  Mr.  Francis  Le.    Hosting  the  bar  for  the  evening,  and  donating  the  profits  with  the  Dinner,  were  Knights  of  Columbus  Eric  Bateman,  Michael  Emery,  Toby  Laufer,  David  Verdugo  and  Don  Lucas.    Over  $170  was  received  in  donations  for  our  Seminarian  Fund  for  next  year’s  RSVP  awards,  while  bar  ‘profits’  are  being  shared  with  the  Italiano’s  kitchen  goals.
