Council Website suspended
Brother Knights,
The council voted at the December meeting to not pay the $150 renewal fee for the UKnight website.
It was felt that there was not enough interest in the website to justify the expense of the renewal.
If you feel differently, come to the next meeting (council meetings are the 3rd Tuesday of each month, at 7pm, at the American Legion Hall) and let the council know.
Thank you. Vivat Jesus!
Holy League Men's Conference October 20, 21 2017
Brother Knights,
I received the following request from our Worthy State Deputy, Francis Mohr, regarding the 2017 Catholic Men's Conference which will be held in Mt Angel at the end of the month. Please participate if you can. I am attaching a copy of the poster for this event. More information can be found at www.hlcmc.net
Recently I sent a letter pertaining to the upcoming Second Annual (English & Spanish) Catholic Men's Conferences presented by the Holy League Men's Ministry.  The English speaking one will be October 20th & 21st at the Festhalle in Mt. Angel, OR and the Spanish speaking one will be October 28th at the East Salem Community Center, 1850 45th Ave.NE, Salem, OR.  I've attached the Registration Form(s) for both in the event you have not yet registered.
This year one of our State Knight of Columbus Goals is "Spiritual Growth Leadership and Personal Development." My Brothers, these Conferences which are sponsored by the Holy League Men's Ministry are one of the "channels" for the Holy Spirit to enhance our personal spirituality, inspire men to holiness and discipleship, strengthen marriage and family, and could be a stepping stone for someone's vocation to the priesthood or religious life. These Conferences also have the potential to encourage more Catholic men to join our Order and be additional "Laborers to My Father's Vineyards" as the gospel parable says
As Catholic Brothers, we need to support these Conferences. Please make every effort to attend.  Send in your registration to the address listed for the one you will attend. The Holy League Men's Ministry is also asking our assistance to help ensure all expenses are met this year and to help create and sustainable fund to ensure there will be more men's conferences featuring renowned and distinguished presenters.
As a Council, please consider donating a $100 or some amount to help with this cause. Here are the details:
* Make checks payable to: Holy League / Memo HLCMC17
* Mail to: James Thurman, Conference Coordinator, 1012 Oak St., Sliverton, ORÂ 97381
With the Oregon Knights of Columbus support, we can help this special ministry continue in the direction of New Evangelization that Pope Francis and the Church is asking for.
Vivat Jesus!
Francis Mohr,
State Deputy

This will be at Woodburn Lanes at 2pm. We will have pizza at the site, while the bowling is going on. If you'd like to go....just show up. The pizza is on the council, but members pay for the bowling for themselves and their families or friends (all are welcome). Bring the KIDS!

We will have a VIDEO First Degree Ceremonial for some local men that want to join our council. This will be following the 10:00 AM Mass, in the American Legion Hall. Please come and watch the video with these new members-to-be, and give them a great welcome into the council!

Call Brother Rick Schiedler (503-845-6003) for information.
If we get 100 people to attend in our group, it will suffice for all four Culture of Life Activities for Star Council, so this will help a LOT in our quest for Star Council!

Call Brother Rick Schiedler 503-845-6003 to help, or if you'd like to try your hand in the kitchen call Brother Ray Eder (503-932-2506). At the December meeting it was decided that 90% of the proceeds will go to the fund to replace the siding on the Parish buildings. 10% will go to the general council fund.

Please help the STONEKINGS with their healthcare expenses
Please remember...continue to pray for Stephanie Stoneking, that she is cured from Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Pray for the Stoneking family as well. This has been a really tough road for them.
Stephanie is gaining on it, but is not officially "cured" yet.
Thank you!
