Beloved Sir Knights,

We sure are churning

through this Summer

aren’t we? Public

schools are about to be-

gin classes, football is

about to start, and the

Parish Festival in almost

here as well. Make sure

you take some time to volunteer to help set up

the tents and booths. Last year, we set every-

thing up in 3 hours (a record!) Here’s an an easy

method for volunteering “https://signup.com/

client/invitation2/secure/1919791/true#/

invitation”. Just copy and paste this link into

your browser and you’ll go the Good Shepherd

Sign Up page. The Knights traditionally help with

the set up of the booths and tents, the Soccer

Challenge, Security, and the tear down.

On September 11th is our 2018 Columbian Year

Knights Quarterly Rosary for the World Day of

Prayer. Our Rosary begins promptly at 6:30pm in

the Church Sanctuary. Traditionally this event is

led by PGK SK Iggy Lopez Alvarez, PGK SK Carlos

Llerna, and SK Al Michel. I hope to see you there!

What’s inside

Greetings, Officer's Training - We conducted an Officers' Training on August 11, 2018. The training was not completed as sched-uled due to the interesting and lively discussions on some of the training agenda. We learned so

much, especially in the Bylaws of the Council. We will rectify some of the necessary articles through the process of amendment to conform with our present needs and practices. Thus I have created Bylaws Amendment Committee. At this time, I appointed SK Dave Magnino as the Chair and SK Iggy Alvarez Lopez, SDM Tim Fukuda, SK Joe Tho-mas, SK John Chris Adricula, Bro Larry Rapolla as members. Hope we will be able to amend the By-laws within 90 days.

Furthermore, there is an online Officers' training offered by the Supreme. I encourage all officers to open and perform the training required to learn our individual officer's duties and responsibilities.

Officer's Installation - Officers' installation was conducted on August 18, 2018. Majority of the of-ficers were present and installed by Chaplain, Fr. Ed, WDD Dan Aguiar, and WPFN Terry Rees. My congratulations to all officers. I asked you all your cooperation in order that we will achieve our goals and objectives during this Columbian Year. Thanks to our PWGK Rich Thompson, SK Terry De Frates for their assistance on our Installation.

wishing to proceed on his path of Knighthood,

call me or email me soon so we can talk.

Let me know if you need an Assembly shirt. It

is best if we order them in quantities that give us

price breaks. Let’s see if we can get 10-20 to

order. It would be nice to see more red Assem-

bly shirts out there in the church pews. Romeo

and Jess lead the way at the 11am Mass most

Sundays. Again, email me uw-

dawg1950@gmail.com with a quantity and your

size. Once I get a quantity that gives us a price

break, I will get with you on a price.

As a reminder, our Assembly Meetings are in the

St. John Paul ll Room the 3rd Wednesday of

every month beginning at 6:00pm. September

19th is our next meeting.

Lastly, you can talk to Brother Derek Bacon, SK

Eduardo Ortiz, or SK Jess Fernandez about the

power of prayer. All three have an impactful

story to tell about their medical recoveries and

how Knights praying for them had a big impact

on them. We do more than just flip burgers and

set up tables.

Thank you, God Bless You, and Vivat Jesus!

G. K.’s Report . . . Continued F. N.’s Message . . . Continued

We were jointly installed with Florin Council #14241

of St. Anthony Parish in Sacramento. We had the

privilege to welcome them to our church. We hope

next year we should have more eventful installation

of officers.

Council Committees - There are committees re-

quired by the Supreme and Adhoc Committee cre-

ated by the Council to conduct short term duties

needed by the Council. I am asking some members

to actively participate and to perform certain com-

mittee responsibilities. I thank those who accepted

my request for membership to these committees. I

also hope that the committees will offer on the job

training for our future officers and interest to ac-

tively participate in our Council.

At this time, we need members to "shadow" our

Chair SK Larry Fernandez for the Fireworks Commit-

tee and Chair SK Edwin Camerino for the Holiday

Craft Faire. It will certainly provide a smooth transi-

tion if the future Chair will undergo an "on the job

training" on these profitable and important pro-

grams of our Council.

Church Festival - Our church festival is upon us.

Most of the Festival activities are provided by the

Council, especially the set up and tear down of the

large tent. I appointed our WDGK Mike Blakey to be

the Representative/Liaison of our Council. Hope

your are all able and available to extend your help-

ing him when he requests for help.

Chancellor’s Report

1st Degree Exemplification:

The next 1st Degree Exemplification date has not been set by our team. So far, there is only one can-

didate from our council awaiting exemplification. There is still time for me to conduct interviews. So if

you know of someone who is interested in becoming a Knight, let me know ASAP.

2nd/3rd Degree Exemplifications:

According to WDD Dan Aguiar, there is a scheduled Exemplification on Saturday, September 29, 2018,

in West Sacramento. I don’t have the full detail but I’ll give you an update as soon as I have it. To our

1st degree and 2nd degree Brothers, this is a chance to advance in the Order. But, you have to do the

most important step to begin the process and that is: TALK TO YOUR WORTHY CHANCELLOR.

The magic number: 15

Yes, that’s the number we need to recruit in a year to earn “Star Council. “ If each one of us can spon-

sor at least one (1) “Good Catholic Man” within the Columbian year, there is no reason for us not to be

a Star Council.

At the Annual Parish Festival, wear your Council or Assembly shirt. Let the Parish notice the pres-

ence of the Knights. A tent will be set up for the Knights of Columbus and I am asking my fellow

Brother Knights to assist in anyway in recruiting, like answering questions of a curious or interested

“Good Catholic Man.”

REMEMBER: Every Member is a Recruiter!

At your service,

SK Jess Velasco

Refund Support Vocations Program (RSVP) is the primary program through which The Knights of Co-

lumbus can provide financial support to Seminarians. It is also designed to provide moral support

through keeping in contact with the Seminarians.

K of C Council 11236 has been actively participating in the program since 2012. Each year we select two

seminarian candidates from the Sacramento Dioceses. Each candidate is given $500 to be used towards

their studies while in the seminary.

Seminarians we are supporting this year both attend St. Patrick’s Seminary in Menlo Park, CA, - they

are:

Victor Goranov

Victor is 27 years old, was born in Bratsk, Russia, and is in Theology 1 at the seminary.

Joseph Malinis

Joseph is 28 years old, was born in Dasmarinas, Cavite, Philippines and is in Theology 4 at the seminary.

Brother Knights,

We are planning Good Shepherd’s 20th Annual Parish Festival. This is the biggest fundraiser of the

year for the Church. I always look forward to the dinner under the lights on Saturday night, September

22nd with the silent and live auctions. On Sunday, September 23rd, we have a great mix of ethnic foods

and entertainment, Bingo, festival games, the soccer challenge, a car show and so much more. Father

Leon usually regales us with his accordion and then there are the famous Polish sausages. I hope you all

will come out and join us.

It’s always a time of great fun and lots of work. There are many opportunities to help. If you can aid us

with the set up and tear down that would be great.

Set Up: Wed. Sept. 19

We plan on meeting at 8 AM on the 19th to set up

the main tent. This will be followed by assembly of

the many booths and there may even be some

electric lines and outlets to set up. We’ll even have

our own KofC booths (Adult Beverages &

Recruitment) to set up.

An Open Invitation

Are you new to our Council/Assembly or have been waiting for the “right time” to get involved? Do you

want to form bonds of friendship, trust, admiration and mutual respect with your fellow Knights?

Then the Set Up and Tear Down for the Parish Festival is the place to experience it. You will be welcomed

and supported by your fellow Knights. We will all learn more about each other as we jointly labor to help

out our parish. You will better know your fellow Knights and leave with a deeper feeling of camaraderie &

accomplishment.

This is an opportunity to become a friend and a proud, committed Knight.

We look forward to seeing you for the Set Up and/or Tear Down. Contact me if you have any questions or

need additional information.
