FAMILY OF THE MONTH

Alright kids, stop reading this right now! The Family

of the Month for December is the Clauses, er...Galvins! I

don’t know how many times Thom and Marijo don their

fur-trimmed finery to make Christmas a little more

special for many local children, but they have my vote

for the best Clauses ever. Our “Breakfast with Santa” is

a truly special event. Somehow Thom and Marijo roll

right from biggest Thanksgiving in Arlington into a busy

Christmastide. Maybe they can do that because they’ve

actually recovered from the “Pool Season” by the time

Noah and Brandon early on Thanksgiving morning

GRAND KNIGHT’S MESSAGE

Happy New Year! The liturgical year begins

with Advent, and although Christmas Day is

December 25th, the Christmas season continues as

we celebrate those events that are part of the New

Testament “infancy narratives.” The Epiphany is

normally celebrated on January 6th (the 12th day

of Christmas!), but since the 6th falls on a

Saturday this year, it will be celebrated on Sunday

the 7th. During my five years in Puerto Rico, the

Epiphany, or Three Kings Day (El Dia de los

Reyes), was celebrated with much more “gusto” than it is here. Even small

towns had parades, and some of the locals always dressed up as the three

kings and had goodies for the kids. When I was a youngster, my parents

would never take down the Christmas tree until after Epiphany. Although

current church calendar can extend the Christmas season beyond the “Twelve

Days of Christmas,” in the older tradition Christmas lasted until the Feast of

the Presentation (and the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary), also

known as Candlemas. This made for 40 days between Christmas Day and

Presentation (known as “Christmastide”).

As always, thanks to the many volunteers and Club staff who make our

Christmas season and New Year’s Eve Celebration so wonderful. Lots of

decorations, a great “Breakfast with Santa,” our first ever “Mom’s Night

Out,” and EDW Christmas Party.

Don’t forget we have our Annual Columbus Club Elections following the

EDW meeting on January 4th. We will also have an Open House/Social in

lieu of our 2nd EDW meeting on January 18th. This will give prospective

candidates a chance to see what we do!

All Brother Knights and family members are highly encouraged to

participate in the March for Life 2018 (Jan 19th). If you are able, please

consider serving as March for Life Marshalls. Please see the March for

Life article update in this Knight Life.

This month we honor our Lord in an optional memorial of the Most

Holy Name of Jesus on January 3rd.

Let us pray to our Lord and Savior, upon Whom the Father bestowed

the Name that is above every name – Lord have mercy!

Vivat Jesus!

Joseph Thomas Baker

Grand Knight

MOST HOLY NAME OF JESUS

January 3, 2018

Although Saint Paul might claim credit for promoting

devotion to the Holy Name because Paul wrote in

Philippians that God the Father gave Christ Jesus “that

name that is above every name” (see 2:9), this devotion

became popular because of 12th-century Cistercian

monks and nuns but especially through the preaching of

Saint Bernardine of Siena, a 15th-century Franciscan.

Bernardine used devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus

as a way of overcoming bitter and often bloody class

struggles and family rivalries or vendettas in Italian city-

states. The devotion grew, partly because of Franciscan

and Dominican preachers. It spread even more widely

after the Jesuits began promoting it in the 16th century.

In 1530, Pope Clement V approved an Office of the

Holy Name for the Franciscans. In 1721, Pope Innocent

XIII extended this feast to the entire Church.

LADIES U-KNIGHTED NEWS JO BALSAMO WOOD

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a blessed

Christmas and wonderful holiday season. Thanks to

everyone who helped decorate the Old Council Home

for Christmas.

We had our annual LUK Christmas party and white

elephant gift exchange on Dec 14th. Fun was had by

all. See our annual Christmas photo in this month’s

Knight Life.

It’s a new year to start on a new track for membership.

Ladies U-Knighted meets at 7:30 in Dining Room of the

Old Council Home the first Thursday of every month. If

you or a friend or family member is interested in joining,

please stop by for a meeting. Check out the LUK website

at www.ladiesuknighted.com for information and

upcoming events. Follow us on Facebook at Ladies U-

Knighted.

Please join Ladies U-Knighted in wishing a very

happy birthday to Marijo Galvin (1/28). The next LUK

meeting will be Thursday, Jan 11, which is the second

Thursday of the new Year. Wishing you all a very

happy and healthy 2018.

“WHAT WILL YOU SACRIFICE TO BUILD A CULTURE OF LIFE?”

“Love Saves Lives” is the theme for the upcoming

2018 March for Life. The 45th annual March for Life,

the world’s largest annual human rights demonstration,

will be held on January 19, 2018.

“Choosing life is not always easy, but it is the

loving, empowering, and self-sacrificial option. Love

is universally attractive because it is directed towards

others. Love is what we all strive for because deep-

down we are all drawn to give of ourselves in this

way. Love saves lives in countless ways,” said Jeanne

Mancini, President of the March for Life.

Virginia Knights of Columbus demonstrate their love

for others each January by serving as marshals for the

March for Life. As Jeanne Mancini has told us many

times, “Without the Virginia Knights of Columbus we

could not have the March for Life.” And in the same

way, we are blessed to be able to help make the March

for Life happen each year.

Think of what we “put up” with each year. Some frigid

cold, some almost spring-like, once with snow that closed

the eastern seaboard – but not the March for Life – but

always unique and life affirming in a special way. Each

year filled with hope and love, prayer and song. And last

January, the first ever personal appearance by the sitting

Vice President, Mike Pence and his wife. This was an

historic first for the March for Life.

If you have attended you recognize the importance of

Virginia Knights of Columbus in making the March for

Life happen. We assist and direct marchers, provide first

aid to marchers, security for the dignitaries speaking at

the rally, help with lost persons, police up litter after the

rally, and coordinate the banner and flags that lead

the march. Others provide support and refreshment

for the marshals or collect funds to help pay the

March for Life expenses.

But the rally and march are not the only events!

People from across the country come to Washington

for more than the March for Life. They come early to

pray, to attend the March for Life Conference and

Expo. They stay to speak with their congressmen, and

attend the annual Rose Dinner, which was organized

to recognize pro-life leaders. Other organizations host

events as well. This shows a level of commitment to

building a culture of life we should all strive for. So in

addition to participating as a marshal in the upcoming

March for Life, what will you sacrifice to build the

culture of life?

And remember to sign up to marshal on the web

at tinyurl.com/KofC2018MFL.

MARCH FOR LIFE NOTE

The location for the rally and starting point for the

actual march have been moved due to NPS restrictions

and attendant costs. The new location for the rally will

be on the National Mall at the 12th Street panel

between Jefferson and Madison.

WAYS TO PAY FOR WHOLE LIFE

We live in a world of options and we are constantly

bombarded by choices. Some of these make our lives

more complicated, but many of these choices are

created with our satisfaction in mind.

At the Knights of Columbus, every product we offer

has been designed solely for the benefit of our members

and their families. When I present an option to you, it’s

because a team of experts has discussed it at length to be

certain it serves your best interest.

We have a few options on how you can provide and

pay for the whole life coverage that your family

needs. Many whole life policies call for premiums to

be paid for your entire life or to age 100. But we also

offer permanent life coverage with guaranteed cash

values (and the potential to earn dividends, which are

not guaranteed) through policies that offer a limited

period of premium payments.

First, we offer “10 Pay Life” and “20 Pay Life.”

Consider paying premiums for 10 or 20 years, and

never having to pay for the coverage again. The plan

is “paid up” and no more premiums are due. The plan

stays in force, the death benefit remains intact and the

guaranteed cash value continues to grow.

A plan with similar benefits is “Life Paid Up at 65.”

The difference over 10 or 20 Pay Life plans is that this

permanent product requires you to pay premiums until

age 65. Then, premiums stop (just in time for retirement),

but the plan remains in force.

Finally, the ultimate in limited pay is our Single

Premium Life product. Imagine buying life insurance

— permanent life insurance — and only paying one

single premium? It’s possible.

To learn more about these products, our long-term

care insurance, disability income or retirement

products, please call us today.

EDW’S NEW “CHRISTIANS AT RISK” CAMPAIGN Last year, the Knights came to you for support to

care and feed for Christians in the Middle East who

had fled their homes because of ISIS. That campaign

was part of a national effort by the Knights of

Columbus called Christians at Risk With your help,

our local council donated more than $12K to that

campaign which, in turn, contributed to more than $2

million in assistance this year. That is on top of the

more than $12 Million that the Knights have raised for

this effort since 2014.

During this special time between the celebration of

the birth of Our Savior Jesus Christ in Bethlehem

(December 25th), and the 40 days until we celebrate

the Presentation of the Infant Jesus in Jerusalem

(February 2nd), may the Knights, families and friends

of EDW open their hearts to our persecuted brothers

and sisters in the Middle East.

We will provide more information about a new

Knights of Columbus campaign to save a specific town

in Iraq via email updates over the coming weeks. The

goal of the Supreme Council is to have each Council

participate to reach their organizational goal of raising
