Volume 13, Number 2 August 2016
Corporate Communion:
Centerpiece of Knight Life Our Knighthood within the All Saints Catholic
Community is about living the Life of Christ by word
and example, fueled by our common connection to
the Sanctifying Grace emanating from the
Sacrament of Reconciliation and by our sharing in
the Life of Christ through our Knights of Columbus
Corporate Communion – the centerpiece of Knight
Life.
What makes our Lumen Christi Council #13520
Knights of Columbus so unique and special is our
unapologetic commitment to the core teaching and
spiritual practices of our Catholic Faith, Church and
Tradition. This includes devotion to Mary, our Holy
Father, and the Magisterium of the Church, Holy
Mass, and support of our local priests, lay ministers,
seminarians and myriad of ministries.
All these rich ingredients manifested themselves
beautifully at the 5:00 pm Corporate Communion on
Saturday, August 13, 2016. At this special event, our
gifted All Saints Pastor, Fr. Tony Lackland, offered a
special tribute to a sizeable group of Founding
Parishioners of All Saints Catholic Parish as we
celebrate 40 Years as a Parish. Following a few
powerful, somewhat difficult scripture readings, Fr.
Lackland lifted the congregation up high through his beautiful, touching homily, instructing all
present to “look around the room, get out of our comfort zone and witness the very real
international diversity of all present here today!”, describing each one present as a singular “gift
of God’s love!” Through this very direct and personal encounter, Fr. Lackland challenged all
present to “Go forth, on fire, manifesting God’s love and presence in our daily actions and lives”.
Adding still more to this memorable occasion, the Founder of our Order, the Venerable Fr.
Michael Joseph McGivney, was born in August of 1852 and died in August of 1890. Just a

GRAND KNIGHT’S MESSAGE
Brother Knights,
On August 12, 1852 the founder of our order, Fr. Michael J. McGivney was born. We
marked his birthday this month with our Corporate Communion on Saturday, August 13th.
One Hundred thirty four years ago, our order began because a young priest saw a need for
the people he served and decided to do something about it. In the basement of St. Mary’s
Church in New Haven, Connecticut the Knights of Columbus was born and today we are
more than 1,800,000 members strong and growing. Happy Birthday, Fr. Michael.
Today, we continue the dream of Fr. McGivney to serve the needs of our parish and our
community.
This month we held a pancake breakfast on the 14th. The placemats for this month’s pancake breakfast mark the 40th
Anniversary of our parish.
Last week we participated in a blood drive. Later this week we will provide a luncheon for the families of veterans who are
being treated at the VA Hospital in Dallas.
Our parish Fall Festival is coming up in September. We will be joining the other major parish organizations in selling tickets for
the Fall Festival after Masses on September 3rd and 4th. Take a few minutes after Mass to help out. Look for Fall Fest Ticket
Sales on the signup sheet at our business meeting.
We will be selling Tamales at the Fall Festival. We will be looking for volunteers to man our booth on Saturday and Sunday.
Join in the fun. Sign up to help out.
We are off to a good start. Thank you for all you do.
Michael Greene, GK, PFN
Monthly Recognitions Our Knight of the month for July is a “Go To” guy when you need help. You will find him working at most of our
monthly pancake breakfasts. That is just one of the many council activities that he regularly participates.
During the June Pancake Breakfast we discovered that one of the ovens
was broken and not reparable. I asked Ed to check out what it would take
to replace the ovens. He jumped on it and had information about
replacement equipment to Darrell Flowers by Tuesday morning. This
month’s Knight of the month is Ed Munno.
The Family of the month is actively involved both the Ladies Auxiliary and the Council. In July
we were asked to help out with the VBS Closing Dinner. This family helped to setup the serving
line and serve the families who attended the closing dinner. The family of the month for July is
Ann and Jeff Stuart.
Corporate Communion: Centerpiece of Knight Life - continued from page 1 -
coincidence? Without a doubt, Fr. McGivney would have been a proud witness to all the knights, spouses and ladies auxiliary who
served and contributed to this memorable liturgy and fellowship which immediately followed.
Brother Knights, can it get any better than this? Yes, it can. But only with you. Article submitted by Frank Coy; pictures taken by Jerry Cayce. More pictures can be found in the picture gallery section on our website (www.lumenchristikc,org)

New Ovens
The ovens we use on a regular basis gave up the ghost after 30 plus years of use by the numerous
ministries here at All Saints. The Lumen Christi Council joined by the All Saints Women’s
Organization and the All Saints Men’s Club provided the funds to purchase new ovens which were
in operation in time for your August Pancake Breakfast. Thanks to Ed Munno and Stan Tax who
worked to get best pricing information to Darrell Flowers, facilities manager at All Saints, who
ordered and arranged for installation of the new ovens. -article and picture submitted by Mike Greene

Coffee and Donuts Still a Big Hit Sunday Morning Fellowship (AKA Coffee and Donut Sunday) continues to be a
big hit with Parishioners. The Coffee & Donuts Team serves between 200 and
300 cups of coffee, 3-4 gallons of orange and lemonade juice mix, and between
80 and 140 dozen donut holes each week. Quantities vary with the weather,
the school year, and special events; and the Team takes a few holidays like
Mothers’ Day, Father’s Day, Palm and Easter Sunday, and close to Christmas
and New Year’s Day. The All Saints Jazz Band puts in frequent appearances
during the school year providing music and vocalists.
The Team sets up the hall with tables and chairs, serving and condiment tables.
Eight varieties of coffee creamers are also provided. Although coffee and donuts are provided free, donations are accepted.
The Team consists of Knights: Rommel Almagro, Pat Heaney, Michael Riley, Don Shaver and Jeff Stuart who are supplemented by
other Knights who fill in for occasional duty before or after the Mass they attend. -article submitted by Jeff Stuart; picture taken by Mike Greene
Pancake Breakfast Team Back in the Saddle Again Our Lumen Christi Council Pancake Breakfast was back again on
Sunday, August 14 and as usual, it proved to be a successful start for
our new fraternal year. Total served was 157 which was pretty good
considering the school year has not begun. Once again, Stan Tax came
up with a couple of good casseroles and the French toast was
especially popular. This is such a great event and really brings the
parish families together for some good food, good fellowship, and an
opportunity for the Knights to highlight our contribution to the
success of the parish.
Thanks are due to the many members who help make this monthly
event a continued success. This is a great way for our new members
to get indoctrinated into the “Knight Life” at All Saints. Contact Jack
Falloure for additional information.

Fisher House Luncheon On Thursday, August 25, Lumen Christi Council will provide lunch to the guests and staff of Fisher House. This quarterly council event
entails some food prep prior to the actual date and then meeting to car pool to the Fisher House to put the meal together including
salad and dessert at their facilities.
If you have not gone to Fisher House yet, please join us the next time. The Fisher House is located next to the VA Hospital in Dallas
and enables family members of veterans to be close to a loved one at the most stressful time - during their hospitalization for a
combat injury, illness or disease. There is no charge for veterans or their families to stay at the Fisher House.
This is another activity where new Knights who are available on weekdays can jump in and get acclimated to the “Knight Life” very
easily.
Family Activity Successful Following the quarterly corporate communion, a group of Knights and
their families headed over to Spring Creek BBQ to help celebrate the
birthday of the Venerable Fr. Michael J. McGivney as well as round
out an evening of family activity for the council. Pictures can be found
in the photo gallery section on our website (www.lumenchristikc.org).

Seminary / Seminarian Profile
The Redemptoris Mater Seminary of the Diocese of Dallas was born on the feast of the Immaculate Conception December 8, 2004 after the signing of the Decree of erection by the then Bishop of Dallas, Bishop Charles V. Grahmann in the Cathedral Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. In its first days, the seminary was located at Immaculate Conception Church, Grand Prairie, Texas until a more permanent location could be found. After two years, the seminary moved into its current location on the campus of the sisters of Our Lady of Charity on Cockrell Hill Road. It is one of 105 Redemptoris Mater Seminaries worldwide
which are founded on four fundamental precepts: the Neocatechumenal Way, they are diocesan (governed according to the present norms for the formation and incardination of the diocesan clergy), they are missionary (upon ordination, the priests are available to go wherever the ordinary sends them) and they are international (with vocations coming from different nations). In the eleven years, five priests and one deacon have been ordained for the Diocese of Dallas, and all are currently serving the Diocese of Dallas in different capacities (see last paragraph for additional details).
Lumen Christi Council was introduced to this Dallas seminary in 2006 when then Grand Knight Chris Diaz encouraged the council to take advantage of the Knights of Columbus Refund Support Vocations Program (RSVP) where councils “adopt” one or more seminarians or postulants and provide them with financial assistance and moral support. Since all of the Holy Trinity Seminarians already had at least one sponsoring entity, it was decided to put our efforts into those without support. The first two seminarians the council
supported were Michal Markiewicz and Tymoteusz (Tymo) Ksiazkiewicz, both originally from Poland. The following year the council added support for a third Seminarian from Redemptoris Mater, Samuel Martinez, who is originally from Spain. They are all Third Degree members of our council and are on schedule to be ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Dallas in 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively. Each will be profiled separately in upcoming editions of THE BEACON.
Through the years of our association with Redemptoris Mater Seminary we have watched the Seminary and the Seminarians grow. Our council members met Michal and Tymo at our first Clergy Appreciation dinner on March 29, 2007. Seminarians from Redemptoris Mater were the acolytes for the first Diocesan-wide Knights of Columbus Corporate Communion in March of 2009 and for each Corporate Communion at the Cathedral Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe since. Following each event they joined us at El Fenix for a mid-day meal.
In June of 2008 we started what is now a Lumen Christi Council tradition, we spend time interacting with these young men from around the world who are studying Philosophy and Theology while discerning God’s will. This event usually sparks keen interest from the members of our council and more than forty members have made the short road trip to Cockrell Hill over the years. Those who were making the trip for the first time took a short tour of the facility. The seminarians like to show off their “home” and all of the “little projects” they have completed, enforcing the sense of community this group emanates. The group then assembles in the chapel for Vespers, also called Evening Prayer, a part of the Liturgy of the Hours. Evening Prayer gives thanks for the day just past and makes an evening sacrifice of praise to God. We then adjourn to the family-style dining room to enjoy a feast of smoked salmon, brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken macaroni and cheese, and all the usual fixings prepared by our own Woody Berry and his wife Gigi. The seating arrangement offers a great opportunity to mingle with the seminarians and find out how these future leaders of the church are coping with the day to day situations God has laid before them. At the conclusion of the meal, Fr. Fernando thanks the Council and its members for their continued support of the group – financially, spiritually, and through their interaction with the seminarians during these special dinners. All who attended are awed by the experience and by the seminarians. (See our website www.lumenchristikc.org for additional pictures and activities with RMS).
The picture below was taken at the recent Ordination Mass at the Cathedral. Newly ordained Fr. Daniel Rendon (center, to the left of Bishop Farrell) is currently serving at Mary Immaculate in Farmers Branch. To his left are three priests, Msgr. Fernando Carranza, Rector of Seminary, Fr. Alan McDonald, Vice-Rector of the Seminary and first priest ordained from the Seminary and Fr. Eduardo Gonzalez, Spiritual Director of the Seminary. Fr. Paolo Capra and Fr. Juan Carlos Marin (first two priests from the left) are stationed at St. Elizabeth in Bonham and St. Joseph in Richardson, respectively. Fr. Luca Simbula (tall priest on the right side) is serving at St. Augustine Parish. Deacon Javier Diaz (to the right of Bishop Farrell) is serving his pastoral year at St. Ann in Coppell. There were 22 of the 27 seminarians in attendance at the ordination ceremony. Michal Markiewicz and Tymoteusz Ksiazkiewicz, were not in Dallas for the ordination as they were on itinerancy in Israel and Oregon respectively. The other three “missing” seminarians were also on itinerancy assignments in Kiribati, Guam and Michigan.

IMSA Highest rating
We Stand Strong on Ethical Ground Some people believe that
ethics in business is a
contradiction in terms. They
think that in order to be
profitable, a company and its
leaders must abandon
morality and embrace the
dark, greedy side that they
see so often in the news and
in movies. At the Knights of
Columbus, we know this
isn’t true. A business can be
both ethical and successful.
We are. As a Catholic
organization, we understand
the value and importance of
our core beliefs and the
original mission of The
Venerable Father Michael J.
McGivney. In fact, much of
the strength and financial
security we provide to
members and their families
can be attributed to our
ethical, moral standards.
More than 96 percent of
Knights who buy our life
insurance keep it, year in and
year out. The Order takes
this commitment to our
members very seriously.
This means carefully
planning when it comes time
to invest. Our professional
staff researches all
transactions to insure that
they fall in line with
Catholic values. If a
transaction makes them
uncomfortable, they don’t
make it. “We exclude any
company engaged in activity
that conflicts with Catholic
moral teaching: companies
directly involved in abortion,
contraception, human
cloning, embryonic stem cell
research, for-profit health
care that pays for any of
these, or pornography,” said
Supreme Knight Carl
Anderson. “There are many
companies in the
pharmaceutical and
communications industries
that would undoubtedly
provide excellent returns for
us, but which are not in our
portfolio because they
engage in research and
development or
programming in ways that
violate the sanctity or dignity
of human life.” In the end,
the Knights of Columbus
investment strategy is
motivated by morality, not
money. Yet, each year we
remain profitable, increase
our assets and stay dedicated
to this vision that will keep
the Order financially sound
for generations to come.
From The Supreme Knight Carl Anderson
The pope is calling on us to
build a nation of neighbors
who treat each other as true
brothers and sisters. This, of
course, is not a new concept
to the Knights of Columbus.
More than a century ago, our
founder, Venerable Michael
McGivney, proposed a
vision of Catholic
brotherhood for the men of
his time. This vision not only
strengthened Catholic family
and parish life during the
19th century, but it has also
continued to offer an
attractive avenue for men to
live out their vocations.
Father McGivney
understood that the “key” to
a Catholic way of life was
precisely to see society
through the fraternal lens of
charity and unity. In other
words, the vocation of a true
Catholic “knight” is to love
his neighbor as another
brother or sister. Fraternity
has been the foundation for
what has become one of the
most sustainable and
successful business
enterprises in the Catholic
world.
Some may say that this is a
kind of idealism that cannot
compete in the real world of
business. On the contrary,
the tremendous success we
have achieved in recent
years demonstrates that our
approach is the height of
what I would describe as
Catholic realism.
Vivat Jesus
