JULY 2015 NEWSLETTER:

FROM THE DESK OF THE EDITOR: S/K Adrien Piche

Summer is a time for our New executives to plan and look forward to the

coming year, to help and guide us to becoming stronger in our resolve as Sir

Knights, to foster our principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism in

our relationship to one another, to our families and to our Church. Let us pray

for our elected officers that they may be filled with the Holy Spirit, led by the

Spirit so that we may be one in this great work which we are proud to be called

Knights of Columbus.

We will enjoy this summer break with all its blessings, asking the Lord to

refresh and renew us so that we can come back ready to serve Him and one

another in the love of Christ Jesus our savior.

May God Bless all of us in this summer season?

FAITHFUL FRIARS MESSAGE:

When someone gives us a compliment, nearly all of us feel good. It is nice to be recognized, even for the little things we do. When the person who praises us is someone we hold in high esteem, the words of praise mean even more. Most people liked to be acknowledged for being who they are, as well as for the special things they have done. In John's Gospel, Jesus pays each of us a compliment that is extra -ordinary, Jesus tells the Father that he considers humankind a gift the Father has given him. What a concept! The King of kings and the Lord of lords considers us a gift from heaven. There is little Jesus could say that could humble us more or could encourage us more than to be thought worthy of such praise. As we listen to his discourse at the Last Supper, we realize that Jesus knows what is in store for him. He knows he will suffer terribly and will die a painful death, but he is ready and willing to suffer all for us, so that his mission of bringing salvation will be complete. He LOVES us that much. We hold a position no other creature holds. What a powerful motivator for good this should be in our lives. God bless you all and have a nice summer. Monsignor Raymond Senger.(Faithful Friar)

FAITHFUL NAVIGATORS MESSAGE:

Worthy Sir Knights:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all that accepted a position on the new executive and a big thanks to those who did such a fantastic job to make things run as smooth as they did last year. We are still looking for a faithful comptroller and if you can take this position please contact myself or one of the trustees. We have had a number of functions this past spring such as the ladies appreciation supper and we had a guest speaker to compliment the evening. We had a supper in May to honor the clergy and this was well attended and we received positive feedback on this. Thanks to those who served as honor guards at the Decoration Day at Woodlawn Cemetery and to the honor guard at the mass last Sunday at St Marys to honor our blessed Mother of Fatima. At our installation we celebrated the 70th anniversary of our assembly with a cake for the occasion. We also celebrated the 50th anniversary of the ordination of Monsignor Raymond Senger and the ordination of Father Kent Windsor Smith with honor guards at both occasions. Our condolences go out to the families of Sir Knights Steve Harasymuk and Urban Donlevy on their passing this spring. I hope you all enjoy the summer and our first meeting will be on Tuesday the 15th of September at St Pauls at 7:30pm. Please make an effort to attend and find out what will be taking place in the New Year for our assembly.

Worthy Sir Knights: The call from God to be a priest in His Church has been a great blessing. Another blessing has been the many good people He has placed in my path of faith and service. It has been a beautiful journey of faith together. Thank you Brother Knights for being some of those good people whose lives have touched mine. Thank you for your support and help in these many years. The 4th. Degree Knights honored me in coming to the 50th Anniversary Mass on June 6, 2015 and acting as Honor Guards at the Mass. I was greatly moved and touched by your presence. Thank you for your lovely card and the books on our dear Holy Father, Pope Francis. I am enjoying reading them. The celebration was beautiful and most uplifting and a wonderful time to renew so many friendships. God's Blessings on you and your families, Love and prayers, Monsignor Raymond Senger (Faithful Friar) _______________________________________________________________________________

Page 4 July 2015 Newsletter DArcy McGee Assembly - S/K Adrien Piche Tribute to Steve Harasymuk Appreciation: Thank you very much for the values You have taught me and your patience in doing so. Thank you very much for sharing with me the principles you believed in and the trust and confidence you bestowed on me. Your dedication to protocols, transparency, keeping in touch and caring for senior members is above all measures. You showed your devotion, dedication, and unselfishness whenever called to volunteer in all the organizations youve been part of. Your services and financial support will always be cherished and remembered. Because of these, you will forever live in our memories. Reynaldo Meneses. PFN

S/K Steve Harasymuk: It is not too often that we get to recognise someone who has devoted their life to a cause worthy of justice and honor. My brother Steve, I believe is one of those individuals. He was a man of deep prayer, saying his Rosary between three to five times a day towards the end as well as watching his daily Mass on T.V. when he was not able to attend in person. He was ever so involved with his church of St. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church, a long time parishioner and contributor to the parish. When Bishop Bryan Bayda gave his testimony of Brother Steve, I was privileged to be a sentinel at Steve prayer service that night while sitting very close to the Bishop. As the Bishop spoke of all the things Steve had done for the church and for the Knights of Columbus, I notice there were tears coming down the Bishops cheeks. That was a special blessing for me because of the respect the Bishop and the church has for a faithful member. My formal introduction to Steve started about seven years ago at the assembly meetings DArcy McGee Assembly were having. A number of months latter Steve asked if anyone could help him with the assembly newsletter and I volunteered because I thought this would be an opportunity to help and also to get close to this brother. Little did I know how knowledgeable he was and the kind of sense of duty he portrayed in his commitment to the 4th Degree as well as his love for the Knights of Columbus! Most of the members of DArcy McGee Assembly, Steve knew personally and made it a point to keep in touch with all these people. I am sure all recall a telephone call they would have had from him or seeing him personally. In my relationship with Steve we had many such phone calls and spent many hours talking about the Knights and how to maintain an effective newsletter and how to keep the members informed. Thank you Steve for being my Father in the Knights, my advocate, my mentor and a wonderful brother in the Lord for I will truly cherish everything you taught me. Your friend and brother: Adrien Piche; editor of this Newsletter.
