Our commitment to Pro Life was in full gear with the 40 days for Life, The Life chain and assorted other events. Our Rosary procession was well attended and our council gained new members in multiple degrees. Our wives appreciation was an elegant event, great fellowship, awe inspiring sunset over the city and of course beautiful wives to thank for their love and support. November will be another busy month as well. Our memorial Mass on November 7th will be a reverent and respectful Mass. I encourage all of our members to come and share in this beautiful Mass. I ask that you read the annual calendar and plan on attending some events. We will have a fun Council dance with instructors for all of us, normal scheduled meetings and of course our Light the Night for Christmas on November 29th at 2pm. Let’s not forget we need your help with our “Blue” golf tournament in December as well. This is a fun outing, focused on community building and steaks! Golf at Blue Cypress and Steak dinner at the hall. Contact Jim Bonnie or myself for information. I would like to remind us all with the upcoming holidays we are to be the examples of keeping Christ in Christmas. This is not only a Knights program but a message that we all need to foster in our families and with our friends. All too often we get busy with shopping and holiday parties that we tend to forget the reason for the season. Christ’s birth and life so we have an opportunity to gain eternal Salvation. So, Keep Christ in Christmas! John Klinkenberg [email protected] By Rev. Father James R. Boddie, Jr. Faithful to the Call of the Lord. The Knights of Columbus respond to the call of being faithful to the Gospel of Life. They stand in defense and protection of the unborn, families, and the vulnerable in our community. The Knights of Columbus respond to the call of praying for, and standing for the protection of the sacredness of the Sacrament of Marriage. One Man, one Woman. The Knights of Columbus respond to the call of praying for and supporting our young men in formation in preparing for the Priesthood. The Knights are called to support young people discerning a call to the religious life and in dedicating their lives to service of the Catholic Church. The Knights of Columbus always have been and always will be that faithful servant who not only listens to the call of the Lord, but who put their faith into action. In our times, when the church calls us even more strongly, to stand for the moral good and the Gospel of the Good News, the Knights show us an example. The example is that we are all called through our baptism to put on Christ and have an impact in the world. We should all be faithful to the call of the Lord in our lives. Let us constantly pray for, encourage, and affirm our Knights of Columbus in the way they serve the Diocese of St. Augustine and our parishes. May God Bless you and all those whom you Love. Rev. Father James R. Boddie Pastor, Christ the King Catholic Church K’CEE’S KORNER By Laura Morris President Blessings to you and your families. Thanksgiving is a special time to give thanks for all that God has done for us and to us! The Memorial Mass for the deceased Knights from Council #4727 will be Friday, November 7th at 6:30 pm. This is an important function for our Council so I hope that we have a good turnout to support the widows and families of our late Knights. Our K-Cee Christmas party will be Saturday, December 13th at 6:30 pm at the KC hall. We will have a catered meal, live entertainment and door prizes & raffles.

We will be putting up our indoor and outdoor decorations so we need lots of help. We will be playing Christmas music and will be serving seasonal refreshments like hot apple cider. Please bring your favorite Christmas cookies to share. Deacons Report By Deacon Stan Grenn Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Remember the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz? He was afraid of everything - even his own shadow. We all have a little of that cowardly lion in us. All of us live in fear of one thing or another at some time in our life. But Jesus Christ has good news for us. In the Gospel of Mathew he tells us: "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." Jesus Christ doesn't want us to live our lives in fear. He wants us to enjoy life. In fact he tells us in the Gospel of John: “I have come that you may have life, and have it more abundantly." The best defense against fear is faith. If we have a strong faith, then we can face any fear head on. God bless, Deacon Stan Annual Memorial Mass Please come out on November 7th at 6:30pm to help us remember our dear departed Brothers who have left this world to be with our Savior. So many of you who attended last year complimented our team on the changes that have been made to this Memorial and we will continue with the same format this year. Mass will begin at 6:30pm followed by the Memorial and lighting of candles. Dinner will be served after the memorial. We ask you to please RSVP to John Klinkenberg or Ralph Mosley so that we know how much food to buy. Also we PLEASE ask anyone who is able to walk without assistance to please park next door at Bivins Tire so that we may provide parking at the hall for those that need assistance. If you can carpool as well, that would be much appreciated. Council Dance and Instructions You don’t want to miss this evening of fun on Saturday November 22nd from 7pm until 10pm! A Social Affair Dance Studio will be teaching us how to dance. Don’t worry – you do not need a partner. This evening promises to be a fun evening with your friends, so please join us. You will have a great time and the best part is that you do not have to know how to dance – the instructors will make it fun and EASY to learn! Even if you already know how to dance, come out and show the rest of us how it is done! Space is limited to the first 50 people who sign up. RSVP to Maryellen Bell at 655-8250.

For additional information please see your church bulletin or call: Christ the King Parish: Dennis Scobie (904) 723-3977 Resurrection Parish: Pam Dewey (904) 743-6997 This month I wanted to address an equally important pro-Life topic - End of Life Determinations. In Florida we have a "Designation of a Health Surrogate" document, which allows you to name someone you trust (be it family member or close friend) to make health care decisions for you in case you become temporarily or permanently unable to make such decisions for yourself. The surrogate is essentially standing in for you when it comes to making health care decisions. The document does not give the surrogate authority to approve the direct and intentional ending of your life nor can they direct that you be denied food or fluids for the purpose of causing your death by starvation or dehydration. Should you give your surrogate other directions or express other special provisions? This can be legally added in writing, but current thinking generally advises against such additions. It is not possible to predict all circumstances or possible interventions that may need to be faced in the future. Adding specific written directions may severely limit the discretion and flexibility that your surrogate needs and may restrict your surrogate's authority in a way you did not intend. The recommended course is to discuss any additional directions, concerns, and/or provisions in detail with your trusted surrogate when you give them a signed "Designation" and at any time after that. Under Florida Law your spouse needs to be notified if you appoint a "Designee" other than he/she; and, the "Designation" should be signed by you in the presence of two qualified witnesses who must then sign the witness statement part of the instrument. Additional information and forms can be obtained from the Patients Rights Council web site at ... http://www.patientsrightscouncil.org This topic impacts upon both our younger and more mature council members. Please give it your attention and consideration. George Dewey, Council Pro-Life Committee
