Brother Knights & Families
Our new fraternal year (2013/2014) is up and running and our ac"vi"es have
already begun. Our first service event, assis"ng with the Seminarian Dinner
went very well; please see Brother Ken Wondra’s report in this newsle-er.
I want to thank our brother knights who assisted with the successful event.
We have also conducted out first planning mee"ng for the new fraternal
year, with a number of new exci"ng ideas for this year. While we are speak-
ing about planning for this new fraternal year I also want to invite all brother knights to forward
sugges"ons for ac"vi"es they would both like to see and to be involved with to your council.
During our planning mee"ng, as we seem to have an increased interest in men wan"ng to join our
ranks as brother knights, we decided to schedule first degree ceremonials, every other month be-
ginning in August. The degrees will be done as part of our regular business mee"ngs (normally the
third Thursday of each month), except to accommodate some poten"al brothers who may have
difficulty making the degree on a Thursday night, we will do two Saturday first degrees, one De-
cember 7 and one June 7. Please invite catholic men you know to consider joining our council
There is always a supply of form 100 (applica"ons), on the shelf, in the coat closet in the church
narthex.
Please note our regular business mee"ng for August will be held on Thursday, August 22 (fourth
Thursday as the third Thursday is the Feast of the Assump"on, a holy day of obliga"on).
Our council has also agreed to help host a cookout/send off for the gradua"ng seniors from our
parish on Sunday, August 4, from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM. We hope to help acquaint them with the
campus ministries where they will a-end college. We could use a few brother knights to assist
with cooking the hotdogs and hamburgers. Please contact me if you can help.
Our first social of the new fraternal year is Cuban Night on August 10, babysiBng is available for
those who would like to use it. Please see the flyer for details.
The week beginning August 12 is the Knights’ Family week celebra"on. We need volunteers to
hand out prayer cards aDer each mass on the weekend of
August 10 & 11.
In July, we presented Msgr Creary with a check for our
council’s contribu"on to the interior renova"ons of Father
Gresham Hall.
I want to extend a thank you to our officers and directors
who took part in our planning mee"ng. To those officers
and directors and to the others who could not make that
mee"ng, we will have a review during our upcoming offic-
ers’ and directors’ mee"ng.

Germantown
Festival
2013
September is not very far away and it is a very busy month for our Council. We have two opportunities to earn mon-ey for our various projects. The first opportunity is our Sausage Shack booth at the Germantown Festival (September 7 & 8) and will we need help in our booth, both days. This is one of our largest fundraisers, so please
consider volunteering. You will be hearing more from Past Grand Knight Chris Cambre, who is heading up this effort.
Later in September we have another opportunity to work, The Memphis Air Show. This year the air show is sched-uled for September 27, 28 & 29. As in the past we have three booths to operate on Saturday and Sunday. We have traditionally had our senior high school youth group work the Pretzel/Nachos/Drinks booth and we have operated a Beer/Water booth and a Chuck steaks/Drinks/Chips booth. The organizers are asking for volunteers' names and contact information now. This opportunity will not only allow you to work with brother knights, but also to view the air show. Please contact Tom Wilson now with any questions and to register your interest to participate in this op-
portunity.
Brother Knights, when is the last time you asked someone to join
the Knights? Many brother Knights have told us that all we had
to do is ask…… Now it’s your turn!

Prayer For Vocations
Heavenly Father, bless Your
Church with an abundance of holy and
zealous priests, deacons, brothers and
sisters. Give those you have called to
the Married state and those you have
chosen to live as single persons in the
world the special graces that their lives
require. Form us all in the likeness
of Your Son so that in Him, with Him
and through Him we may love you
more deeply and serve you more
faithfully, always and everywhere.
With Mary we ask this through
Christ our Lord.
Amen.
On Friday, July 26 our council sponsored the
Seminarian Dinner in St. Teresa Hall. This annual event to
raise funds to support our seminarians was very success-
ful. In addi"on to a number of Brother Knights purchas-
ing "ckets to this event a number also volunteered to
help out by tending bar and working in the kitchen.
Thanks for those who volunteered including Mike D’Ad-
dabbo, David Buck, Ken Kull, John Paul Miles, Ma-hew
Karmler, Bill Pla-en, Jim Quisdorff, and Ben Galle. Also a
special thanks to Anna Galle for coordina"ng the silent
auc"on. I apologize to anyone who volunteered and was
inadvertently leD off this list.
In addi"on to the various brother Knights indi-
vidual support, Grand Knight Tom Wilson presented the
diocese’s Voca"ons Director, Fr. Patrick Gallagher with a
check for $500 from the council during the dinner.

So oDen during the day we reflect on the
world, family and our jobs and we are bur-
dened by that worldly noise around us.
The media grates on us and we wonder about
the future.
But have we concerned ourselves about our
real future??
When we rely on secular media to tell us
about life are we geBng real answers?
Remember some of the old Church media
focusing on truth.
Today we have wonderful new resources.
Beginning with the K of C website
www.kofc.org and our own OLPH parish
website www.olphgermantown.org
Instead of relying solely on the secular ----
EWTN has a wonderful website
www.ewtn.com
It ranges from live and recorded shows, a
solid library to inform, and large number of
blogs covering Va"can and World news.
Finally, the USCCB’s web site
www.usccb.org covers :
Bible, Daily Mass Readings, Saint of The Day,
The Universalis Prayer of The Hours, and fi-
nally the many teachings the US Bishops have
proclaimed.
So we do not have to spend a lot of money or
"me to be informed about our Faith and to
be edified.
There is so much to discover about our glori-
ous faith---the inter net in the right web sites
can help us stay on the narrow road.
A quick reminder---- that K of C Rosary you
received upon ini"a"on-----“use it or loose
it”---Salva"on that is. Jesus gave us his moth-
er Mary to be our mother . She is a great in-
tercessor on our eternal journey. Talk to her
about her Son—
