Worthy Officers and Brothers All:Happy Advent and Merry Christmas! The

wonderful thing about being in a Catholic organization such as the Knights of Columbus is that I don't have to be politically correct and say "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings". In fact, I've decided that I'm NOT going to do those things this year. As our campaign says, "Keep Christ in Christmas", I intend to do that as well. For in all honesty, if someone wishes me a "Happy Hanukkah", I would not be offended at all. It is the joyous holiday spirit that matters and I don't need to be P.C. to convey that.

Advent is the beginning of the Church's liturgical year and the one-year anniversary of the introduction of the 3rd edition of the Roman Missal. Have you all gotten used to "And with your spirit" yet? Advent is a season of waiting and anticipating the celebration of the arrival of the Christ child. It's also a time for good food, decorations, Christmas trees, lights, cards, family gatherings and Santa Claus (who brings with him a whole different sense of anticipation). All of these things make this time of year very special indeed, but it is the arrival of Christ that is the moment that makes this season truly magical.

Moving on to what's going on in the Council, I want to congratulate all of the men who made 4th degrees this past month. I am proud of all of you who have can now don the Sword of Christopher Columbus and call themselves "Sir Knight". I look forward to seeing you at the next Assembly meeting in January!

On an entirely different note, I would like to invite my fellow Brother Knights to the Clermont Middle School Band holiday concert performances. For those of you who are new, I am the Director of Bands at Clermont Middle and we have a really great group of students there that work hard to present very musical programs. The "Flight of Sound" Jazz Ensemble concert is December 11th and the Beginning and Symphonic Band concert is December 18th. Both of these concerts are in the auditorium at Clermont Middle, both begin at

7 PM and both are free and open to the public. I hope some of you can make it!

May the excitement of the coming of the infant Jesus fill your hearts with Christmas cheer. From the Venezio family to yours, have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

Vivat Jesus!Allen

Well the elections and the voting are over

and we did not make much progress in

Florida or the nation addressing the issues of

abortion and freedom of religion. Some may

be saying that the battles are over: however

they are not. There are still a number of law

suits going forward that address the Health and Human Services ruling on religious

institutions and organizations providing

health insurance to their employees when the

insurance must provide services that violate

the beliefs of the religious entity. The Diocese

of Miami joined in one just last month. Lest

you think this is only a Catholic issue I refer

you to the Feb 2012 congressional hearings

where the USCCB’s testimony was “joined by

the President of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, a distinguished orthodox

Rabbi and officials and professors of several

Protestant institutions of higher learning.”

So keep the prayers coming that our

nation’s courts- especially the Supreme

Court- realize that this ruling violates the

First Amendment of Freedom of Religion.

The Knights are still engaged in these efforts

to over throw the ruling so watch for articles

on the web and in the Knightliner. As a source of info you can go to the Orlando Diocese web

site and under social justice find a number of

good articles on this subject and on pro-life

overall. I encourage you to become

acquainted with them and this site.

Also it is not too early for us to start

planning for the Annual March for life that

occurs in Washington DC and, nearer to home, St. Augustine in March of 2013. It

would be great if we – Council and Assembly-

could join those marching for Life next year.

Supreme and State Council News

Help in the Wake of DevastationIn the wake of devastation left along the New Jersey

and New York coasts by Hurricane Sandy, members of Msgr. Joseph F. Dooley Council 4361 in Mingo Junction, Ohio, are collecting  canned goods, water and clothing for

families who lost so much to the storm.  In an article posted on WTOV  News 9 website, council member  Lou Kakascik said “The Knights of Columbus isn’t just about a banquet hall. It’s about giving to the community. We’re

about charity, unity and fraternity.” It’s that attitude that is driving the council’s efforts in reaching out to members of the community, to schools and to local businesses to collect

anything that can be of use to those in the area destroyed by the hurricane. The council is also looking for a truck that members c an use to deliver collected items to a food

bank that serves New Jersey and New York.The Supreme Council announced on Thursday that it

was making an immediate $100,000 donation, giving $50,000 each to the state councils of New York and New

Jersey to assist in local relief efforts in those hardest-hit jurisdictions. On Monday, the Supreme Council began disbursing the funds received via online donations, and an

additional $75,000 will now be distributed with $25,000 going to Connecticut, New York and New Jersey respectively.

Our Priests and Religious, an Open Letter

of Appreciation.As we read St. Paul's many letters we are reminded

that though St. Paul was an apostle, he was first and most

importantly a pastor. As a pastor he considered the daily concern for people in his congregation to be as difficult to bear as being beaten or being shipwrecked. And, as you might expect, this is true of all our Priests and religious.

It is obvious that our Priests love each of us, are concerned for us, pray for us, and think about us. That is what we see. But that is not all there is.

Our Priests and religious walk with us in ways we can't understand. The concern for us is so deep and so powerful that thoughts of us often keep them up at night. They read

the newspaper and watch TV with us in mind. They worry that we will read the latest new book and be led astray

from the truth. Their emotions rise and fall every time someone goes to hospital. They grieve with those who mourn or are in distress and rejoice with those who receive a new beginning.

A Priest moves from a funeral to a wedding rehearsal as a professional. He is outwardly dignified showing just the right emotion for the occasion. But inside he is haunted

by the grief of a family, and overwhelmed with excitement for the young couple to be married. He urges the couple toward fidelity and faith and shepherd's the grieving family

through anger, resentment, denial, and grief. And he carries all of those emotions and all of that concern around with him every day.

In our lives we typically endure one or two significant

events at a time. We might change jobs, get married, attend a funeral, have money problems, struggle to hold our marriage together, or love a rebellious child.

But a Priest experiences each and every one of these things every day. He is concerned for the marriage in trouble. He desperately wants to relieve our financial

struggles. He grieves with us over our troubled teenager. He rejoices with us when we find a new job. He experiences all of these things each day because he is so burdened for each of us. Our pain and our joys become

his because he cares for us so much.Today we celebrate our appreciation for our Priests

and religious. We of course appreciate them for all they do

for us. But St. Paul in 2 Corinthians reminds us that what we see doesn't compare with the intense concern they have for each of us.

I would like to say, 'Thank you’ to our Priests and religious. We genuinely appreciate everything we see you do for us. But even more, thank you for caring so much that you take our burdens as your own.

days wearing only a T-shirt or light clothing. As a start, this year the Council is purchasing two boxes of

coats. Brother Don Morrissey and his wife have taken on the responsibility of coordinating the drive. If you wish to contribute a new child’s coat sizes

On Friday November 16, 2012, the annual Special Olympics bowling tournament took place at Kissimmee AMF Lanes in Kissimme, Florida.

Special Olympians came from all over the State of F lorida to participate.

I am pleased to announce that Councfil 13240 was well represented with approximately 22 Knights and

their wives helping out at this most wonderful event. Our District Deputy, Bruce Gillet and wife Kam

also participated the whole day. Bruce announced the awards to the crowd and did a great job. A special thanks to the Gillets.

 A good time was had by all and the true meaning of charity and service was experienced by the repeat

volunteers and the new comers. The experience is hard to explain as this is

a special event in my life. I want to personally thank all of

the volunteers, past and new. I know we will have repeat help again next

year. I hope to get even more vo lun t ee r s nex t yea r a s t he atheletes and their families appreciate

our help so much. Once again thank you to all that

helped from my wife and myself for

making this a most successful event again.

I thought I would talk a little about St. Nicholas, since it falls on the s a m e d a y a s o r upcoming meeting. His feast day has been c e l e b r a t e d o n December 6th since about the 5th century.C i t i e s w i t h s t r o n g German influences tend to  celebrate St. Nick's Day on a scale similar to St. Patrickʼs day for the Irish. Many children celebrate St. Nicholas Day by putting their shoes outside their bedroom doors on December 5th. It is tradition that during the night, after St. Nicholas has arrived, they will find their shoes filled with gifts and sweets. In France, he was known as Pere Noel; in England, Father Christmas; and in the Netherlands, Sinter Klaas. Early Dutch settlers to new York brought the tradition of Sinter Klaas to the U.S, which eventually became known as Santa Claus.Little is known of St. Nicholasʼ life, except that he was the Catholic Bishop of Myra, Turkey and lived during the 4th century. He was born a Greek, was believed to be an only child of wealthy parents, and at age 17 became a priest. If time permits, I will show a short K of C video for the Good of the Order.

Four parts of retirement: Phase four

Okay, if you’ve been following along in my articles, you’ve read about the first phases

that lead to retirement. Protection and

accumulation of savings are the first time,

followed by de-accumulation of those funds

while making them last.

The final phase is care. At some point, at

some age (hopefully a very advanced age), you

will need to slow down. You will no longer be

able to care for yourself. At that point, you

will need to have assets available to provide much needed care, either at home or in a care

facility.

As you probably know, the cost of care

continues to rise. I cannot quote you a

number here (I could give you specific details

in a face-to-face meeting), but the nationwide

average grows by leaps and bounds. How do

you plan to cover these costs? Government

programs might not be available, or might

require you to spend down your assets leaving your family with little.

The best way to handle the cost of care in

the future is to plan ahead today. The Knights

of Columbus offers long-term care insurance

that can cover at home or facility care

costs. And our product is backed by the

financial strength of the Order. It has many benefits and our premiums are competitive

with any other company.

T h e K n i g h t s o f C o l u m bu s – t h e

organization you trust – is in a position to

help you with every phase. Life insurance,

disability insurance, guaranteed retirement

plans that turn into guaranteed income

streams when you retire, and long term care.  

There is no reason to go elsewhere as you

prepare for the four phases! Contact me today to schedule a meeting.

Welcome to assembly 3025 .

At the same time I would like

to thank our Color Guard for the

great Job they did in presenting

the colors at the Exemplification

you guys were great. We were

also video taped for a training

film that will be used for other

color guards to see how it should

be done all across the united

States well done guys.

I would like to remind

everyone that all requests for the

color guard should come through

the Faithful Navigator who will

get together with our commander 

to see what things we can handle

and what we can not so before

offering our color corp  please let

us know . No one should speak for

the navigator but the navigator.

Our December meeting will

be held at Hickory State Park on

December 2nd at 1. O'Clock in

the afternoon Please let S. K.

Larry Barber know that you will

attend the annual Picnic and what

side dish you will bring thank you

all.

My wife Jean and I would like

to wish each and everyone a very

Blessed Christmas and a Happy

and Healthy New Year God Bless

you all. Vivat Jesus Bob
