Worthy Brothers,
October was a busy month with lots going on. We
held a first Degree bringing in 6 new members. Let's
try for at least 6 more this month. Soccer challenge
went really well thanks to Porfirio. Great job.
5 will move on from our council to the Chap-
ter level on Sunday the 29 the. The lunch for
the Carmelite Nuns was successful with the
extra food going to the welcome dinner for new
Knights. Also feeding the homeless one night. Brother Faber started at
600 am. Then ended the day at Fast Fridays. Thanks Faber
for All you do. That was the last fast Fridays of the year.
Thanks to the team's that parked this year. Looking forward
to keeping the same teams next year. As you know we always
need more help. Not only parking but Bingo needs help as well. Also
don’t forget the Bingo fundraiser for the Letcher boys
on Friday Nov 3rd at St Teresa hall. On Wednesday the
11th we had a welcome dinner for new Knights. Had a
good turn out and those who showed also made their 1st
Degree, I'm hoping we can do this more often. I know
brother Jim Letcher would be willing. The ID drive
brought in over $8000 way to go Brother Russ. And all
who helped. Thanks Retention committee Brothers Bill Gilsdorf and
Joe Nicosia and crew are working hard to secure fallen
away members. Not an easy task. As for November don't
forget the All night adoration at St Joseph with breakfast
after Mass. Munch bunch the 7th. Bingo on Wednesdays.
We will have a Social on Thursday the 16th the. Hope you
all have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you and may God Bless you all!. Grand Knight Tim Schott

MONTHLY MEDITATION: … How to become wise?
There are not too many people who think that they don’t need any more wisdom,
than they have right now. Most of us would gladly receive some wisdom to better
cope with our lives, to get the most out of it. In our life we constantly need the wis-
dom.
Making decisions without the wisdom may end up with unpleasant consequences.
The wisdom is an ability to use knowledge in particular situation; it is an ability to
make a right decisions.
So the wisdom is not the knowledge. The knowledge can be obtained in a school or course. People study for
years to gain knowledge. But how you get the wisdom? In most cases the wisdom comes with your age. The
more experience you have the wiser you are. You are gaining wisdom as time passes by. In most of the cul-
tures people go for advice to elders, to people who have a lot of experience. But who is the wisest person in
the universe? Who is the eldest elder? God himself – our father! Read above verses again. How you can gain
wisdom without getting very old? Ask your God!
We have an access to the source of all the wisdom. If you ask God for the wisdom with faith, you have got it.
The only condition God requires is a faith. God is a Father and he gives willingly; if only his child will ask.
So don’t be afraid to ask him, if you will do so you will get help. You don’t have to rely on your own wisdom,
you can rely on His! .… Have Faith and become older and wiser

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS INSURANCE
Different life stages, Changing needs
You may have a long-range ex-pense for which you are saving, such as college for your children. You may be concerned about a
comfortable, worry-free retirement. You may want to protect your ability to earn a living. You may wonder if needing costly long-term care will deplete your hard-earned assets. You want to have something to leave for your wife, children or grandchildren.
At some point you may have had all of these needs on your mind. Over time, these thoughts make way for others as your needs evolve, your finances change and you get older. What is important to you at age 20, may not be at 30, or 45, or 65. What is the best way to be prepared for these changes before they happen?
One of the easiest ways to be financially ready for changes that come with different life stages is to meet annually with your professional Knights of Columbus agent, and address the needs that his analysis uncovers. This can help you be ready to face the financial challenges and issues on the road ahead.
During that annual visit, I'll take the time to review your needs, goals and budget. I'll update all beneficiaries on your policies and be sure your coverage meets your needs. I'll recommend a program of life insurance, long-term care, disability income insurance and guaranteed retirement products that will help you rest easy at night.
Whatever your needs, whatever your concerns, whatever your stage in life, I can help. Contact me today to learn more. Fraternally yours, Howard Tank

DISTRICT DEPUTY REPORT
Brother Knights
Where did October go? With membership, ID Drive, soccer challenge, and the usual council ac-tivities the month flew by. The District 5 Soccer Challenge was very successful. We had Lincoln, Auburn, and Colfax participate with a combined thirty two participants. Eleven moved on to the Chapter Soccer Challenge. A special thanks to Por-firio Perez and the Auburn Council for hosting the District 5 Soccer Challenge. You did a great job on short notice. Next year I hope all Councils will par-
ticipate in this program. The special bond between the Knights of Columbus and the youth community will stay with them the rest of their lives. The State Soccer Challenge will be on November 11th at St Patrick's - St Vincent High school at 1500 Benicia Road, Vallejo, CA. Check in time is 10-11am.
All Councils should be ordering your Coats for Kids and promoting this program. It's a great way to get involved with the community while helping out children in need of coats. There are a lot of young people who have never had a new coat...let's make a difference. I hope all Councils are actively selling their Christmas cards and magnets for the Keep Christ in Christmas program.
Thanksgiving is fast approaching. We will all be busy with family and friends and the holidays. Take time to pause and think about what we all have to be grateful for. We live in a free country. We are free to disagree with our Government thanks to our forefa-thers and their wisdom to rely on God's guidance in constructing our Constitution and establishing a Government controlled by the people. Now may God bless the people with the wisdom to do so.
God bless the Knights of Columbus. And God bless America.

SQUIRES NEWS Luncheon Fundraiser, Carmelite Nuns: Sat Oct 7th, 2017
The Fund Raiser for the Carmelite Nun’s in Georgetown organized by the Mt. Carmel Auxiliary was again a HUGE success! The Knights cooked a wonderful Italian meal, and the Auburn Squires coordinated the Youth
Groups to serve the meal and help with clean-up. Over 20 youth volunteered, and did a wonderful job, as always. Every-one enjoyed their gracious service, enthusiasm and smiles. Thank you all who made the afternoon such fun and fruitful event! Philip Fontes

LECTURER: Ron Roussey
St. Joan of Arc. I have previ-
ously written and spoke about her.
I learned much about her from a
book by Mark Twain which is
available through Ignatius Press.
This great writer thought it to be
the best of his books.
Today’s Gospel, Lk 12:39-48, brings her back to my
mind. Therein, we read of Christ’s warning to always
be prepared for the “master’s return” and from
whom much is given much is expected. There are
many times in the history of the Church when those
who were given much did not live up to expectations.
It seems, however, during each of those dark times,
the Holy Spirit brought forth others such as Sts. Igna-
tius, Francis, Neri, and Joan to pick up the load.
From St. Joan we learn one of my favorite prayers.
The Church authorities, the ones to whom much had
been given, were pestering her with questions hoping
to trap her into making some blasphemous statement.
Reminds me of the Pharisee’s constant efforts to trick
Christ into committing such an error with questions
about paying taxes to Cesar or which is the greatest
Commandment.
To St. Joan, they posed the question of
whether she believed she was in God’s
grace. She did not fall into their trap
by saying “yes” or “no”. She humbly
replied “If I am not, may it please God
to put me in it; if I am, may it please
God to keep me there.” An incredible display of hu-
mility and wisdom from an uneducated, illiterate,
teenage peasant girl.
What else I learn from her is more proof of the exis-
tence of God. There are many proofs of God’s exis-
tence commencing with the five logical proofs of-
fered by the great St. Aquinas. Those are wonderful
mental exercises. With St. Joan, however, no phi-
losophical reasoning ability is required. Hence, it
works well for me.
One just needs to be aware of the fact this adolescent
girl mounted a horse like a man and with no military
training was followed into battle by thousands of men.
She confronted Kings and all sorts of men as equals.
And this was done in a time when women, if they rode
at all, rode a horse side saddle. A time when women
were quiet and remained in the kitchen.
What explanation can there be for the miracle of her
life other than God’s will. Indeed, she must have been
“in His Grace.” We should all pray that we are also
and be ever prepared for His return.
Peace and Love, SK, Ron

Catholic Question & Answer Full Question: I am perplexed by the phrase in the Divine Mercy chaplet ,"I offer you the body and blood, soul and di-vinity, of your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world." I thought that was something only a priest could do during the sacrifice of the Mass. Surely the offering made in the Mass is different in some way than what is offered in praying this chaplet. What am I missing?
Answer: Saying that prayer is not the same as offering Mass. At Mass we participate in the one sacrifice that Jesus made for us. But because he made that sacrifice, that perfect prayer is now ours. Therefore we can always make reference to it. It is a most powerful prayer because it is his prayer. Basically, what we are saying to the Father is: "By the merits of his Passion, we ask for your mercy!"

Mother Lode Assembly #2778 KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
NEWS OCTOBER
Worthy Brother Sir Knights, Still looking for a home for the bar and someone who will bring it to our meetings and help run it. Our current bar tender has resigned, will someone please step up? Our meeting in September was at St. Joseph Marello in Granite Bay. For those not in attendance (and many were not) I announced that we had two officers resign. We now have openings for a Captain and Scribe. Both of these positions are vital to the assembly and need to be filled. If you want
to volunteer let me know at the next meeting for more information on the duties on these positions feel free to e-mail or call me or any other officer. October is here and you can feel fall in the air. As we celebrate Colum-bus Day we again hear the same question: why should we celebrate Columbus Day?. The KofC web page has a great set of articles that everyone should read. http://www.kofc.org/en/news/releases/honoring-our-namesake.html On another note my replacement uniform jacket arrived and it fits! The sale price has been extended to October 31st. The cost of the pants, jacket, tie and beret is $382.50. All active color corps mem-bers get $200 from our color corps fund to help pay for the new uniform. We will be doing fundraisers to build up the color corps fund to assist any brother who wants assistance in purchasing the new uniform. The new uniform will be required for all color corps members on 7/1/18. We are having a 15 year anniversary party! S/K Ricco Ches our hospitality chairman is planning a great event for the spring. Please support his efforts with any assistance you can offer and plan on attending. Our next meeting is in Colfax. I know it is a long drive for some, ask a fellow Sir Knight Brother if he needs a ride. Your attendance is important and vital to the success of this assembly.
God bless America and God bless the Knights of Columbus. FN SK Bruce Amundson

St Francis Xavier Cabrini November 13 In September 1877, Cabrini went to seek approval of the pope to establish missions in China. Instead, he sug-
gested to her that she go to the United States to help the Italian immigrants who were flooding to that nation
in that era, mostly in great poverty. "Not to the East, but to the West" was his advice.[6]
Cabrini left for the United States, arriving in New York City on March 31, 1889, along with six other sisters.[7] She encountered disappointment and difficulties at every step.[6] Archbishop Michael Corrigan, who was
not immediately supportive, found them housing at the convent of the Sisters of Charity, where they were
allowed to stay as long as necessary. She obtained the permission of the archbishop to found an orphanage,
which is located in West Park, New York today and is known as Saint Cabrini Home.
Cabrini organized catechism and education classes for the Italian immigrants and provided for the needs of
the many orphans. She established schools and orphanages despite tremendous odds. She was as resourceful as she was prayerful,
finding people who would donate what she needed in money, time, labor, and support.[8] In New York City, she founded Columbus
Hospital and Italian Hospital. In the 1980s, they were merged into Cabrini Medical Center.[4] The facility closed in 2008.
In Chicago, the sisters opened Columbus Extension Hospital (later renamed Saint Cabrini Hospital) in the heart of the city’s Italian
neighborhood on the Near West Side. Both hospitals eventually closed near the end of the 20th century. Their foundress’ name lives
on in Chicago's Cabrini Street.
She founded 67 institutions: in New York; Chicago; Des Plaines, Illinois; Seattle; New Orleans; Denver; Golden, Colorado; Los
Angeles; Philadelphia;[5] and in countries throughout South America and Europe. Long after her death, the Missionary Sisters would
achieve Cabrini's goal of being missionaries to China. In only a short time, after much social and religious upheaval there, the Sisters
left China and, subsequently, a Siberian placement.
Cabrini was naturalized as a United States citizen in 1909.[

VOCATIONS: Bill Gilsdorf:
My Brother Knights,
As Vocation Chairman for the Council I
am always saying to pray for Vocations
and of course everyone thinks of the
young men and women in the seminary or
the convent striving to be ordained or to
take their vows to Consecrated Life.
Vocation comes from the Latin word vo-
care which is translated to “calling” .
A “calling” to Religious life is understood
to be for life. That being said, we need to
support our Priests and Religious even af-
ter they are ordained or take their vows.
I would like to share with you that in Oc-
tober, Brother Knights Tim Reuter and
Ron Roussey took Fr. Cesar Ageas who
is our Pastor at St. Joseph Church and a
Brother Knight to Stampede Lake
which is up by Truckee. They had a
great day but all they caught was three
“Kokanee”.
Two weeks later, Brother Knights Ron
Roussey and Jeff Jones took Fr. Cesar on
a fishing trip to Pyramid Lake which is up
North of Sparks Nevada. As I understand
it, Fr. Cesar wore the lucky fishing hat
(see enclosed picture) that day and they
all caught a bunch of fish. Lahontan cut-
throat trout is the largest subspecies of
cutthroat trout, and the state fish of the
state of Nevada. How’s that for
“Supporting Vocations” Thanks and
God Bless , Brother Bill
Mark your calendars: join us Saturday, January

tional information in weeks to come.

families.
2017-2018 OFFICERS & CHAIRMEN
Lord, our God, you sent your Son into the
world to bear our infirmities and to endure
our sufferings. For your servants who are
sick, we ask that your blessings will give
them strength to overcome their weakness
through the power of patience and the com-
fort of hope and that with your aid they will
soon be restored to health. Amen
