Brothers,
On 2/27 we have the one and only fundraiser for the Council for the year. The 47th Annual Crab feed is a success because of the support of
our entire membership. PGK Tim Tuttle is working hard at selling tickets and coordinating as “Head Crab”. I’m actively working on the
server schedule and other responsibilities as “Jr. Crab”. On the weekend of 2/13-14, and 2/20-21, we will be selling tickets in the vestibule of both SES and ST. A. after each mass. Please contact Tim
if you can help sell tickets at the mass you regularly attend. The Silent Auction is headed by Bro. Robert Federighi. His team of volunteers
needs help in asking friends, family, and business contacts for donations (see donation letter attached). Thanks in advance to all the brothers who always step up to make this event a success. Please
come to the business meeting on 2/11 as we finalize our sign-up sheets. For all the committee chairs, please contact Tim and me by
email for our final planning session at the officers meeting this Thursday 2/4. I pray that our efforts will result is continued support
for local charities in need!
Please note that we are back on our regular schedule for meetings: 7pm officer’s meeting on the 1st Thursday of the month; 7pm for the
business meeting on the 2nd Thursday of the month – dinner served,
then meeting begins no later than 7:45.
February will be a very busy month. This weekend, February 6th, eight
of the 11 brothers from our district will become 4th degree Knights! I look forward to witnessing their ceremony in Rohnert Park. Please
mark your calendar as we begin the Lenten Season with Ash Wednesday 2/10. Last Wed, Fr. Lawrence D’Anjou requested our Council to sign up for the “40 days for Life” campaign”. For details,
contact our Pro-life chairman, PGK Lou Santero or visit this website:
40daysforLife.com/San Ramon or [email protected]
On deck for March is a number of important events: the final membership drive for the Columbian year, the Annual St. Patrick’s Day event, and Holy Week comes early this year: Palm Sunday is 3/20, the
Triduum 3/24-26, and Easter Sunday on 3/27. Please be ready to sign
up for our heavy involvement during these events and high holy days!
(Continued on next page)
Finally, I want to thank everyone for being flexible in January to accommodate Fr. Paul’s Thursday night “Mercy Beyond Borders” Adult formation series. It was great to see so many
Knights attend the sessions. Likewise, major thanks to all those who stepped up to help for the “Arise & Build Pledge Weekend”. Last but not least, thanks to Mark Worrell and all the
volunteers who helped run the Annual Free Throw Competition yesterday at the JP2 gym. A few years back, a CCOP winner went all the way to State Championships! I know this is not ideal, but if anyone is able to help Bro. Mark with the District Championships on 2/14 (St.
Isidore gym from 5-7pm) many hands makes for light work!
Thanks in advance to everyone for your hard work at the Crab Feed. May you and your family
be blessed this Lenten Season!
GK Paul Unpingco

With our council now reaching 300 member, it’s becoming harder to identify our Brothers. Even those who of us who remain very active have trouble at times to put
a name to a brothers face. Active or in active we want your photo in our new photo roster.
Email your picture to [email protected] OR attend one of our
Business Meetings on the 2nd Thursday of the month. We hope to have the project completed ASAP so don’t delay; do it today.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN…..
Hello Brothers,
It is membership drive time again. Our next membership
drive is March 5-6. If you have any friends that are considering membership please let me know
and I will contact them. This month would be a great time to
show your Knights of Columbus spirit by wearing your council shirt and/or jacket at Mass. This
months business meeting, Thursday the 11th, is the only
opportunity to pass out a sign-up sheet for volunteers to help
man the vestibule tables. If you wish to help at one of the services on the weekend of
March 5-6, and missed the February business meeting,
please send me an email at [email protected] or call my cell at (925) 202-3576.
Thanks in advance for any help you would like to provide. Also, if
you have any advice as to how we could improve the membership drive event please
let me know.
We should have EIGHT new fourth degree Knights by the
next business meeting. At the time I am writing this I am one week away from the ceremony. I am very excited and motivated. I am sure it will be just as fantastic and
everyone says.
God Bless,
Darren

holding a brief informational, meet and greet, prior to our February 11 and March 10 general meetings 7:00 to 7:30 PM. Please bring your interested associates for this short
meet and greet.
On February 6th we will be having 8 brothers completing their 4th Degree exemplification
and will now be known as Sir Knight’s. Come to our next Business meeting February 11th

May God light your path,
SK Jeff Brent

A small group of Knights are gathering prizes for our Silent Auction which will be held 27 February. I am hoping that in addition to this small solicitation group, our
members will give serious thought to providing prizes as well. Whether you own a business that could supply a product, are a professional that could offer a service,
a member that has a summer home for use, something of value that is just taking up space in your closet or if you're doing business with a firm that may be able to
help us, please know that all donations are welcomed and appreciated.
Last year brother knights personally gave or approached friends who owned businesses who donated prizes which accounted for a very large part of the almost
money raised for charities and ministries. This made a huge affect on our success and I'm optimistic this will happen again but only accompanied with a lot of
prayer.
A solicitation letter is provided for this purpose. MS Word and PDF files for that letter are attached to the email that distributed this Newsletter. Please bring your
donation to the February Officers or Business meeting or call SK Robert Federighi [925-248-2033, [email protected]] for pick up.
DICTATED BY OUR LORD JESUS TO RELEASE 1000 SOULS FROM PURGATORY EACH

Said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in
Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal

Worthy Grand Knights and Brothers !!!
It is my pleasure to share with you the note that comes from home office below !!! We all know as a Grand Knight we are the leader of our council and we must be
proud of the Company we represent !! We need all of you and your confidence as a wonderful Grand Knight to encourage all brothers and their families to contribute to
their own family benefits. When they give to our mutual Company that we all own it is the greatest feeling in our hearts. Many can be proud of saying they give to God
by volunteering their time contributing their money. Those who believe Knights of Columbus are a brotherly love Company that gives them and their family the
opportunity for wonderful Insurance, retirement, disability and Long Term Care benefits. Knowing that when they contribute to the Knights they are guaranteed that
we will never give to helping with same sex marriage, stem cell research or abortion.
