The Knightly News Knights of Columbus St. Margaret Mary Council 11091

District # 45 www.kofc11091.org

From the Grand Knight’s Desk:

Faith makes all things possible, not

easy.

I am writing this from a nondescript

hotel room in Green Bay, Wisconsin

and I have had a heck of a busy

month, traveling and trying to

succeed in today’s world of

commerce. Not complaining, quite

the contrary. I am blessed to be busy. In the unsure world

we live in, it is so important to remember that we all have

struggles and many people would love to have mine. It’s

all in how you look at things that can make a significant

difference. There are many people in our Council, our

Parish our community and our friends and family that have

struggles. I think that Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent

is a really good time to see how we can help each other

more. I know that you and your families are all wonderful

and kind hearted people, after all you are part of this

wonderful giving Council. Just take a moment and think if

there is someone that could use a little help. Let your

fellow brothers know so we can try to help them as well.

As a salesman, I have been trained the ABC rule….

Always Be Closing. I am changing this rule for myself and

my family to ABG… Always be Giving.

We as a Council have lots of activities coming up,

including our first Fish Fry of the year this Friday night. It

is a great event with excellent food, and will be in newly

renovated hall. It takes a lot of Knights and their families

quite a bit of planning, time and effort to make this event

so successful. I encourage to come and help us serve our

community and make quick work of set up and clean up. I

believe there will be Knights there all day starting at 9 AM.

If you show up, we will give you something to do….. Also

invite your neighbors and friends. It is an awesome deal at

$12 per adult.

We have the annual Shamrock Shave coming up on the

11th. This year has special significance for Council. Team

Talia is hoping to raise money for Talia Freund’s benefit.

Talia and her family have struggled financially due to her

Sarcoma cancer. Please try to come and support Greg as

he shaves for Talia. Also as many of you already know we

serve all the food and it is not an easy task to serve so

many meals. We sure could use yours and your family’s

help setting up, serving and cleaning up after the event.

Save the date…. Saturday April 1st is our 24th annual

Anniversary Dinner. It is a fun filled evening with a great

dinner and great fellowship. We hope you will join us.

There are quite a few excellent articles in this month’s

Newsletter and I encourage to look at all the activities we

have coming up. We have lots of information on many

upcoming events.

We welcomed two new Knights to our ranks this month.

We are still 12 Knights away from our goal and I am

asking that all you please keep in mind while being a Star

Council is not our primary focus it sure would be another

excellent achievement. I thank you all for your efforts.

Bless you and your families this Lenten season. I am

honored and humbled to serve you.

Vivat Jesus

Talia Freund and Family Fund

Talia Freund (our Treasurer, Greg Freund’s daughter)

who turned 14 years old, was diagnosed last year with

Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. The

doctors have told her family that she will need

constant care. Living in a small town (Mazon, IL) has

its benefits, but also means they must do a lot of

traveling to get Talia the care she needs. Gas, tolls,

hotel, and meal cost are just a small part of what the

family needs help with. Doctor bills, hospital stays,

and specialists will add to the cost of her treatment all

too quickly. Of course, as any great parent would,

mom (Tabitha) will be by her side. But, to do this

means giving up the income she earns that is used to

support her family. Dads Greg and Joe will not ever

be far behind, but to do this will mean more missed

work and income. The money raised will be used to

get Talia the best care possible and to make sure her

family can be there to care for her. The following

link goes directly to her Go Fund Me page

https://www.gofundme.com/2f49un8

Please consider giving what you can.

Sessions start Tuesday March 7

It is estimated that over 32 million adults in the U.S.

(one in 10 people) were raised Catholic and no longer

identify themselves as members of the Church. How

many do you know?

Each Fall and Spring our parish invites Catholics who

have been away to attend our Catholics Returning

Home sessions. One of the Catholics who attended

these sessions had the following to say:

“When I think about my experience, the first word

that comes to mind is "welcoming." I was happy to

meet people with such an interest in my experiences

and an eagerness to offer the help I was looking for. It

was an opportunity to learn more about my faith from

Deacons and others, and to feel like a welcome part of

the Church again”.

Through this 6 week program we hope to help

participants feel welcome in our parish and ease back

into the Church updating their knowledge about

Church teachings. The Spring sessions all take place

during Lent and begin Tuesday, March 7 at 7:30PM in

room 7 of the Ministry Center.

Why not invite someone you know and consider

coming with them to help them overcome their fears?

Forward this link to someone you know and invite

them home today!

Church lobby, check our parish website or call brother

knight Dave Philipps at 815-347-6093.

LENTEN FRIDAY KNIGHT FISH FRY Friday Knight Fish Fry

It has started – Lent is here, so our

first Friday Knight Fish Fry’s is March 3rd, then

on March 24th and the final one on April 7th. The

event will be held at SMM McDonnell Hall

between the hours of 4:30pm -8:30pm.

We’ll be putting our newly renovated McDonnell

Hall kitchen to a full operational test. No more

having to fry everything outdoors under the tents.

We’re making a few other changes to the menu.

Along with the standard Shrimp cocktail appetizer

we’re adding our Founders Days fan fav ‘Big Bang

Shrimp’. For your main entrée choices along with

the fried Cod, were offering a fried perch choice.

The baked fish is being changed to a Tilapia filet

with a choice of a lemon dill or creamy dill topping.

And for those who can’t get enough of our Big

Band Shrimp appetizer, we’re also offering it in a

Po-Boy sandwich. We still have the Sautéed Shrimp

and paste over a creamy tomato sauce. And for

those not fond of the piscatorial choices, we

offering the pizza, grilled cheese, 2 types of

homemade soups and our endless salad bar. Then

finish it off with an ice cream sundae or some

homemade desserts.

We also like to add a sense of homemade

community touch to the event by offering

homemade dessert. Have a family special dessert,

please consider donating a dessert that can be

offered to all. Donations can be dropped

off Friday at McDonnell Hall before serving time.

To make this a success, we’ll need lots of help and

lots of hunger customer, so please consider lending

a hand and spreading the word to prospect

customers – family, friends, neighbors, lets pack the

place. As for the help, I’ll be starting

my Friday with a breakfast at Rainbow Café at 8

AM, come join me so I’m not eating alone. Will

then plan on starting all the set-up after breakfast,

plan to be at McDonnell hall from 10 am to 10 PM.

Whatever time you can offer is greatly

appreciated.

Have an questions, comments or plan to volunteer

please contact Ken Prigge

Thank You,

Christopher Hubbuch

Deputy Grand Knight

Please mark the calendar for the weekend

of March 4th and 5th when the Pro Life

Committee will distribute baby bottles into

which parishioners can put loose change and

then collected to provide money to benefit

Crisis Pregnancy Center of South Elgin

In years past Helen and I have sold flowers

on Mothers Day, to benefit the Pregnancy

Center in Elgin, which has a Van

Mounted Ultrasound machine. The

ultrasound display has been very effective as

women who are contemplating an abortion

have decided against one, once they see the

ultrasound and realize there really is a baby

growing in their womb.

This year, Helen and I will be out of town

Mother's Day weekend seeing our oldest

Grandchild, John, graduating from College.

As a result I am hoping someone from the

parish will help organize this function, this

year. I will forward details with the next

newsletter and the Parish Bulletin.

Please leave a message on our phone - 847-

658-8379 , or send an email

to geojost@sbcglobal.net if you can help. I

know it's early, but wanted to send an alert

as soon as possible. Mothers Day

weekend is May 13 and 14

Thank you,

George Jost

451 W. Terra Cotta Ave. (Route 176) in Crystal

Lake to learn more about the Knights of Columbus

by advancing to your 2nd (formation) and 3rd

(Knighthood) degrees. This is a worthwhile

opportunity that you won’t regret, whether you have

not yet advanced to the third degree or serves as a

great “refresher” in the lessons taught in these

degrees. The 2nd degree starts at 2:00 p.m., and we

will be carpooling from St. Margaret Mary. Please

Kevin Wright if you are interested in attending.

Father McGivney Guild

The Father McGivney Guild was established to

promote the cause for the canonization of our

founder, Father Michael J. McGivney. Membership

in the Guild is open to anyone who wishes to share

in this mission of making known the life and work

of Father McGivney and of encouraging devotion to

his memory. THERE IS NO COST TO BE A

GUILD MEMBER. As a member of the Guild you

progress of this cause for canonization.

Membership in the Knights of Columbus DOES

NOT automatically enroll you in the Guild, to add

some perspective of the 73,000 Knights members in

the State of Illinois, only 7,200 are Guild members.

Please visit the Guild website at

http://www.fathermcgivney.org or complete the

attached included with the newsletter to become a

Guild member. Thank you for your support.

HOOPSMANIA!

I know you will be watching the college basketball

tournament which begins on March 16. So why not

have teams to cheer for? Our council is

participating in the Charity Mania contest by selling

tickets for $20 each. Of that, $14 goes directly to

our council. This is similar to our FootballMania in

the fall, but your teams are not picked until just

before the tournament starts and the rankings are

announced. Each card comes with a seed numbered

1 through 8, so everyone has a chance to win.

Grand Prize is $2,000, but there are more than 45

chances to win!

Please pick up tickets at the next meeting and return

the stubs with payments to Kevin Wright on or

before April 15. You can also send this link

http://www.charitymania.com/give/Y7029 to

family and friends anywhere, and they can buy their

E-Tickets on-line.

planning for the Men’s Fall Retreat. This year it

will be September 21 – 24th. It will be at the Deer

Lake Resort, located in Presque Isle, Wisconsin.

We will begin collecting deposits at the March

meeting and will continue to do so until we have the

maximum number of men we can accommodate.

Questions? Talk to any Knight who has attended in

the past. Stu Kuczynski and Ken Prigge are the

main contacts and will be doing the collecting.

What Should I Do For Lent? Pope Francis' 10 Tips

Every year Catholics try to answer the age old question: What should I do for Lent? Well, who better to pick for as your

Lenten spiritual director than Pope Francis? He has some great ideas for you! Here we selected 10 of his best tips: 1. Get rid of the lazy addiction to evil “[Lent] is a ‘powerful’ season, a turning point that can foster change and conversion in each of us. We all need to improve, to change for the better. Lent helps us and thus we leave behind old habits and the lazy addiction to the evil that deceives and ensnares us.” – General Audience, March 5, 2014 2. Do something that hurts “Lent is a fitting time for self-denial; we would do well to ask ourselves what we can give up in order to help and enrich others by our own poverty. Let us not forget that real poverty hurts: no self-denial is real without this dimension of penance. I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt.” – Lenten Message, 2014 3. Don’t remain indifferent “Indifference to our neighbor and to God also represents a real temptation for us Christians. Each year during Lent we need to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry out and trouble our conscience. God is not indifferent to our world; he so loves it that he gave his Son for our salvation.” –Lenten Message, 2015 4. Pray: Make our hearts like yours! “During this Lent, then, brothers and sisters, let us all ask the Lord: ‘Fac cor nostrum secundum cor tuum’: Make our hearts like yours (Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus). In this way we will receive a heart which is firm and merciful,

attentive and generous, a heart which is not closed, indifferent or prey to the globalization of indifference.” – Lenten Message, 2015 5. Take part in the sacraments “Lent is a favorable time for letting Christ serve us so that we in turn may become more like him. This happens whenever we hear the word of God and receive the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. There we become what we receive: the Body of Christ.” – Lenten Message, 2015 6. Prayer “In the face of so many wounds that hurt us and could harden our hearts, we are called to dive into the sea of prayer, which is the sea of God’s boundless love, to taste his tenderness. Lent is a time of prayer, of more intense prayer, more prolonged, more assiduous, more able to take on the needs of the brethren; intercessory prayer, to intercede before God for the many situations of poverty and suffering.” – Homily, March 5, 2014 7. Fasting “We must be careful not to practice a formal fast, or one which in truth ‘satisfies’ us because it makes us feel good about ourselves. Fasting makes sense if it questions our security, and if it also leads to some benefit for others, if it helps us to cultivate the style of the Good Samaritan, who bends down to his brother in need and takes care of him.” – Homily, March 5, 2014 8. Almsgiving “Today gratuitousness is often not part of daily life where everything is bought and

sold. Everything is calculated and measured. Almsgiving helps us to experience giving freely, which leads to freedom from the obsession of possessing, from the fear of losing what we have, from the sadness of one who does not wish to share his wealth with others.” – Homily, March 5, 2014 9. Help the Poor “In the poor and outcast we see Christ’s face; by loving and helping the poor, we love and serve Christ. Our efforts are also directed to ending violations of human dignity, discrimination and abuse in the world, for these are so often the cause of destitution. When power, luxury and money become idols, they take priority over the need for a fair distribution of wealth. Our consciences thus need to be converted to justice, equality, simplicity and sharing.” – Lenten Message, 2014 10. Evangelize “The Lord asks us to be joyous heralds of this message of mercy and hope! It is thrilling to experience the joy of spreading this good news, sharing the treasure entrusted to us, consoling broken hearts and offering hope to our brothers and sisters experiencing darkness.” – Lenten Message, 2014 You probably won’t be able to take huge steps forward in all of these areas. Instead, pick a couple that stand out to you and try to find practical ways to grow in your love of God and your love of your neighbor.
