How often do you meet a Missionary?
Natalia Schumann, who used to run the Vocations office for the Archdiocese of Denver has decided to go on a Mission with her family (Husband Ben, 2 year old Raleigh, and son in the Womb). They have been training with the Family Mission Company in Louisiana and will soon be going to Mexico for two years. Check out the link below to find out more about Ben, Natalia, Raleigh…
Seminarian Matthew Kane
Matthew splits his time between Pax Christi and St. Francis in Castle Rock, we tried to get him into our Council but he decided to Join St. Francis Council. We hope to get him involved.
My name is Matthew Kane and I was born in Denver on May 21, 1993 and grew up in Littleton, Colorado until I was in my early teens. I moved to Castle Pines with my family and have been there ever since. I first heard God calling me to the Holy Priesthood after I got back from a trip to World Youth Day in Madrid in 2011. It was in the morning and I was outside and suddenly I felt God say to me, “Matthew, you will become a Priest.” It was both exhilarating and simple. Ever since that great day, I have been studying at St. Gregory the Great Seminary in Seward, Nebraska and am entering my second year of Philosophy. God willing, I will be ordained in seven years. I also come from a family of seven, not including myself, and they have been wonderful to me in this process and are blessings from God. Please pray for me on my long, but exciting journey!
Fr. Mike
We have a new Priest assigned to our Parish. Fr. Michael Buckley was recently ordained and this is his first assignment. He is a first degree Knight so we are going to work on getting a stand alone second degree ceremony at the parish for Fr. Mike and any other first degree Knights.
Church Report
Church Director’s Report for September 2014 Newsletter
Although the five Sundays of August 2014 were in Ordinary Time, the Knights Church Directorate sought to make things special. We improved Knights Donuts by kicking things up a notch with designer donuts (e.g.,“turtles” – chocolate cake, chocolate icing, pecans and caramel; and Easter egg-inspired yellow cake, chocolate icing and coconut). We note that except for the Bismarks and cinnamon twists, all our donuts are diet donuts – they have holes.
Thanks to Matt Maranto, Knights Donutsnowhasa banana tree and serves upgraded Tang with real orange slices in a more attractive container. Matt was in charge on August 3, and ran Moms Group Donuts on August 17. I was in charge on August 10, and want to thank Pete Flatten and daughter McKenna for their help and companionship on that and other Sundays. Larry Call ran things on Labor Day Week-end Sunday. Art Myers remains our constant companion.
Our third Beer & Brats, on August 16, was the best of the summer. We had great weather, so everything was outside. Our costs were less than expected, and we received over $400.00 in donations. Parishioners consumed over 200 portions and we had less than a dozen hot dogs left over. Wine provided by John Starke, home-made ice cream served by Joe Regnery, and bountiful side dishes and desserts donated by the Ladies Auxiliary and other parishioners, ensured that this was no ordinary Beer & Brats.
The Church Directorate will continue to be busy this Fall. Knights Donuts is scheduled for September 14 and 21, and we’re helping the Stephen Ministry serve on September 7. Beer & Brats IV, on September13, is usually our biggest of the year. We’re also looking forward to October, the Month of the Rosary, when the Knights will be distributing Guide to Saying the Rosary pamphlets.
