Brother Knights,
I wish to thank all my brother knights and members of the ladies auxiliary for the work that they did on Friday, December 11, 2009 for the Mayor's Senior Citizen's luncheon. We served between 300 and 400 Senior citizens of Gretna. It is times like this that we show the public what our organization is about. I was told by a former knight that he is considering reinstating himself in our Council and I invited him to come to our family social and also the first meeting in the New Year. Let us ALL do our part in inviting our fellow Catholic men to join us between now and the end of our calendar year. We can
make our quota if we all do our part.
Vivat Jesus!
Roy / Grand Knight (roy37@aol.com)
Our January Family Social is also our Religious Appreciation Night. Please note that the family social is on January 15th which is the third Friday of the month in January. Mark your calendars and come show your support for our Religious. As always we have a great meal planned. Hope to see you there.
Family of the Month for December
Mary Ellen and Albert Chauvin
Friday, January 15, 2010 is Religious Appreciation Night. Brothers we must have a good showing. Too often there are more individuals from the different parishes then members from our Council. Please plan to attend.
Sunday, January 24, 2010 we will have our Pro-Life and Quarterly Communion at St. Anthony Church, 10:30am Mass. Breakfast and brunch to follow at the council hall.
Well, by the time this gets to everyone Christmas will have come and gone. I hope everyone had a blessed day and a great New Year. We have a few things on the horizon, such as our Civic Appreciation Dinner that will come in March. Mardi Gras is just around corner and 1905 can always use help at the Lundi Gras event on the drink booths. Hopefully I will see everyone at the January regular meeting and I will have lots more information for you.
Vivat Jesus,
Bob Mayville

This month's meeting is at Santa Maria on Jan 27th. There is a District Meeting on January 23rd in Lake Charles. The next Exemplification is on February 27th at St. Rita Church in Harahan. Ask a 3rd degree brother knight to join the Fourth Degree. The cost for candidates is only $70 and includes their banquet ticket, baldric and Fourth Degree pin. The candidate has a chance to win a sword and if you are the proposer, you have a chance to win a Fourth Degree watch if you attend the banquet. Don’t delay, ask someone to join today.
Brother Knights, start the New Year right and ask someone to join the Knights of Columbus. You will be helping the order grow and helping the council grow.
Vivat Jesus.

I TOLD YOU SO!!!! For several months we have been telling that ours is a great council with outstanding members. Here is the proof. Brother James Fogarty represented us at the STATE NINE-BALL TOURNAMENT in Lafayette. He came in third in a large field. Congratulations James and thanks for being our man in Lafayette.
On December 12th brothers Glenn Esteve, Troy Dendinger, and Lynn Boudreaux travelled all the way to Westwego to represent us in the Area "B" Gumbo Cook-off. They beat out all the competition and will represent us and Area "B" at the Grand Knights' day State finals in Lafayette, in January. YOU GO GUYS!!!!
Next we expect to field at least 2 teams at the State Bowling Tournament in February at Mandeville. Council 1905 usually does well in Bowling. FYI: there are plans underway to build brand-spanking new Bowling lanes on the Westbank, and they will be owned by a member of 1905.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, January 20th at 7:30 pm. Rosary will be recited before the meeting. Start your new year off right by getting more involved in your auxiliary.

Schedule some time to visit with me, for an “insurance check-up” that I’ll provide (free of charge). I’ll quickly identify any gaps in your family’s life insurance program. You also need good health, and no one will ring a bell warning you when your health is about to change. Knights of Columbus life insurance offers something precious few other financial products can – guarantees. As long as you pay your premiums, the policy proceeds will be there for your beneficiaries should something happen to you. We call that peace of mind, and that’s priceless. Please contact me for any insurance needs or questions. I am always available to help you in any way I can.
I
hope that everyone had a good Christmas and that you all have a good New Year.
Lucien "Lucio" Macaluso passed away on December 11 at the
age of 88. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.
Please continue to pray for our sick brothers and sisters and keep them
in your prayers. If you’d like to be added to or removed from the list, please
call me or e-mail me at: ffalgo@hotmail.com

This is the first of a series on the changes to the words we say at Mass that will be taking place in the coming year. The Introductory Rites include everything that happens from the moment you stand until you sit down for the first time. Some changes will be minor and almost unnoticeable. For instance, at the greeting, the priest may say “The Lord be with you.” The response is currently “And also with you”. This will change to a response of “And with your spirit”.
A more noticeable change will be in the Penitential Rite or the Confiteor. It begins “I confess to almighty God.” Below is a current translation beside the new translation. The changes are in bold print.
|
Current Translation
I confess to almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have sinned through my own fault in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; and I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin, all the angels and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord, our God.
|
New Translation
I confess to almighty God and to you, my Brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, All the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Next month, we will look at the changes to the Gloria. The changes to the Gloria will be the biggest changes that we will notice.
