St. Paul the Apostle Council 9652 March-April 2015
LENT A PERSONAL JOURNEY
Lent, a time of reflection and a time of risk. We hear the same message year after year, and yet, like going to
the confessional or attending Mass, we need a constant reminder of our failings. The challenge for each of us
is to accept God’s unconditional love, even with our faults. Accepting and receiving Jesus into our hearts, is
the healing we so need and yearn for.
This Lent I am proud to say that our Council is working hard to give us a forum to explore tools, allowing
each of us to move closer to walk with Jesus more freely.
The first event we will hold is a joint sponsorship with The Catholic Woman’s League. On March 5th a Re-
treat will take place at St. Paul the Apostle, beginning with a light meal at 6pm in the Hall. It is important to
note that this retreat is open to all parishioners.
The second event we will host is, the Stations of the Cross on Friday, March 27th, 7 pm in the Church
Our Parish is very much alive. Although we have our own sponsored events, other groups are holding their
own, as well. There are many opportunities such as Faith Development on Tuesday evenings, First Friday
Adoration, and Stations of the Cross each Friday, throughout Lent. These events and times of spiritual reflec-
tion are open to all parishioners. I encourage each of our members to look at the Church Bulletin for these
and other ways to explore your own personal Lenten journey. Take up the Cross and know you are loved and
not alone. .
Vivat Jesus!

Chaplain’s Remarks Father Leo Byrne
Brother Knights, As we begin Lent we look to Easter 2015. From Ashes God will bring new life to our lives, parish, church and world at Easter 2015. Sunday Masses are the most important “anchors” of our prayer lives during Lent. St. Paul The Apostle also offers other opportunities to deepen our faith such as Faith Development Series, Stations of the Cross each Friday in Lent at 7:00 pm. Holy Week – Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday encompasses the most important week of the Christian Year. I encourage you to make these days special for partici-pation in the liturgies and life. Vivat Jesus!
In this season of Lent, we are reminded to forgive & be forgiven. Remember, “ to err is human; to for-give is divine”.“Keep Christ at the centre of your daily life”. The membership of Council 9652 at time of report is 156 members, with the addition of our “new member” at a 1st degree on Feb.22. Please welcome Mark Penate into our council, along with his wife Martha. We have 89 Associate, 65 Insurance, & 2 Inactive members. This includes 20 Honorary Life, 9 Honor-ary & 4 Disabled members. I encourage all members, aware of any men within our parish of St. Paul’s, who show an interest in be-coming a member of the Knights of Columbus, to
assist them in gaining info on who we are & what we do for our parish & community. I also encourage all members to keep me aware of any personal contact info that changes, to keep our records current. As you are all aware, the 2015 membership dues are now payable. The 2nd notice has been sent out & I am encouraging members who have not sent in their dues, to do so, and keep in “Good Standing” with your council. I thank those who have an-swered this request. If you have concerns, please contact me. Vivat Jesus !! Dale Tuepah Fin Sec H) 613-389-2174 C) 613-329-5284 dale.tuepah@bell.net

Community & Culture of Life Br. David Caracciolo
"An extraordinarily sad day in the history of our country" - Catholic Register Feb 15, 2015. http://www.catholicregister.org/item/19688-cardinal-collins-state-is-wrong-to-permit-assisted-suicide Reaction from Catholic leadership to the Feb 6th Supreme Court of Canada ruling legalizing assisted sui-cide has been swift and unequivocal. Toronto Cardinal Collins: "Simply wrong" and indicates a society that "has lost its moral compass." Doc-
tors "are called to be servants of healing, not agents of death". Archbishop Durocher, president of CCCB: Helping someone commit suicide is "neither an act of justice or
mercy, nor is it part of palliative care". Michele Boulva, Catholic Org. for Life and Family: "the Supreme Court is giving us permission to kill. We
cannot overstate the gravity." Taylor Hyatt, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, who has cerebral palsy: "extremely disappointed" "people
with disabilities who believe their conditions are non-terminal and insufferable could request assistance to end their life. That means me"
The Institute of Marriage and Family referred to studies that show safeguards are not always effective. It "sees no evidence that 'suicide creep' won't also happen in Canada"
Alex Schadenberg, director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition: "The Supreme Court is naive to think that assisted suicide will not be abused, when abuse already occurs"
Moira McQueen, director, Canadian Catholic Bioethics Institute: "Direct killing can never be 'good' for humanity. There is more need than ever to work for accessible palliative care"
Prayer for Life: For those considering euthanasia or suicide due to pain or despair, that they may find com-passionate care. Vivat Jesus!
Insurance Matters Br. Stephen Henderson
Insurance Check-up for 2015
Where did 2014 go? It seems like it was summer yesterday and Easter was last week.
I hope you and your family had a great finish to 2014. Now, the first quarter of 2015 is flying by.
Hopefully, you’ve established a few goals for this year. I’ve learned a great tip regarding resolu-tions. First, write them down. It’s not too late if you haven’t already done this. Commit your goals to paper and post it someplace you will see it often. Writing down a goal is the first step
towards achieving it. It may not make sense at first, but I’m sure you have heard stories of the success this sim-ple task can bring. Whether your goal is to exercise more, give more to charity, read more or watch less televi-sion, you’re more likely to accomplish it if you write it down.
Second, resolve to have an expert look at your finances. I recommend that you have a team of experts help you, and I would love to be the first you sit with. Let’s schedule some time to meet together, and I, your profession-al Knights of Columbus insurance agent, will provide an “insurance check-up” (at no cost!) that will evaluate any gaps in your family’s life insurance protection. Now might be the perfect time to fill those gaps, not later. Keep in mind that unlike many other products, you don’t just need money to obtain life insurance; you also need good health, and no one knows when your health could change.
Did I mention my check-up is free of charge? When was the last time you received something for free that could provide value to you and your family for generations? Call me today.

CONGRATULATIONS to all these
Brother Knights!
Chancellor’s Report Brs. Eric Myers / Aubert Pereira
Opening Thought: If Easter says anything to us today, it says this: You can put truth in a grave, but it won't
stay there. You can nail it to a cross, wrap it in winding sheets and shut it up in a tomb, but it will rise!
Clarence W. Hall

Homographs and Ponderisms
Homographs are words of like spelling but with more than one meaning. A homograph that is also pro-
nounced differently is a heteronym. And you think that English is easy….?
The wind was too strong to wind the sail. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
Ponderisms? Well, think about them…..!
Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to
make it normal. [Homographs: Keith Fernandes (Vancouver); Ponderisms: Nick DaCosta (England)]
Knightly News, March-April 2015 Pg. 6 Council 9652, Kingston, ON
Our Council’s best success in raising funds for Charity always de-
pends upon the work and participation of all the members. The lesson
taught in the First Degree was on the Virtue of Charity. The lesson empha-
sized Charity as one of the foundations of Knighthood. Year to date we
have 32 members who have taken tickets to sell on their own and 49 mem-
bers who have sold tickets in the mall. We have 153 members in our coun-
cil. Could it be that some of our members just aren’t aware of the council’s
need for help. If you can, please give us a helping hand.
An important part of Lent is alms giving. Why not exercise the Vir-
tue of Charity and give $50.00 to Knights of Columbus Charity Raffle and
buy a book. If this is too expensive for you, why not buddy up with a broth-
er Knight and share the cost of a book. To purchase a book of tickets call
Brother Dale Tuepah cell 613-329-5284, home 613-389-2174. If you would
like to sell tickets in the Cataraqui Mall please call Brother Howard Galli-
van home 613-389-7948.
Our future Mall Sales
Monday, March 16 – Sunday, March 22
Monday, April 13 – Sunday, April 19
Monday, April 27 – Sunday, May 03
Monday, June 01 – Sunday, June 07
As of February 17 we have issued 69 books and have sold $850.00 worth of tickets. Our Cataraqui
mall sales for three events have realized $1372.20. Total for Individual and mall sales is $2,222.20. Brother
Dale and I would like to thank those members who have given of
their time to work on this event. Brother Dale, as he did last year,
is running a draw for participating members. Each member who
sells a book of tickets or completes a shift at the mall will have
his name entered into the Participation Draw.
God Bless you all
Vivat Jesus!

Ladies Appreciation Night 2015
In Appreciation, Still and Again
The Knights of Columbus is sometimes described as a fraternity and in a way that’s accurate; membership is
limited to men. But it would be unfortunate to let that description define or limit who we really are and what
we really can be. As a “family” organization the participation of our spouses and children is and should be
integral. From the experience of our own council we have firsthand knowledge of the important role many of
our wives play in supporting our efforts, helping out with our projects and enabling our ability to make the
time to participate. It has been and continues to be an important priority to involve families in our activities.
And so, each year we make time to formally acknowledge and appreciate our wives’ support.

EASTER FIND
An egg hunt is an Easter tradition in
many parts of the world. Brightly col-
ored eggs are hidden where children
can find them, and put them in their
baskets. Similarly, if we look for Je-
sus, we will find him.
Joyful ‘toons (by Mike Waters)
BREAD OF LIFE
Jesus said in John 6:35 "I am the
bread of life". It is up to the believers
to take the Bread of Life (Jesus) out
of the Bakery (the church building),
to where the hungry people are. Af-
ter eating "Satan's Garbage", the
aroma of the Bread of Life will cer-
tainly smell good.
Editor’s Note Br. Aubert Pereira
January and February saw the completion of the Basketball Free Throw in all four parish schools . The Alcolol and Drug Abuse Poster contest was also run during these months. Shaun Tymchuk’s report and related photos appear on Pgs. 7-9. The Annual Ladies Appreciation Night was held in February and was a very enjoyable event. Photos appear on Pgs. 12-15.
Finally, an event that our Council has supported - the St. John Fisher Dinner on the 18th March. Our parish recently had a Missionary from the CCO at Queen’s visit to raise funds, so some of you may al-ready know something about the CCO. It is a worthwhile cause to support. Again, our Council has booked a table to support this cause.
We have welcomed new members over the past few weeks. So, when they attend meetings do welcome them. I have met several parishioners who say they decided to attend St. Paul’s because of the wel-come they experienced when they first attended. Let this same spirit extend to our new members.
Phoebe and I wish you and your families a Holy and Happy Easter
Vivat Jesus!
