Knight of the Month- Past Grand Knight Jim Yurack Family of the Month- Jim and Amy Yurack Family

Heartfelt thanks to Brother Jim for his leadership this past year as Grand

Knight and all that he and his family did to support our council.

Life Director, Dave Halupowski Explains Summer on the Sidewalk The abortion clinic in Pensacola is operating constantly after months of inactivity. After reviewing

their application for a license, we discovered that they do not have an admitting agreement with any

hospital as was stated on their application.

We invite everyone to join in in prayer outside the abortion clinic especially during these times:

Please be aware that other individuals also conduct vigils outside the clinic that do not share our

quiet, prayerful approach which focuses on the people involved and their emotional needs. If you find

yourself in the midst of this group, we suggest you leave and return another time. We also suggest you do

not show up alone at night and also conduct your vigil together with others.

If you would like to get training as a sidewalk advocate, contact Mary Beth and Ernie: Program Director(s): Mary Beth & Ernie – Pensacola, FL

Phone: 850-889-1035 Email: sidewalkadvocate@eccfl.org

Please Help a Brother In Distress- The Capt Christopher Brooks Fund

Brother Chris, member of Mary Esther Council 8910, was reassigned to MA by the USAF. In

arranging for housing, he was the victim of fraud resulting in a $5000 loss and no house for his family

when they arrived. Additionally, his wife is in a high-risk pregnancy and must be close to hospitals in

Boston which restricts the available places to live and incurs further financial strain.

We are taking up a collection among four councils to help the Brooks family in this time of

financial need. If you are able, please mail a donation to our Financial Secretary, Lenny Smales, at

the same address you send your dues. Please enclose a note indicating the funds are for Capt Chris

Brooks. Vivat Jesus!
