Right ARm of the ChuRCh
Next weekend in Jefferson City, Fr. Reginald, Bishop McKnight,
and Newman's Steve Hemmann will join thousands of other Catholic
gentlemen as full members of the Knights of Columbus in the fourth
degree. The members of the Newman Center council congratulate all
the new Sir Knights.
The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men's organization that
was started in
1882 by Fr. Michael J. McGivney as a way to unite men of faith
and to provide for families of deceased members. The organization
models itself on the four principles of charity, unity, fraternity,
and patriotism (the Knights were instrumental in getting the phrase
"under God" included in the pledge of allegiance).
The Mizzou Knights pride ourselves on our charitable activities.
In the last year we were able to give over $8,500 to charities
including the parish, Pro-Life groups, the Food Bank, and Special
Olympics to name just a few. We raise the money through tailgating
before MU football games, brunches, and our Lenten fish fry.
When it was originally founded, members met once or twice a
month for prayer and fellowship. We continue that today, beginning
and ending every meeting with prayer. All the decisions we make are
based on faith: deciding what organizations to support, where our
funds go, how we spend our time together. We celebrate fraternity
with SEC muffins, man-mosas, and chili-cheese-brat-burger-dogs
(with kraut, of course). We get together for holidays with our
families and assist our brothers when the times are tougher.
The Knights of Columbus around the world has fashioned itself as
the "strong right arm of the church." In these times where it is
often the church itself that has done much of the harm, the Knights
are prepared to stand for the faith that began when Jesus called
some fishermen to follow him. Through our Building the Domestic
Church campaign, we are focusing on the family and strengthening
the bonds that tie us all together in the belief that how we live
our faith in the parish and community will have a ripple effect
that will benefit the world.
We, the Newman Center Knights of Columbus, have accomplished
great things here at the parish and in the community. Much of that
is thanks to you, the Newman parishioners, for attending our events
and being generous with your donations. As Jesus said, however,
"the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few" (Luke 10:2).
Simply put, we could use a few more hands. We are able to do so
much good and would be honored to have more of the men of the
parish to help do those things. We don't ask for a lot of your
money or much of your time, just what you feel you can give. We are
younger fathers and retired grandfathers and have a place for
everyone in between. If you are interested or have questions,
please email us at [email protected]. We look forward to
hearing from you.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Next week is the annual Parish Picnic! Come to the Gordon
Shelter in Stephens Lake Park (see photo below) on Sunday, October
14. Food will be served from 12:30 to 2 p.m., but you are welcome
to join us any time from 12-3 p.m. The main dish (from CoMo Smoke
and Fire) and drinks will be provided. Parishioners are asked to
bring a dish as follows:
• Last name: A - O: salad/side dish• Last name P-Z: dessert
There will be games for children and a door prize raffle from a

good company!
CAtholiC SteWARdShip AppeAlOur Catholic Stewardship Appeal
begins in our parish this week. In this annual event, Catholics
from across the diocese pledge their prayers and support for vital
ministries and services to our parishes and communities. In the
next couple of weeks, you will receive a letter from Bishop
McKnight inviting you
to participate in this year's appeal. As you reflect on the
information about the CSA and the life of our Church, please
remember that we are called to give out of gratitude. God's
blessings are so abundant, who does not have reason to be
grateful?

such as ours, to repackage food for the recipients. In September,
30 Newman volunteers bagged 3 crates of carrots! Thanks to all who
came, especially those there for the first time! If you've never
volunteered at the Food Bank, give it a try this month. There are
jobs for anyone 9 years old or older. For those of you who can't
stand for a longer lengths of time, they supply tall chairs that
allow you to work while sitting or you can label bags sitting down.
If you need volunteer hours for school or confirmation class, this
is a great, easy way to earn them. Bring friends or family members,
if you'd like; all are welcome. The Food Bank requires that
volunteers not wear open toed shoes, such as flip-flops, as a
safety concern and to arrive by 6 p.m. If you have questions,
please call Gloria Young at 573-673-3070. The Food Bank’s address
is 2101 Vandiver Drive. NEWMAN NIGHT AT LOAVES AND FISHESOn the

and divorced. Jesus tells us both need God's help.
For Parents: God wants marriage to be more than a contract; it's
also a covenant, a sacred promise, but it's not easy. Divorce
happens for complex reasons. Talk to kids about how important
marriage is but also how we can show compassion to those who face
divorce.
