Brother Knights
I would like to wish you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry
Christmas! Thank you for helping to have a very successful Tootsie Roll Drive.
We collected over $3000 for our charities. I would like to thank Pat Chmura for
leading the corner at Ford rd. & Beech-Daly and everyone else that helped that
weekend.
We have several events this month and your help and participation is needed.
1) The Novena for the Deceased. Starts on November 1st and ends on the 9th
at 6:30pm in the chapel. 2) Euchre Tournament on November 15th, @ 7pm
in the activities room. This is open to anyone who wants to play. You do not
need a partner, just come and bring a friend or two. It cost $15 per person. 3)
On November 23rd we will host our Blood Drive in the activities room, from 8
am to 2pm please help save a life, sign up or drop by, your help and
participation will make each event a success! Thank you.
As with previous years, we will start collecting sweatshirts and gift cards for the
children’s at Holy Cross. We need the collections no later than November 30th
so we can be prepared for the Winter Meeting the first weekend of December.
We need college and professional teams, but let us not forget our Armed
Services. Let’s help a kid to have a gift this Christmas.
Our annual Christmas Social will be on December 30th @ 7pm at St. Linus.
Contact Tom Kramarz [email protected] or call (313)410-2796 if you plan
to attend. As we enter the Christmas season, let all remember to Keep Christ in
Christmas.

Knights of Columbus Insurance
Only Having Insurance “Through Work” Doesn’t Work
Do you know anyone whose life or career has drastically changed during these years of
economic downturn? It’s very likely that someone in your immediate or extended family or
group of friends is facing financial uncertainty. Maybe there’s a possibility that you (or
your spouse) could lose your job or change employers.
Too many people have often relied on group term life insurance as their only safety net.
Often, this insurance is an employee benefit provided at low or no cost. The existence of
this coverage might convince someone that personally-owned life insurance is not
necessary.
But only having “through work” insurance can leave you and your family vulnerable. Most
group life insurance policies are limited in amount, which may be tied to salary or some
other benchmark. These numbers are often capped, and this cap may be dangerously
low when compared to your family’s actual needs. In fact, a detailed needs analysis that
evaluates your specific situation, will likely show that any employer-provided coverage
falls short.
In addition, the amount of group insurance offered is almost always reduced, sometimes
dramatically, when you retire. You could one day find yourself without coverage, and if
your health has changed (which it will as you age), you might also find yourself unable to
secure individual protection. At the very least, it will definitely be more expensive.
While group life insurance can help, it does not replace the need for individually owned
life insurance. I’ll be happy to meet with you and provide a no-cost needs analysis, so
you’ll know exactly where you stand.

Prayer to St. Michael the
Archangel
A Prayer for Our Military
Merciful Lord, We humbly pray for Your
Almighty protection for all those in
service to our county. Help and
strengthen them all in the righteous
struggle for the preservation of liberty
and justice for all mankind. Make them
ever mindful of their duty to our country
and fill them with courage and loyalty.
Amen
Saint Michael the Archangel
defend us in battle. Be our
protection against the wickedness
and snares of the devil. May God
rebuke him, we humbly pray; and
do thou, O prince of the Heavenly
Host – by the Divine Power of God
– cast into hell, Satan and all the
evil spirits, who roam throughout
the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
