Attention Brothers – Council Going “Green”
The Council would like all brothers who have a computer and internet
access to get their newsletters electronically. Brothers who do not have a
computer will still be able to get a hard copy of the newsletter mailed to
them.
The Council’s website (www.kofc6100.org) has a link that contains the
monthly newsletter from July 2009 to the latest newsletter in pdf format.
The newest newsletter will be posted on the website by the first weekend of
the month. Last month 206 newsletters were mailed, 6 above the minimum
needed for bulk mailing rates. Thus far one hundred three brothers have
informed me that they will get their newsletter from our website or by mail.
That leaves approximately two hundred members who haven't informed me
how they want to receive the newsletter. Please send your preference to:
Gregg Buckalew, P.O. Box 157, Tranquility, NJ 07879; e-mail address:
[email protected]; or telephone (908-852-9184).

Grand Knight’s Report
Brothers,
Saturday Evening Mass
In today’s society, a new day begins at midnight. But this was not the custom in ages
past, nor is it the custom in all cultures today.
In earlier times, people depended on daylight. Without daylight, they had to use their
lamps, and most people had a limited supply of fuel. So, when daylight was over, the day
was over. Darkness brought the “night” of the new day. That is why the Sabbath began
on Friday evening (and ended on Saturday evening).
Christianity, with its Jewish roots, followed that custom. The new day began at sunset.
Thus on major feasts, when the new day began at sunset, Christians celebrated prayers of
the feast. Note that the Mass, however, wasn’t celebrated until the morning.
After Vatican II, priests were allowed to celebrate the Mass of the Sunday on Saturday
evening, as well as the Mass of the feast on the preceeding evening.
P.S. – We could always use a few more brothers at bingo.
Vivat Jesus,
John Mania, Grand Knight

Chaplain’s Corner
My Dear Brother Knights,
Recharge This Summer
For the first time in many years of ministry, I feel out of energy. The varied nature of
my work demands that I keep several ministerial balls in the air simultaneously. Some
days that makes life very interesting. However, at the moment it feels my life is a bit out
of control. So many parishioners are currently diagnosed with cancer that it seems as if
I’m in the midst of an epidemic. I’m thinking about faith formation for the coming year,
and I wonder what in the world we can read together to inspire our yearly planning
process. It occurs to me that I might have to recruit more school of religion teachers
come fall. The very thought fills me with dread, and I wonder: Can I do this another
year? I feel spiritually empty and wonder what kind of a spiritual director that makes me.
I am, quite simply, overwhelmed.
3
So thank God for summer. I know I need it, especially this year. I need the slower
pace and the time it allows me to recharge. I wonder if any of you feel the same. What
do we do when we recognize the need to stand back, to gain perspective, and to be fed
ourselves? Here are a few suggestions. Please feel free to e-mail me with your own. Be
intentional about seeking mental diversion. Read novels “The Good Dog” is a recent
favorite, see movies “The Descendants” and “The Way” are two on my list, visit an art
museum, go to a concert, head for the baseball park, play cards or work puzzles.
Embrace activity of some kind. The activity can involve fine motor skills or free
motion, but in some way allow the body to take the lead. Draw, embroider, go dancing,
visit a local nature preserve or park, fly a kite, refinish furniture, garden, do yoga, walk
more, build something or clean out closets.
Get out of town. Ministry is a way of life, and as such, it often involves a 24/7
commitment. I have heard more than one among us say that the best, and sometimes
only, way to recharge is to leave town. That can mean a day trip to a neighboring county,
a day or two away or longer time for a real vacation. However we do it, it is important to
get away… really get away.
Pay attention to some spiritual practice that has lost its place of honor. Whatever it is
that has fallen in favor from the daily calendar — be it silent prayer, journaling,
participating in adoration, attending daily Mass, praying while walking, spending time in
scripture meditation — think about why that practice has diminished and if it might be
possible to reclaim it or try something new.
If attending a continuing education conference or retreat is out of the question, then
choose one book in the field to read. As summer unfolds, consider the pile of books in
the office or by the bed that we intend to read someday. Or read the book reviews in
Catholic periodicals to find a new source. Sometimes one good read is enough to renew
the mind and just think differently about things. Ask other folks in ministry what they
are reading. James Martin’s “Lives of the Saints” and Richard McBrien’s “The Church”
have been recommended recently. Thelma Hall’s “Too Deep for Words” and Elizabeth
Johnson’s “Quest for the Living God” are two on my list. Perhaps most of all, it is
important to open the heart to the surprise of God’s unpredictable grace in the people and
events of summer’s days. For when the pace slows, we are more apt to find that the
promised Spirit is indeed ever near, and to trust that it is God’s work, not our own, that
will be done.
As June begins, I am still on empty. But I look forward to summer’s gift of time and
change of pace. In God’s time, restoration and renewal will come. And so will fall. In
the days to come, I pray for energy and desire to walk by faith when the end is not clear,
and to believe that the Spirit will once more find a way to use the tiny mustard seed of
my faith to do its part in building the kingdom.
Yours in Christ, your chaplain

Invitation to Pray With Fellow Brothers and Their Families
Brothers - All are invited to pray Evening Prayer in the Daily Chapel at 7:00
p.m. each Sunday. This time of prayer and meditation is only for a halfhour. Evening Prayer is part of the Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the
Divine Office. In the Liturgy of the Hours, The Church fulfills Jesus’
command to “pray always” (Luke 18:1; see also 1 Thessalonians 5:17).
7
Through this prayer, the people of God sanctify the day by continual praise
of God and prayers of intercession for the needs of the world.
Insurance Message
Insurance Check-up for 2012
An insurance check-up can be as important as an annual physical. Unlike many other
products, you don’t just need money to obtain life insurance, long-term care or disability
income insurance. You also need good health, and no one knows when your health could
change.
Did you take time out of your schedule last year to meet with us? If you did, thank
you for seeing us and helping secure your financial future. I will be in touch with you to
schedule your annual review to verify that everything is heading in the right direction.
We’ll make sure that if your goals and budget have changed, your plan still works for
you.
If you didn’t have a meeting with us last year, I hope you will answer my invitation
this year. It’s a wise idea to have an expert look at your finances. Schedule some time to
visit with me, your professional Knights of Columbus insurance agent, and I’ll provide an
insurance check-up that will quickly identify any gaps in your family’s life insurance
program.
Did I mention my check-up is free of charge? When was the last time you received
something for free that could be providing value to you and your family for generations?
And I’ll come to your house when it fits your schedule. Call me today at (973-551-0763)
or e-mail: [email protected] for an appointment. Call me – let’s talk. I want to
hear from you.
Joseph B. Barrett, Jr. PGK, Field Agent
Council Magazine Fundraiser
Brothers,
By now most of you have heard about the new Magazine Fundraiser that Council 6100 is
running in conjunction with St. Jude Parish. In these difficult economic times we have looked
at many ways to minimize the impact on our community as we seek ways to raise funds. We
think the Magazine Fundraiser is a very positive way to move forward quickly without asking
anyone to spend one additional penny over what you may be currently spending.
The plan makes it is easy to participate. If you, your family or friends are already buying
any magazines, by just renewing them through our program, 40% of the total cost will be
returned to the Council.
8
All of this can be done on the internet without any paperwork. Just
enter
www.qsp.com/store/index.aspx and you will enter the QSP Magazine Store that contains
over 700 of today’s most popular magazines at prices that are most often lower than the
publishers’ offers. You can also enter through our website: www.kofc6100.org and clicking
on the Magazine Program listed on our Home Page.
Also, you do not have to wait for your current subscriptions to expire. Just simply mark
the order as a renewal and copy your name exactly as it appears on your current issues and
your subscriptions will be automatically extended. Of course, you can purchase new
subscriptions too!
Remember 40% of your total cost will be returned to the Council.
The success of this program relies on offering this opportunity to as many
people as possible. Why not ask your family and friends to help, or consider asking
your doctor or dentist who normally have tons of magazines. Tell them it will not
cost them any additional money to be part of this worthy effort. Brother who do not
have the opportunity to help with other fundraisers can easily help by simply
forwarding this email to their friends.
This program is ongoing all year and you can renew your subscriptions at any time. Also,
we will be sending email reminders periodically, so be on the lookout for them!
Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, you can contact the
program chairman, Ernie DiCicco, or myself at [email protected] or [email protected]

Pray for the Departed – Please remember in your prayers:
For all the victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon, including Mark Petrocelli (nephew of brother Gerard
Petrocelli), the passengers and crews aboard AA Flights 11 and 77 and UA Flights 93
and 175 and all the gallant rescue workers of the NYFD, NYPD and PA personnel who
gave their lives trying to save others.
For the valiant members of our military and our coalition military who have lost their
lives fighting against the Iraqi Regime and terrorism throughout the world. And for
all the innocent lives lost due to war, terror, natural disasters and famine around the
world.

Other Council Activities
Bingo – Phil Graziano is the head of the Bingo Committee. The Council is still in
dire need of a few ‘Good Knights’ to adequately staff our bingo teams. I hope the
Council will help fill the voids now present on all bingo teams. If a few ‘Good
Knights’ with nothing to do one Friday evening per month would volunteer their
time between 6:30 PM and 11:30 PM (only five+ hours per month), we would be
able to fully staff our four bingo teams. If you can not volunteer five hours per
month, perhaps you could volunteer a few hours of your time per month. If you
can volunteer in any way please call Phil at (908)979-3375 or e-mail:

N’s but we will need to have a few brothers to step up and help Tom to run these

work schedule for the day and just getting the job done. If you can help in any
way please let Tom know, (973-426-9394).
