Knights of Columbus Council 9332 Valle De Oro

Back in the day not long ago, we donned our aprons to collect money.

Every autumn in the month of October, the Knights of Columbus Council 9332, conduct a fund raising drive [sometimes referred to as the "Tootsie Roll" drive] to help those with intellectual disabilities and their families. The monies collected and distributed by the Columbian Foundation, are given to places like Noah Homes . These beautiful facilities provide a safe, comfortable living home to the area individuals with intellectual disabilities. We are very honored to help out in this way. Take a look at the video below featuring a resident from Noah Homes, and one who benefits from your donations.

COURAGE AND CONVICTION: THE TRUE STORY OF COLUMBUS
A thorough examination of the life and legacy of the fearless discoverer of America, narrated by actor Chazz Palminteri, this film provides insight into Christopher Columbus' remarkable genius as a sea navigator as well as his deep desire to bring all nations to Christ. Through expert interviews and archival footage, we look at the origins of Columbus Day and the symbolic role that Columbus has for Catholic immigrants, especially Italian Americans. Finally, the film addresses the current indictments against Christopher Columbus with boldness and exposes the motives behind the attacks of revisionist historians. Courage and Conviction shows why Christopher Columbus remains not only a man worthy of admiration, but a noble icon of what it means to be a Catholic and an American.

Practical Catholic Guidelines

Guidelines have been established to assist in determining the practical Catholicity of an applicant or member. These guidelines will assist the grand knight in performing his duties when serving on the council’s admission committee.
These guidelines include:

A practical Catholic accepts the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accordance with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing with the Catholic Church.

A practical Catholic strives to have a greater knowledge of the teaching of Christ and his Church, and to accept, respect and defend the Church’s authority (vested in the Supreme Pontiff, the hierarchy and clergy united with him) to teach, govern and sanctify the faithful.

A practical Catholic gives material and moral support to the Church and her works on all levels, promoting the programs of the parish and diocese and coming to the aid of the missions, the needy and the underprivileged; supports and advances the just causes of minority groups; endeavors to eliminate unjust discrimination, prejudice, etc.; and supports the Church in her defense of marriage and family life.
If questions regarding the practical Catholicity of an applicant or member arise, the pastor of the applicant or member should be consulted before any action i

PRAYER FOR THOSE PERSECUTED IN IRAQ & Syria
O God of all the Nations,
the One God who is and was and always will be, who in your providence willed that your Church be united to the suffering of your Son, look with mercy on your servants in Iraq who are persecuted for their faith in you.
Grant them perseverance and courage to be worthy imitators of Christ.
Bring your wisdom upon leaders of nations to work
for peace among all peoples.
May your Spirit open conversion for those who contradict
your will that we live in harmony.
And in all things may we be united in truth and freedom to seek your will in our lives.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
Our Lady, Queen of Peace,
Pray for us.
