Grand Knight's Report June 2016- WGK Pat Esquibel

Worthy Brother Knights:
 
Because the family is the subject of the New Evangelization, we want to share our faith with other families. Every Catholic is called to holiness, and every Catholic is called to reflect this holiness in his or her state of life, whether as a husband or wife, a father or mother, or neighbor, parishioner or citizen. It is through living our lives as Catholic families, devoted in faith, to each other and to helping those in need, that we best evangelize in a world that often seems reluctant to hear this good news. (Building the Domestic Church - The Family Fully Alive)
        Thank You Brothers - As we come to the conclusion of this Columbian Year I extend my Heartfelt Thanks to all Brothers and your Families for your continued and dedicated support. Without you we would not have had the success we enjoyed with our many events throughout this past year. I truly appreciate your work ethic, and dedication to the Knights of Columbus Valle De Oro Council 9332. Our Council's continued success is because of you. Thank You Brothers!         
Happy Father's Day
- From Supreme Chaplin Archbishop William E. Lori: 
"As we celebrate Father's Day, let us celebrate the role of our dads in building the domestic Church, in working hand in hand with their wives to make their homes places of prayer, learning, virtue and service, and in handing on the faith to the next generation."

Year of Mercy-          
          Have you passed through the Door of Mercy? 
"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." (Matthew 5:7) 
     The A B C's of Mercy: 1) Ask for Mercy; 2) Be Merciful;
 3) Completely trust Jesus for Mercy. 
         Bishop McElroy has designated the following as Pilgrimage Churches in the San Diego Diocese. You can pass through a Holy Door at: Mission San Diego De Acala; St Joseph Cathedral; St Jude Shrine of the West; 
  St Thomas More; Mission San Luis Rey. 
There is less than 6 months remaining!
      As always, please remember to wear your Knights of Columbus "name plate" to mass. Do you know a Catholic Gentleman that is 18 years or older? Enrich his life and give him a membership in the Knights. Every Knight is a recruiter. Let's all continue to work together in the spirit of Fr. Michael J. McGivney with Charity, Unity, and Fraternity!
     If you have not been to a meeting in a while, plan on attending this Thursday and reacquaint yourself with your brothers, and what is currently being planned in your council. I hope to see you this week.
Vivat Jesus!
