February, 2022 Knight Notes Page 1 www.kofc3774.org HOME COUNCIL OF FORMER SUPREME DIRECTOR JULIAN JOSEPH PUBLISHED BY FATHER SAYLOR COUNCIL # 3774, ALLEN PARK, MICHIGAN FEBRUARY 2022 Fr Saylor 68th Anniversary Party February 26th For the Father Saylor Council, the pinnacle of the year is the Annual Anniversary Dinner and Dance. The party honors an outstanding leader of the Council, very often an Immediate Past Grand Knight. There have been 35 PGK in the last 68 years. Going back to our founding, they include such deceased Past Grand Knights as Leo Paluch, Julian Joseph, Barney Haiduc, Art Champagne, Jack McAdoo, Sig Obrycki, Andy Bertilino, Ed Klenczar and Marcos Dias. To honor and keep all of them in our memories, we include a list of all of our PGK on page two of this monthly Knight Notes. Our most Recent PGK, Joe Martinez will be honored on Saturday Feb. 26th. Some of our PGK helped in the founding of our Council. Others stewarded us through our growth as we became one of the top Councils in Michigan. But none of these distinguished gentlemen ever faced a crisis as severe as the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic caused a significant number of stand-alone Councils to close their halls and become Parish Councils. But Fr. Saylor Council sailed through, maintaining its programs and even expanding its activities despite isolation, lockdowns and social distancing. Joe and the loyal officers and the committee chairs have made our Council one of the few Councils in Michigan to emerge from the pandemic stronger than before. Come celebrate our 68tth Anniversary on Sat. Feb 26th. Tickets are $25 and are available in the Lounge. See you on the 26th! SUPER BOWL LVI PARTY FEBRUARY 13, 2022 The Big Game is not far off and Fr. Saylor will once again be hosting its own Super Bowl LVI Party! Bring a dish to pass as we celebrate this coming year’s Super Bowl starting at 6 pm on Sunday, February 13th in our Council Lounge. There will be food to share and a 50/50 raffle for one lucky person to win, as well as drink specials on domestic buckets of beer during the game only. So, don’t miss a fun night join us for football, food and crazy commercials as we wrap up this year’s NFL season with the biggest sporting event of the year, Super Bowl LVI. Sincerely, Joe Martinez (Entertainment and Activity Director)

February, 2022 Knight Notes Page 3 Grand Knight Comments Brother Knights Gooday All, I want to first and foremost thank everyone involved with the much needed facelift of our very own Father Saylor room. I encourage everyone to go down to take a look. It certainly adds to all that we offer here at the Council in a very positive way. We have so much going on at the Council in February like the Chili Cook off, Super Bowl, State Bowling Tournament, Trivia Night, The Exemplification ( the old Major Degree), the Anniversary Party and finally the Family Soup Supper. I hope to see everyone through the month at least once or twice. I would like everyone with a little time to spare to think about joining the Rosary Chain. I know many people are not comfortable at a funeral home but I have seen firsthand what a show of Brotherhood means to a Family during their time of sorrow. Our membership team has already gotten us off to a good start for the Fraternal Year with over 10 new members. Please remember to introduce yourself to the new members. As always feel free to contact me at 734-308-2386 or GK3774@mikofc.org Sincerely, Grand Knight Donald Siegel ...\Michelle and ... Dear Brother Knights, but defer always to God’s holy Will. When we bring the problem to Jesus, we trust that the Lord will act. When I begin this month’s article with an we bring the problem to Mary, we trust that She will bring update on my new residence. I was it to Jesus, and Jesus will provide a solution. living at the St. James rectory (Our Mother of Perpetual Help Parish) in Second, Our Lady is a terrific Intercessor for us in Our Ferndale but as of January 4, 2022, I prayers. We are reminded by the Catechism of the Catholic now reside at St. Augustine Parish, Church, (CCC) 969 that Mary continues to make heavenly 68035 S. Main Street, Richmond MI intercession for us, for our needs, and that She is invoked 48062. in the Church under the titles Advocate, Helper, Fr. Ray Arwady Benefactress, and Mediatrix. Reflection from the Gospel of John 2:1-11 for the Second Sunday in Third, we make our prayer to Jesus, or to the Father, or to Ordinary Time, the Wedding Feast at Cana in Galilee. In the Holy Spirit, or to Mary in a spirit of docility and my years of ministry, I have heard some of the lay-faithful humility, with a hopeful expectation that God may ask say that it would be nice if the Priest preached a homily something of us, or give us direction or instruction. Here once in a while offering suggestions on how to pray. So, we can be reminded to wait in silence for a few minutes, the following is my attempt at a response to this idea. 5, 10 or 15 minutes, for a response from God. The situation at the wedding (no wine; wine ran out) gives After I present my prayer, I waited in the chapel and what us an opportunity to see that it is Our Lady who brings the did God say to me? Did God or Our Lady ask me to do problem to Jesus, and Mary does so without suggesting something? how to resolve the matter but only places it upon her Son Or did Jesus respond to me in a confusing manner like He trusting that He will do something. Mary believes that did to His own Mother: “My hour has not yet come.” That Jesus not only can but will do something to resolve the would be a time when again, the trust associated with our crisis. Mary acts as a kind of Intercessor for this wedding faith in Jesus is necessary to be exercised. And we might couple, though the couple may or may not have any idea respond back to the Lord, “What does this mean Jesus?” what is happening. Mary brings her request to Jesus in or to the Holy Spirit, “what is the significance of this humility and docility, with a readiness to accept instruction. memory or that which I am hearing?” Then we have the The response from Jesus to Mary (“Woman, how does your holy dialogue taking place and my relationship with God concern affect me?’) could indicate that Jesus does not developing or growing. Sometimes God will answer, “no” really want to get involved. And yet the Lord chooses to to our prayers, which is a possible answer. Often when that remedy the situation with a miracle. happens, it is because God wants us a) to return again to prayer, b) permit our desire or fervor to increase, c) gain This is an example for us on how to pray, how to bring our greater faith, and d) continue the walk with Jesus that leads problems to Mary, and even to Jesus. First, following to salvation. There could be more reasons that these.

The number drawn was 820 – Henry Walaski; he was not in Robert attendance so the $125 balance will carry over and grow for February’s meeting. Hope to see you there.
February, 2022 Knight Notes Page 5 Continued from page 3 Often, we ask in prayer something of God that we think is big, but God wants to give us something even bigger—usually the most valuable thing we can receive from God—our salvation. It is accurate to say that a relationship with God is one way to get to Heaven. We must pray if we expect to develop a relationship with God and gain Heaven. Mary will also help in this regard and I strongly suggest daily recitation of the Holy Rosary. If I am Catholic, I need to know how to pray the Rosary. If I feel that praying an entire Rosary each day is overwhelming, then I can pray one decade per day to start, and work up to one whole Rosary per day. Praying the Rosary and our devotion to Our Lady is truly part of our Catholic identity. Praying the Rosary will also help develop our relationship with Mary, Our True Mother. Finally, as we bring our problems or crises to Jesus and to Mary in prayer, also remember to pray for the grace of acceptance of God’s Holy Will, or acceptance of the outcome. It is usually the case that we receive something unexpected in answer to our prayers, but not quite precisely what we were asking for. As a side note, I have always liked the last recorded words of Mary in the Gospel: ‘Do whatever He tells you.’ After those words, Mary is silent. Peace, Blessings, Rev. Fr. Raymond E. Arwady Rosary Chain Update What is the Rosary Chain? It consists of a group of Brother Knights who pray the Holy Rosary for a deceased member in good standing, or his immediate family, in their time of need. We all know how busy life can be with work and family commitments. However, if our Council is to keep this very special member service intact, we need more Brother Knights to join and participate WEDNESDAY, with us. A Rosary service only involves about 30 minutes of your time, and most of them occur in FEBRUARY 23, 2022 our local community. When a member enters Eternal Life, and his family requests a service, the SOUP– SALAD & CHILI Rosary Chain goes into action. We call or e-mail you the details about the time and the location of the Funeral Home.. Please In Michigan, February is usually the messiest month consider joining this elite team. Also you can come of the year – Snow, Ice, Freezing Rain or Sleet. Our only when time allows you to. The spiritual response is our Family Dinner - Soup, Salad and rewards are immense.

February, 2022 Knight Notes Page 7 Fr Saylor Room Gets a "Fresh Look" The Building Association Officers led by Tim Danilowicz, Joe Powers and Tom Stevens got to work after the BA decided to improve the appearance of our basement hall. A crew was put together to paint the walls, install new base moldings and strip and wax the floor. The result is a brand new looking hall which is rented out to Members for various events throughout the year. The BA had lots of help in finishing a project that took about two weeks to complete. Crew members included: Paul & Joe Carnarvon, Dan Hurd, Joe Lalli, Joe Martinez and Jose Villareal. Thanks to everyone for a job well done. If you are interested in reserving the hall for any upcoming events, The lower Lounge has a capacity of about 100, please call the Member Lounge at 313-386-1850.

February, 2022 Knight Notes Page 8 Wanted – Needed We are in need of some committed Brother Knights to work as a team to produce the Council Newsletter. For the past almost Twelve years a group of Brother Knights have produced the Knight Notes for the Council and have not only saved the Council about $6,000 a year but have made a commitment to inform the Council members of Council events. We are in need of an editor, copy proof readers, layout and script writers. In addition to serving almost 800 members, the Knight Notes is e-mailed to about 200 members saving the Council the cost of printing and postage and is also posted on our web site. The Grand Knight and present staff will work with anyone interested in this very important project. Contact our Grand Knight Don Siegel for more information 313-299-9388 The Knight Notes Committee Planning Meeting Just a reminder, that our Annual Planning Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, March 16th at 7PM in our Council Lounge.

February, 2022 Knight Notes Page 9 Steaks Cookouts Peace, joy and love through HIM who Return March strengthens us. Thank you for your email. 30th We'll respond as soon as we're able. We humbly ask for your prayers, that our January was a bit too transition from Puerto Rico to Costa Rica is cold to think about grilling outside so our smooth and that we can feel the Lord's Chef Tony whipped up presence each step of the way. some tasty chicken in red sauce and delicious pasta. And our famous salad bowl was back accompanied by Love, Liberati’s garlic bread. The last week in February usually The Carmody Family features some of the coldest weather of the winter so our Grand Knight coordinated a Chili and Soup dinner. With the weather beginning to warm and spring right around -- the corner, the carnivores are coming out of their caves and nothing but a thick, juicy, grilled strip steak is going to satisfy them. Think about that baked potato smothered in sour cream. Is the wife hankering for the endless salad bowl? You know that by March 30th, Spring will have officially been here for over a week and the crocus may even be blooming out in front of the Lounge. So the last Wednesday of the month is the best time to grab a beer and head out to the back of the Council to throw a steak or two on the grill. We will be having a good time from 5 to 8 pm. Due to the sky-rocketing prices of beef, this year we are forced to raise the price of the Steak Cookout from $12 to $15. But you can still shake off the winter blues with a mouth-watering, sizzling steak. See you there! Steak Cookout Committee, Tony Lalli Chair Pre-Super bowl Weekend– Chili Competition Mark your calendar: The Father Saylor Annual Chili Cook-off is scheduled across the street in the Park for Saturday, February 12th at 2:00 PM, Super Bowl Weekend, Enter your chili and compete to become our chili master!!
