Report
By John Klinkenberg
Brothers,
What a great month October was. Our commitment to Pro Life was in full gear with the 40
days for Life, The Life chain and assorted other
events. Our Rosary procession was well attended
and our council gained new members in multiple
degrees. Our wives appreciation was an elegant
event, great fellowship, awe inspiring sunset
over the city and of course beautiful wives to
thank for their love and support.
November will be another busy month as
well. Our memorial Mass on November 7th will
be a reverent and respectful Mass. I encourage
all of our members to come and share in this
beautiful Mass. I ask that you read the annual
calendar and plan on attending some events. We
will have a fun Council dance with instructors
for all of us, normal scheduled meetings and of
course our Light the Night for Christmas on November 29th at 2pm. Let’s not forget we need
your help with our “Blue” golf tournament in
December as well. This is a fun outing, focused
on community building and steaks! Golf at Blue
Cypress and Steak dinner at the hall. Contact
Jim Bonnie or myself for information.
I would like to remind us all with the upcoming holidays we are to be the examples of keeping Christ in Christmas. This is not only a
Knights program but a message that we all need
to foster in our families and with our friends. All
too often we get busy with shopping and holiday
parties that we tend to forget the reason for the
season. Christ’s birth and life so we have an
opportunity to gain eternal Salvation.
So, Keep Christ in Christmas!

By Rev. Father James R. Boddie, Jr.
Faithful to the Call of the Lord.
The Knights of Columbus respond to
the call of being faithful to the Gospel of
Life.
They stand in defense and protection of the unborn,
families, and the vulnerable in our community. The Knights
of Columbus respond to the call of praying for, and standing
for the protection of the sacredness of the Sacrament of Marriage. One Man, one Woman. The Knights of Columbus respond to the call of praying for and supporting our young
men in formation in preparing for the Priesthood. The
Knights are called to support young people discerning a call
to the religious life and in dedicating their lives to service of
the Catholic Church.
The Knights of Columbus always have been and always
will be that faithful servant who not only listens to the call of
the Lord, but who put their faith into action.
In our times, when the church calls us even more
strongly, to stand for the moral good and the Gospel of the
Good News, the Knights show us an example. The example
is that we are all called through our baptism to put on Christ
and have an impact in the world. We should all be faithful to
the call of the Lord in our lives.
Let us constantly pray for, encourage, and affirm our
Knights of Columbus in the way they serve the Diocese of
St. Augustine and our parishes.
May God Bless you and all those whom you Love.
Rev. Father James R. Boddie
Pastor, Christ the King Catholic Church

Blessings to you and your families. Thanksgiving is a special time to give thanks for all that God has
done for us and to us!
The Memorial Mass for the deceased Knights from
Council #4727 will be Friday, November 7th at 6:30 pm.
This is an important function for our Council so I hope that
we have a good turnout to support the widows and families
of our late Knights.
Our K-Cee Christmas party will be Saturday, December

live entertainment and door prizes & raffles. The money

our Lord. We will be putting up our indoor and outdoor decorations so we need lots of help. We will be

Deacons Report
By Deacon Stan Grenn
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Remember the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz? He
was afraid of everything - even his own shadow. We all
have a little of that cowardly lion in us. All of us live in
fear of one thing or another at some time in our life. But
Jesus Christ has good news for us. In the Gospel of
Mathew he tells us: "Are not two sparrows sold for a
penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside
your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head
are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more
than many sparrows."
Jesus Christ doesn't want us to live our lives in fear.
He wants us to enjoy life. In fact he tells us in the Gospel
of John: “I have come that you may have life, and have it
more abundantly." The best defense against fear is faith. If
we have a strong faith, then we can face any fear head on.
God bless, Deacon Stan
Annual Memorial Mass
Please come out on November 7th at 6:30pm to help
us remember our dear departed Brothers who have left
this world to be with our Savior. So many of you who
attended last year complimented our team on the
changes that have been made to this Memorial and we
will continue with the same format this year. Mass will
begin at 6:30pm followed by the Memorial and lighting
of candles. Dinner will be served after the memorial. We ask you to please RSVP to John Klinkenberg
or Ralph Mosley so that we know how much food to
buy. Also we PLEASE ask anyone who is able to walk
without assistance to please park next door at Bivins
Tire so that we may provide parking at the hall for
those that need assistance. If you can carpool as well,
that would be much appreciated.
Council Dance and Instructions
You don’t want to miss this evening of fun on Saturday November 22nd from 7pm until 10pm! A Social Affair
Dance Studio will be teaching us how to dance. Don’t
worry – you do not need a partner. This evening promises
to be a fun evening with your friends, so please join
us. You will have a great time and the best part is that you
do not have to know how to dance – the instructors will
make it fun and EASY to learn! Even if you already know
how to dance, come out and show the rest of us how it is
done! Space is limited to the first 50 people who sign
up. RSVP to Maryellen Bell at 655-8250. The cost is $5
per person for 4727 Knights and 4727 KCees. All others
are $8 per person. Make checks payable to the Knights of
Columbus and mail them to the council hall at 6030 Arlington Expressway, 32211. Light hors d’oeuvres and soft
drinks will be served. 18 and older please. Wear comfortable shoes.

New Book of the Sick and In Distress
Brothers, we have a new book of the Sick and in Distress at
the Hall. You will find it next to the statue of Mary accented
by candles. Inside you will find monthly pages upon which
to print the names of your special intentions. Each month
we will start a new page so be sure to carry forward anyone
who is still in need of prayers. If you are unable to attend a
meeting or function at the hall simply contact an officer or
brother Knight to place your intention in the book. There are
instructions within the book if you would like a visit from
our Knights of the Brotherly Care. Knightly News

Pro-LIFE Message for November
October's Respect Life Sunday was a success with approximately 150 parishioners, Knights, priests and deacons from Christ the
King and Resurrection attending the hour and a half event. Thanks to all who attended. The Fall 40 days for Life Campaign continues through to November 2nd but all are welcome to continue to stand at "A Woman's Choice" or one of the other Abortion Facilities
that proliferate Jacksonville. For additional information please see your church bulletin or call:

This month I wanted to address an equally important pro-Life topic - End of Life Determinations. In Florida we have a
"Designation of a Health Surrogate" document, which allows you to name someone you trust (be it family member or close friend) to
make health care decisions for you in case you become temporarily or permanently unable to make such decisions for yourself. The
surrogate is essentially standing in for you when it comes to making health care decisions. The document does not give the surrogate
authority to approve the direct and intentional ending of your life nor can they direct that you be denied food or fluids for the purpose of causing your death by starvation or dehydration. Should you give your surrogate other directions or express other special
provisions? This can be legally added in writing, but current thinking generally advises against such additions. It is not possible to
predict all circumstances or possible interventions that may need to be faced in the future. Adding specific written directions may
severely limit the discretion and flexibility that your surrogate needs and may restrict your surrogate's authority in a way you did not
intend. The recommended course is to discuss any additional directions, concerns, and/or provisions in detail with your trusted surrogate when you give them a signed "Designation" and at any time after that. Under Florida Law your spouse needs to be notified if
you appoint a "Designee" other than he/she; and, the "Designation" should be signed by you in the presence of two qualified witnesses who must then sign the witness statement part of the instrument. Additional information and forms can be obtained from the
Patients Rights Council web site at ... http://www.patientsrightscouncil.org
This topic impacts upon both our younger and more mature council members. Please give it your attention and consideration.
George Dewey, Council Pro-Life Committee
