September Update |
|
Brothers!
Wow! Where did the summer go? The Labor Day weekend is a busy time; please have fun, but be safe!
Council meetings are now on the regular schedule. We will have meals at 7pm, rosary at 7:30pm, and the meeting at 8pm on the first and third Tuesday of each month.
The 3 September meeting is important. Please attend, if you can, as we will be voting on the motion to buy the new church’s altar. This is a $93K expense to be spread over two years, so it is a significant vote. See you there!
Our Knight of the Month for September is Tommy Komara for his unbridled enthusiasm for the Knights and the Family of the Month is the Michael Mellor family for their contributions to the parish. Thank you for what you do for all of us Tommy and the Mellors!
Monday, 2 September is the parish’s Labor Day picnic. Please wear your Knights shirts/hats and make it a point to approach at least three men about joining the Knights while at the picnic!
Please note we will now be seating our Field Agent at the head table for all our council meetings. The Field Agent is an important part of our Order and this should be reflected at our meetings.
Interested in joining an exemplification team? Please contact PGK Fidel Rodriguez if you’d like to joining the Hispanic exemplification team, or see me if you are interested becoming a member of the District’s 2nd degree team.
Helpers are needed to help answer questions and spread awareness of the Paul Stefan Foundation after each Mass during the weekend of 7 and 8 September. Please see Brian Prindle for more info or to volunteer!
First Degree Knights! You should be interested in advancing within our Order and we can make it happen for you! Please see our Worthy Chancellor, Paul Wilkinson, for scheduled 2nd and 3rd degree exemplification dates.
St. Mary of Sorrows-- Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
Do you know of a non-Catholic family member, friend, neighbor, colleague who may be interested in knowing more about the Catholic faith? Do you know someone who was baptized Catholic, but has not received the sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation? Do you know someone who has been coming to Mass for a while, but is not Catholic?
The St Mary of Sorrows RCIA team is waiting to warmly welcome all who may be interested in learning further about Catholicism. We will guide inquirers on their journey to a deeper faith, and, hopefully, full communion in the Catholic Faith at the 2020 Easter Vigil.
Inquiry classes will begin on Sept 11th and will continue on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 - 9:00 pm in the Parish Center Conference Room.
For more information or to register, please contact Father Barkett at 703-978-4141 Ext 103 or email Team Administrator, Ann Hartmann, amhartmann74@gmail.com.
Registration forms are available in the Parish Center lobby. Completed forms may be left with the office staff. An RCIA Team member will promptly contact anyone with an interest in the inquiry program.
Thank you for what you do!

Council 8600 Insurance Agent - Jim Bertine
Father McGivney, established the Knights of Columbus, and with it, a “pass-the-hat” insurance system to protect the Catholic families in his parish. Over time, that system has evolved, and today we stay true to our founding mission through our multi-billion dollars, top-rated insurance program. Members have exclusive access to our insurance program and products, including life insurance, retirement annuities, long-term care insurance, and disability income insurance. The men in our council are no doubt at various stages of life, with varying needs and varying means. Nevertheless, at some point in our lives, surely most of us will look for life insurance protection, retirement products, disability income or long-term care insurance. When you do, why would they look anywhere besides our very own Knights of Columbus? I challenge you to help spread the word of Father McGivney and how one hundred and thirty-five years ago, Father Michael J. McGivney worked to protect Catholic families. I challenge mentors to share this with your new Knights especially if they are Married.
We are honored to have one of the best Field Agents servicing our members and you can find out more information by contacting KofC 8600 Field Agent, Brother James Bertine PGK, FIC, LUTCF, CLTC, at the following: http://www.JimBertine.com, james.bertine@kofc.org ,(703) 845-3402, Fax: (703) 291-8490, 7005 Backlick Court, Suite 100, Springfield, VA 22151
