All the winners for the 2012 Knights of Columbus have completed the paperwork for their prize. The State Officers want to thank all the Councils [Knights] that helped make the 2012 Charity Raffle a successful event. By now, most Councils have received their checks for their local charity [charities].
If you attended the banquet at the 4th Degree Exemplification, you saw Worthy State Deputy Pat Schuller give a $1,500 check to St Vincent de Paul from the State Council. The state portion of the charity raffle sales made that donation possible. Everyone that bought or sold raffle tickets helped make that feasible. This is just one example of the Charity Raffle dollars at work at the state level.

The Chief Judge John M. Roll Chapter presented a $1000 donation to Reachout
Pregnancy Center in Tucson. St. Pius X Co. 10762 is leading an Ultrasound
Initiative to help Reachout purchase a new ultrasound machine. The new
machine can detect movement in the womb between 3 and 4 weeks of gestation
allowing the expectant mother to see the life within her much sooner than
before. On hand to receive the check from Chapter President Mario Vassallo
was Lori Giovannini of Reachout. Her husband is a Fourth Degree Knight and
was ordained a Deacon on June 16 in Tucson. See
http://www.reachoutforlife.org/ for more information about Reachout and the
wonderful work they do for Pro-Life in Tucson.

Early last fall one of the priests at Holy Cross Parish in Mesa made a special request of Council 7904. Father Jun Baula, who comes from one of the poorest parishes in the Philippine Islands, asked if the Knights of Columbus would be willing to organize a collection of shoes and bookbags to send to the children in the Philippines aged 6-14 years. Council 7904 decided to hold the collection during the four week-ends in November and to enlist the aid of Holy Cross parishioners at all the Saturday and Sunday masses. Signs were designed, announcements were made in the church bulletin, and large boxes were provided for donations at all church entrances. The shoe/bookbag drive was a huge success! Eleven large boxes containing 614 pairs of shoes and 315 bookbags were sent to the Diocese of Isabella. The distribution of all the donated goods took place before the June start of the new school year in the Philippine Islands.

The Round Table of Mater Misericordiae Mission in Phoenix was formed this year are part of Padre Serra Council number 7114 of Glendale. Presently we have 26 members including two priests. Near half of the members are new to KofC this year. We are looking forward to becoming a council before the end of this year. The photos show members of the Knights serving as canopy bearers for the Corpus Christi procession and our welcoming reception for our assistant priest, Fr. Walker, F.S.S.P. who will soon be our chaplain. Mater Misericordiae is the Latin Mass parish (1962 rite) of Phoenix and is staffed by priests from the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. We appreciate all of the support we are receiving from Council 7114, our District Deputy, Brother Leonard Rheaume, and a host of state officers old and new.
