General
Agent Donald M. Krolak is retiring effective 1 January
2012
Thank
you and Best of Luck to Brother Don Krolak
Brother
Knights,
Brother Don Krolak who has been the General Agent for the
Reno Dioceses for many years is retiring effective 1
January 2012. Don has been a strong supporter of Nevada I
appreciate the support and advice he has provided me over
the years. He will be missed but he is leaving his agency
in good hands with Todd Cabral.
Protecting family financial security has been part of the
Knights of Columbus mission since we were founded in
1882. Don has been instrumental in carrying forward
Father McGiveny’s vision as a General Agent, the
security and welfare of his brother Knights was always
Don’s main focus. Don has made a remarkable
contribution and has touched the lives of so many Brother
Knights and their families in immeasurable ways. He was
and will always, I’m sure, remain sensitive to the
needs of his brothers and their families. I appreciate
that quality as well as his loyalty to Nevada and the
order.
I ask my brother knights in Nevada to join me in wishing
Don and Mary the best in their retirement.
Fraternally,
David M. Ryan
State Deputy

Todd Cabral
appointed General Agent effective 1 January 2012
Brother
Knights,
 I proud to announce that Brother
Todd Cabral has accepted the position of General Agent
replacing Brother Don Krolak effective 1 January 2012.
Todd will have the Reno Dioceses and part of California.
I encourage all our Brother Knights in Nevada to get
behind Todd and provide him our support. This is a big
step forward for Nevada and we need to work towards
increasing the membership in Nevada for our future and
the betterment of the order.
Some have asked why we don’t have a general agent
for just Nevada. The answer is simple our membership in
Nevada is not large enough to support a general agent.
For this to even be considered we need a minimum of 7500
active brother knights in Nevada. We are presently at
5369. So we need about a 50% increase in membership. This
is an attainable goal considering less than 2 of every
100 eligible Catholic men in Nevada are Knights.
Let’s work towards this goal.
I ask for your support and prayers for Todd as he takes
on this new and challenging position.
Fraternally,
David M. Ryan
State Deputy

In
the Dominican tradition, I want Catholics to
study their Catholic religion. This course (other
courses will follow) is designed for
Catholics and non-Catholics who want to know more
about the Catholic religion and cannot attend
enrichment classes. You study from the comfort of
your house. There is no rush in studying these
lessons - take your time. Read and reflect what
you are studying, thus you will grow in your
understanding of the Catholic beliefs. |
Love and Peace,

First
Saturday Mass
Diocese of Las
Vegas
At Fatima Our Lady made the
following personal promises to those who, on
five consecutive First Saturdays, will confess their
sins, receive Holy Communion, say the Rosary and
spend fifteen minutes with Her in meditation upon the
mysteries of the Rosary, in reparation for the
offenses committed against Her Immaculate Heart:
"I will assist (be present) at the hour of your
death with all the grace necessary for
salvation..."
First Saturday Mass
First Saturday Mass is held monthly at St.
Bridget's Church,
9:00 AM, 220 N. 14th St., Las Vegas, NV 89101-4312.

Living
Rosary services
Fallon, & Reno
Council
4828 in Fallon
sponsors Living Rosary Prayer Services on the 1st
Saturdays of each month at 9:00 a.m. and on the 3rd
Wednesdays of each month, typically at 7:00 p.m., just
before their regular business meeting. Everyone is
invited.
If
you live closer to Reno, or are going to be in
the Reno area, then please plan
to attend the Living Rosary services that are
typically held over there at the same time (across
from the abortion center near Meadowood Mall.)
It doesn't matter where you attend these services, the
most important thing is that we get as many people as
possible to join in prayer for an end to abortion and for
the protection of life at all stages, so please help
spread the word about both the Reno and Fallon services
to all of our fellow Br. Knights and to our fellow
parishioners.
