Knights of Columbus hosts clothing drive

Rhonda Costa-Landers - Nevada Appeal
November 12, 2004

Hosting a baby shower isn't generally left up to the men, but the Knights of Columbus in Carson City are doing just that Saturday and Sunday for the second year in a row.

The Knights' baby shower - serves as a clothing drive, for the Community Pregnancy Center in Carson City.

The response to the group's first clothing drive was overwhelming.

"We delivered three truck loads of donations and a large check to the center," said Rick Fambrini, District 4 Deputy.

"As a result, the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus has noted Council 4781 (Carson City) as one of the top 10 winners in the International Service Program Awards Contest for the 2003-2004 fraternal year for this type of activity. I'm not sure how it will play out, but it's a big thing."

"There are like 12,000 chapters (worldwide) and we made the top 10 for our work," said Dan Costella, program coordinator. "That's a big boost for us."

Costella said a pickup truck will be outside St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Community hall Saturday and Sunday for clothing to be donated. They will also collect baby food, diapers and other child-related items, except furniture.

"Someone wanted to donate a couch last year," he said. "But we just couldn't take it. We appreciate the thought, but it's baby items we're looking for and collecting. They don't have to attend Mass either, just drop their items at the pickup truck outside."

Costella said St. Ann's Parish in Dayton will also collect items for the drive.

For information on the Community Pregnancy Center, call 885-1700.

"The Community Pregnancy Center does pregnancy testing and also maintains a clothing room for needy folks," said Fambrini.

"We want everything baby or for baby's mom: maternity wear, formula, Pampers, clothes. And we'll also accept money. Some people couldn't donate clothing so they gave us money.

"The clothing room has items for maternity moms and children ranging from infant to 5 years old. Last year we were also able to deliver swing sets and some furniture that was gratefully accepted."

Dear Men in Christ,

Classes for our Master’s Degree programs begin in January and we're holding open houses over the next week to help the Sacramento community learn more about us. Find out first hand about the University and about our Master of Arts in Education (with a focus on catechetics) and Master of Liberal Arts programs. As Bishop Weigand noted in his recent letter concerning the University, "I encourage the Catholics of the Diocese of Sacramento to avail themselves of this opportunity for intellectual and personal growth that will be offered by the University of Sacramento..."

I'd also to tell you about the courses and faculty for the Spring Semester. Dr. Kenneth Howell, Director of the University of Illinois’ Cardinal Newman Institute of Catholic Thought, will be teaching Foundations of Catholicism. Teaching Foundations of Catechetics is Dr. David B. Warner, a seasoned catechist and former Director of Scott Hahn’s St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. Finally, Dr. Stan Dundon, Professor of Philosophy at CSUS and an expert on ethics and the philosophy of science, will be teaching the Master of Liberal Arts course called Science and Faith.

WORLD EVENTS CAN BE SHAPED BY CHURCH¹S TEACHING ON PEACE AND JUSTICE
Knights of Columbus head says individual effort needed to renew culture and
society

NEW HAVEN, CT < Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson made
the following remarks today at a news conference in Rome, where the
Pontifical Council on Justice and Peace is meeting this week. Anderson is
a consultor to the council.
     ³Seven years ago, the Synod for America delved deeply into a broad
range of social justice concerns in the Western Hemisphere. It fostered new
relationships and new partnerships among Church leaders throughout North
and South America, and a much greater appreciation for the importance of
the Church¹s teaching on matters of social justice in the Americas.
     ³Among the synod¹s recommendations was the request that the Holy See
issue a compendium of the social teachings of the Church. The release of
this document now is especially timely, as the world confronts very serious
concerns regarding peace and social justice in the Mideast, the march
toward European unity and the need to acknowledge and embrace the
continent¹s deep roots in Christianity, and the implications of the outcome
of next week¹s election in the United States.
     ³We gather here in Rome as Pope John Paul II celebrates the 26th
anniversary of his pontificate, and are truly blessed to be able to draw
upon his teaching and his accomplishments during a pontificate that has
done so much to advance the work of the Church in its quest for peace and
justice.
     ³It is also important to bear in mind the responsibility of each
person in the renewal of modern culture and society, and the role in this
effort that His Holiness has assigned to lay Catholic organizations like
ours. The Knights of Columbus enthusiastically embraces the goals of peace
and justice, and the opportunity to serve our Church and all mankind in
this crucial work.²
     The Knights of Columbus is the world¹s largest Catholic family
fraternal service organization with nearly 1.7 million members throughout
North America. In 2003 members reported raising and contributing a record
$130 million and volunteering a record 61 million hours of service. It also
offers life insurance and related products to its members and their
families.
