Knights of Columbus: General Meeting
The Knights of Columbus invite all members to attend their regular monthly
meeting on Thursday, October 16th at 8:00 p.m. The purpose of this meeting
is to determine by vote whether or not the Knights of Columbus will move
from their present "home" to our parish hall. During the past
year the parish pastoral council in conjunction with the Knights of
Columbus have discussed the possibility of the Knights moving to our
parish hall. The Knights will rent our hall on a monthly basis and
hopefully this will realize savings for all concerned. The meeting is open
to all members of the Knights of Columbus. It's your opportunity to vote
and determine your future home.

and encourage them in their good works. Following the installation
ceremony, you are invited to the parish hall for a social. Please support

CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
Each week we hope to present a teaching of our faith from the Catechism of
the Catholic Church. Our aim is to help us live and renew the faith we
profess.
The Second Commandment: You Shall not take the name of the Lord your
God in vain.
-The second commandment prescribes respect for the Lord's name. Like
the first commandment, it belongs to the virtue of religion and more
especially it governs our use of speech in sacred matters.
-The second commandment commands respect for the Lord's name. The name of
the Lord is holy.
-The second commandment forbids every improper use of God's name.
Blasphemy is the use of the name of God. ,of Jesus Christ, of the Virgin
Mary and of the saints in an offensive way.
-False oaths call on God to be witness to a lie. Perjury is a grave
offence against the Lord who is always faithful to his promises.
