Protest campaign against this award to Morgentaler

Bro. Sunil Mudalige brought this to our attention. I hope as many
brothers as possible participate in the campaign against this award to
Dr. Morgentaler

Gabriel Ogundele (GK)

Our Brother Knight Brian Finamore has forwarded to me an e-mail received from one of his associates.

Following is an excerpt:

".... that U of Western Ontario (a campus that has two Catholic Colleges) is going ahead, despite strong protests, and giving an honorary doctorate to Henry Morgentaler. There is a protest site,
http://www.uwoprotest.com The site has additional venues with which to protest this divisive, insensitive and appalling action....."

It is indeed repulsive that this infamous Herod of our times who has set himself up to profit by his insensitive campaign to legalize the murder of innocents is to be honored by one of our esteemed Universities. I feel strongly that the Knights should put their considerable weight behind this effort.

The actual page (which is attached to the above website) for signing up is also given below.

Best Regards
Your Brother

Kids Help Phone

Hi Team,

Thanks for taking the time to sponsor me for the Bell Walk for Kids Help Phone. I almost reached my target; however, I will start earlier next year and avoid procrastinating.

My first goal was to raise $2000.00, but I changed my view as I got closer to the May 1st deadline. I set a new goal to raise $1000.00; however, with your last minute pledges I was able to raise $655.00 which translates to about 66% of my goal.

Attached is a brief excerpt from Bell CEO Michael Sabia:

"Once again, you have shown your commitment to kids in our communities by enabling the Bell Walk for Kids Help Phone to exceed its target. Led by you, the Walk raised $2.1 million, that's a 24% increase over last year and exceeds our national fundraising goal.

The money supports Kids Help Phone, Canada's only 24-hour, toll-free, bilingual and anonymous phone counselling, referral and Internet service for children and youth.

So thank you. For making a real difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of Canadian children."

Thanks for your sponsorship!

Vivat Jesus!

Bro. Valens

This is the month of Mary, the Queen of the Holy Rosary. Come let us celebrate the Rosary!


'The Rosary is my favourite prayer, said Pope John Paul II.' He saw the Rosary 'as a way for Catholics not only to meet Christ but also to strengthen families and to spread peace' John Paul II thought so highly of the Rosary that he wrote an entire Apostolic Letter (Rosarium Virginis Mariae) on the power of the Rosary as a prayer. He said that at every point of suffering in his life, he found comfort in the Rosary.
The Supreme Chaplain of the Knights, Bishop Thomas V. Daily believes that the Rosary is the cornerstone on which the 'Knights' was built. Encouraging the Knights to pray the Rosary with their families, Bishop Daily says, 'From it (the Rosary) comes the spirit of true prayer; courage to do the work; the willingness to obey the Church's magisterium; the inspiration to patience, even suffering; the desire to succeed in the name of Mary for the glory of God's kingdom. It is basic to our very lives. It is basic to our Order.'
Mari-Lynne Sinnott, student of 18 at Memorial University, St. John's, Nfld., speaks out in last week's Catholic Register (Youth Speak News) about how she made it through a period of extreme stress, with the help of the Rosary. '...I thought I was going to explode. Nothing could calm me down. Rifling through my bags, I came across my rosary beads. I pondered the amount of time which had passed since I last used the beadsand figured, since I'm going to be stuck on this bus for a while, why not? Ignoring the odd looks that I was receiving and clutching these beads as the bus clunked on, I sank into meditation and prayer. I could feel my blood pressure descending, my headache fading, and my mind clearing. When I was finally finished and looked up, the bus was pulling into...and I was finally home, relaxed and refreshed, despite my tedious travels. Now I understood why the Rosary is known as one of the world's most powerful prayers.'
