FAITH FORMATION

NORTH COAST NAVIGATOR

OCTOBER 2023

MONTHLY REFLECTION October falls during the liturgical season known as Tempus per Annum or Ordinary Time (formerly Time After Pentecost), which is represented by the liturgical color green.

Green is a symbol of hope, as it is the color of the sprouting seed and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection. The liturgical color green is worn during the praying of Offices and celebration of Masses of Ordinary Time.

October, as in all of Tempus per Annum, or Ordinary Time (formerly known as Time After Pentecost), the Liturgy does not focus on one particular mystery of Christ, but views the mystery of Christ in all its aspects. We follow the life of Christ through the Gospels, and focus on the teachings and parables of Jesus and what it means for each of us to be a follower of Christ.

Autumn Festivities October usually is an enjoyable time of the year in the United States. The autumn season manifests itself with wonderful fall foliage in many parts of the country. The temperatures are cooler, inviting people outdoors for nature walks, apple or pumpkin picking. School routines are more established and football season is in full swing. The celebrations of the Church for the month of October are also wonderful and unique. The feasts of some of the most popular saints of the universal Church are celebrated during this month: St. Thérèse the Little Flower (France), St. Francis of Assisi (Italy) and St. Teresa of Avila (Spain). These saints come from different countries, and in honoring these saints we can include cultural dishes or activities from each country to make the feast day even more special. Read more about the lives of these saints. Perhaps the family can pick one virtue that each saint practiced well and try to implement it.

The feasts in October also include two of the most popular, time-honored devotions of Catholics, the devotion to the Holy Rosary (October 7) and the Guardian Angels (October 2). In October 2002 St. John Paul II wrote the Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae (the Rosary of the Virgin Mary)."

This letter introduced five new mysteries, called the Luminous or Mysteries of Light, which are: 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Jesus' Baptism in the Jordan Jesus' self manifestation at the wedding of Cana Proclamation of the Kingdom of God, with the call to conversion the Transfiguration, and the Institution of the Eucharist.

Try to make a more concerted effort to pray the Rosary together as a family during the month of October, read the Apostolic Letter to understand the beauty of this devotion more deeply, and pray the Luminous mysteries.

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary.

The Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated on October 7.

The Holy Father's Intentions for the Month of October 2023 For the Synod: We pray for the Church, that she may adopt listening and dialogue as a lifestyle at every level, and allow herself to be guided by the Holy Spirit towards the peripheries of the world.

GROWTH

NORTH COAST NAVIGATOR

OCTOBER 2023

GROWTH REPORT Brothers, With September behind us, we have hit the quarter mark of the fraternal year.

With that in mind, I would like to acknowledge those councils that have started the year off on fire! Leading the diocese thus far with 7 new members is #8320 John Carroll. They are already at 140% of their Supreme goal. There are five other councils that are over 50% that are looking to reach their goal by Christmas. They are #2362, #2643, #3213, #3304, #4168, & 7970. Also worth mentioning, are five more that are at least 33% of their Supreme goal: #774, #10792, #10936, #15942, #16137, & #16376. That makes 11 councils on pace to reach their goal by the end of March! Unfortunately, every Browns fan knows what happens when you ease up after a great first quarter. So, let’s keep up the great work!

On the other hand, we still have 39 active councils that have yet to bring in a new member. I know that there are many councils that have church drives scheduled for October. I’m sure that many of those 0s will be erased very soon. I would like to encourage you to use e-membership instead of the paper form100s.

This will speed up the processing time from weeks to minutes. Also, please make sure that your DD and insurance field agent are aware of your church drive.

They are assets to your council that would be foolish waste.

Keep reaching out those e-members on your prospect tabs. These potential new members could erase several of those “0 new members”. Many of the abovementioned councils have thrived on e-membership. Please keep me updated on your progress on those gentleman, whether it’s good or bad news.

Finally, I want to remind you about the Cleveland Diocesan team is having a drawing for councils hosting live degrees through the month of October. If you’re having a church drive, it would be ideal to also plan on hosting a degree ceremony as well. A good schedule that works for some is to have the church drive a week or two before you general meeting. Vote on any new members at the meeting. Host the degree ceremony 3-7 days later. If you need help in forming a team, let your DD, myself or Jim Maslach know. We will be happy to assist you.

“If you’re not growing, you’re dying.”

OCTOBER 2023

WHY COR? The Knights of Columbus empowers Catholic men to live their faith and serve their family, parish, community, and country.

Why? Because families need strong husbands and fathers, and the world needs courageous witnesses to Jesus Christ. Through Cor, men will be formed and sharpened as disciples of Jesus, who are committed to serving him and willing to boldly live and share their faith. It is the mandate of every Catholic man to bring Jesus to a broken world. To live his faith and engage in this mission, every Catholic man needs a strong relationship with God that is rooted in prayer and the sacraments. Catholic men need to proactively invest in their on-going faith formation, to be a part of a dynamic brotherhood that supports, sharpens, and strengthens them to be holy men, husbands, and fathers, and to engage in the mission of the Church.

The mission of Cor is to refocus Catholic men on Jesus Christ and to form and strengthen them in faith and virtue through a brotherhood committed to prayer, formation, and fraternity. The goal of each Cor gathering is to provide the opportunity for men to encounter Christ, to pray together, to be formed in their faith, and to strengthen their bonds of brotherhood, preparing them for courageous leadership and the mission of evangelization for their families and communities.

Key Elements of Cor Cor consists of three key elements which must be present for every gathering: prayer, formation, and fraternity. The word ‘cor’ is Latin for heart and the root of the word courage. Prayer, Formation, and Fraternity all begin with the heart and direct the heart in relationship to God and each other. These three elements build and strengthen each other and help provide consistency.

Prayer: Lifting of our minds and hearts to God Through prayer, we encounter Christ and animate our faith and relationship with him. We must first know Jesus and receive from him before we can share him with our families and communities. Shared time in prayer will help men focus their minds and hearts on God and give depth and life to formation and fraternal brotherhood. Like all relationships, prayer requires commitment and consistency.

Formation: Becoming like Christ. As disciples of Christ, the goal of Catholic formation is to become like Christ, taking on his character and virtue, his life of prayer, and his mission. He is the model of holiness. Formation is life-long and requires an intentional commitment. Alongside prayer, formation helps increase our knowledge and love of God and of neighbor. Intentional and structured times of formation help direct fraternity toward the shared pursuit of Christ, of holiness, and a life of faith and missionary discipleship. Formation requires the animation of prayer and the accountability of fraternity.

Fraternity: Centering brotherhood on Christ Fraternity is not just friendship or hanging out, it is a true brotherhood centered on Christ. This type of brotherhood has depth and trust, where men sharpen one another and accompany each other as disciples of Christ. Brotherhood made up of Christ-centered friendships is necessary for men to grow in holiness, as leaders, and as missionary disciples. Like prayer and formation, fraternity must be intentional, requires proximity and consistency, and the shared mission of evangelization.

For more information on the cor initiative, consult Form 11500 which is available on the state website under PUBS&RESOURCES. You can also reach out to Ty Tyjewski at 440-867-4503 or Jim Maslach at 440-785-9838 or via email at kofcjkm@gmail.com.

ISSUES & CONCERNS

NORTH COAST NAVIGATOR

OCTOBER 2023

CATHOLIC CONFERENCE OF OHIO Defeat Issue 1: Abortion Amendment CCO on Issue 1 The Catholic Conference of Ohio firmly opposes Issue 1, which would enshrine the “right” to abortion in the Ohio Constitution. This extreme amendment endangers the health and safety of women, threatens parental rights, and allows for abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.

CCO's Resources • 4 Things You Need to Know (Video) • Frequently Asked Questions (English | Spanish) • Where Does It Say That? (English | Spanish) • 54-Day Novena (pray54ohio.org)

Message from Bishop Malesic On November 7, the people of Ohio will have the opportunity to demonstrate how our state views the sacredness of life and the dignity of women. Bishop Edward Malesic is asking Catholics to carefully consider how they will vote on the amendment that will expand and enshrine abortion in Ohio’s constitution. Click the video to watch.

Abortion, death penalty easy answer| Mother Catholic News Agency: Catholic imagery doesn’t belong in pro-abortion Ohio campaign ad, critics say Visit www.ohiocathconf.org/protect to access all resources from the Catholic Conference of Ohio to defeat Issue 1.

NO on Issue 2: Recreational Marijuana CCO Opposes Issue 2 The Catholic Conference of Ohio encourages Catholics and all people of good will to Vote NO on Issue 2, "An Act to Control and Regulate Adult Use of Cannabis,” which would legalize recreational marijuana.

Issue 2 would: Threaten Public Health - per the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "The use of drugs inflicts very grave damage on human health and life." (paragraph 229) Endanger Children - marijuana use by youth has risen considerably in states where recreational use has been legalized, harming child development, especially neurologically.

Endanger Communities - studies show legalization of marijuana increases traffic accidents and fatalities as well as increasing rates of workplace accidents and injuries.

The dignity of life in its earliest stages is threatened by proposed Ohio Constitutiona l amendment, to be voted on in the November 7th election, to expand and enshrine abortion at the expense of protections for preborn children and women. As Catholics, we cannot remain on the sidelines when confronted with such a clear threat to human life.

Member Experience

Council Growth

Church Recruitment Drive

Join us for this workshop on how to ensure that all council members have a positive and fulfilling membership experience that leads to a greater involvement in your council, parish, and community.

Our communities need active Councils.

What is your Council doing to support the parish and community? Are you supporting your priest’s vision for his parish? The programs we do are so needed. If not us, then who? “What you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me” (Matthew 25:40).

Together we will discuss the value and share some ideas on how growth can help your Council follow the teachings of Jesus & follow the path of Blessed Michael McGivney.

Membership Growth is critical to the longevity of the Knights of Columbus and our impact on local parishes and communities. What does successful recruitment look like? This session on Church Drive recruitment will help guide you and your council in making a positive appeal to the men and families of your parishes. We will walk through practical planning and organizing tips, review materials available, and responding to the “No’s.”
