Hello Chris and Todd, I was not sure who to contact. I wanted to ask again if we could please have the Knights at Confirmation and or First Holy Communion. It just makes the day so extra special for the kids.
Confirmation with Bishop Solis will be here at STM on April 28 at 2:00pm, this will count to fulfill your Sunday obligation. Blessed Sacrament will be joining our group for this event. FHC will be on May 19 at the 11:30 Mass.
I know it takes some time to pull guys together. Thank you for your help!

Actualización del seguro/Insurance Update

¡Espero que este mensaje te encuentre bien!

He recibido algunas preguntas de nuestros hermanos de habla hispana sobre los productos de seguros de Caballeros de Colón. Me hizo darme cuenta de que es posible que hayamos perdido una oportunidad en el pasado de brindarles uno de los beneficios de convertirse en Caballeros: cobertura de seguro para ustedes y sus familias. He hablado con nuestro agente de seguros Bill Munday al respecto, y él está dispuesto a visitar a cualquier persona interesada en comprar una nueva póliza o actualizar su póliza actual. El encuentro se llevará a cabo en el Centro Social el domingo 19 de mayo, después de la Misa en español (aproximadamente a las 12:30 PM). Bill también traerá a su esposa, que nació en México y habla español con fluidez para explicar mejor las ofertas, ella también es la gerente de la oficina de Bill y está familiarizada con el surtido de productos. Mi esperanza es que esto resuelva cualquier "error" que podamos haber creado involuntariamente. Si tiene alguna pregunta antes del día 19, responda a este correo electrónico y le responderé o me comunicaré con Bill para obtener una respuesta. Este mensaje fue traducido del inglés al español en MS Word, así que mis disculpas por cualquier error.

Steve

  

I hope this message finds you well!

I have fielded a few inquiries from our Spanish-speaking brothers about the Knights of Columbus insurance products. It made me realize that we may have missed an opportunity in the past to provide them with one of the benefits of becoming a Knight: insurance coverage for them and their families. I have spoken to our insurance agent Bill Mundy about it, and he is willing to visit with anyone interested in purchasing a new policy or updating their current policy. The meeting will be held in the Social Center on Sunday, May 19th, after the Spanish Mass (approximately 12:30 PM). Bill will also bring his wife, who is Mexican-born and speaks fluent Spanish to better explain the offerings – she is also Bill’s office manager and is familiar with the products. While this meeting will be primarily for our Spanish-speaking members, I’m confident that if ANY member of the Knights wishes to chat with Bill about coverage you can stop by and have a chat with him. My hope is that tis will resolve any ‘misses’ that we may have unintentionally created.

Sunday May 19th after the Spanish Mass in our Social Center (approximately 12:30 PM) - our Agent Bill Mundy will be conducting an Insurance & Financial Planning seminar. I've fielded several requests from our Spanish-speaking brothers and have an opportunity to offer them a product that they may need. Bill's wife (and office manager) speaks fluent Spanish, knows the product offerings, and will be there to assist.

What are the Knights of Columbus?

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men’s fraternal benefit society that was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works. Imagine being part of an organization that fills your heart and your mind with the joy of giving to others and the feeling that comes with making a difference. Knights are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who are committed to making their community a better place, while supporting their Church. Being a Knight is more than camaraderie; it is being involved with your community; it is supporting your local Catholic Church, while enhancing your own faith; it is about protecting and enhancing your family life. Please contact us for more information about becoming a Knight!
