along with wives and kids as well as our guests from new Life. Thanks to Brendan and Joy for doing all the
hard work getting the event going. PGK Sam took a boatload of photos, Katie Christenson did the kids crafts,
Vinnie, Will and Diane did the trains, soon to be a Knight Jerry Herbert (AKA Santa) really did an awesome job
with all the kids, individual Knights anonymously provided all the gifts on our guests’ wish list, Joy painted 50
faces, sometimes several times, Kathy, Dee, Lisa, Patty worked the Secret Santa shop and got the party started with
the electric slide, Ameli assisted Santa, plus a whole bunch more that cooked, brought food, helped sing carols.
Thank you for making this year’s edition a fun party for our guests!!!
January 17th Free Throw competition. Tim Schott reminds us that we need rebounders, score keepers, registration
desk jobs, and victims for the Wall ’O’ Shame. We have one of the best events in state in terms of participation.
Our strong relationship with the Warrior Youth basketball program makes this a great community event.
We’ve got the Right to Life March on January 22nd. A great way to show our support for life!!! See Dan Beck

We met the $500 threshold for cash donations to Food for Families. We had a strong round of donations at the last
meeting. $100. Thanks to Joe and DGK Don for getting the donations going!!! That $500 to the food pantry will
be turned into another $100 later in the year as we meet Supremes’ criteria for the program. New member Gary
Grant reminds us that the pantry serves thousands of people every year.
Congratulations to Brendan Crimmins as the Knight of the Year!!!! He steps up whenever needed, works hard,
and a strong supporter of the Pro Life movement. A no brainer choice. Way to go Brendan!
Family of the Year, just as easy. The Gamache Family. Strong supporters of the faith and our council. Winner
of the State Family of the Year award. Awesome!!!
Quote of the Year,” It takes more than one monkey to run the circus….” Brendan Crimmins commenting on how

The Polish Fest is in high gear. All are encouraged to sign up to work, sell and buy raffle tickets, and donate to the

Finally…
Happy New Year to All. May we experience peace, prosperity, and live our lives in the model of Jesus Christ..
Respectfully,
Kevin Quinn, Grand Knight

Deputy Grand Knights Message
Brothers Knights,
WOW! It is time for me to get out a message again. I have been so busy that this didn’t sneak up on
me. It hit me like a lightning jolt (not the first).
Let me start with a very big THANK YOU to Brother Knight Brendan Crimmins and his lovely wife, Joy. They
did a marvelous job at organizing and producing the wonderful Christmas Party for New Life. There was plenty of
good food and all had a very good time. If you were in attendance and left a little early you missed the best part.
The consummate social director, Dee Nycz, wife of Brother John Nycz, got all of our guests and some of our
members’ wives on the floor to dance. They were having a great time. Too bad I was doing a little kitchen work
or I may have gotten out myself (I have been known to get on the floor to dance every once in a while). Later there
were Christmas songs playing and everyone joined in singing. It was a terrific evening and I thank all for
attending. I also want to THANK all the Knights and their families who stepped-up and help fill the Christmas
wishes for guests.
Thanks are in order to all the brother Knights that assisted in making the food for Breakfast with Santa this year.
They did a great job in not only cooking the food but getting it all out in a very timely manner. The event was a
big success for the Home and School Association, and the fine ladies who organized the event were very pleased
with not only how well the Knights worked but how joyful and helpful the Knights were during the entire event.
Our helping other organizations in our Parish certainly is a very important part of our commitment to Charity.
Now for the flip (down) side of events, or should I say areas which we must improve. There were four no-shows
for the Breakfast with Santa event. There were a few reasons, all understandable, but the blunder was that no one
let me know ahead of time. They all felt that the sign-up was sufficient and their absence could be absorbed. They
were correct if it was only one person, but this was four empty slots. There were two unscheduled individuals who
did show up after 10 AM that sure helped with the final clean-up activities. The bottom line was that we had four

Brother Knights who had to pick up the slack. They started with prep at 0630 and worked straight through both
shifts. It would have been nice to have a couple of guys to give them a little break. Sure is a good thing they
don’t have a union, or I would have had to pay them triple time. OH, that’s ok it works out to the same figure.
Seriously, my real concern is individuals getting burnt-out or feeling used or unappreciated for all they do in the
kitchen. I know it is a kind of behind the scenes type of activity which is not appreciated as much as it should
be. So in the future, if you have signed up for an event and are unable to attend, please call the person heading
up that event as soon as possible to give them time to make some pre-event modifications. Thanks. Remember
we are only as strong as our weakest member individually, but strong together; we must remember the valuable
concept of unity.
Oh, my first lightning bolt was about 30 years ago and it was real and it knocked me cold and really scared me. I
just don’t know why God keeps saving me and granting me miracles. I guess he wants me to do something, I
just don’t know what.
God Bless,
Vivat Jesus,
Don Vosnick, Deputy Grand Knight
Faithful Navigator Message
Brother Sir Knights,
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Sr. Knights and their families a Very Merry
Christmas and a Happy and safe New Year. Please remember the greatest Christmas gift of all,
and the reason for this Season, our” Savior Jesus Christ”. Please keep the spirit of Christmas
in your hearts when travelling to be with family and friends for Christmas and when
celebrating on New Year’s Eve.
As 2014 comes to an end let us reflect on the support that we as Sir Knights have been blessed to give our
Parishes and communities. I thank all of you for your dedication and support. During the 2015 year we will
face many opportunities and I know that we are prepared to meet all challenges.
The 2015 4th Degree Exemplification is on March 22nd in Grantville. Our Worthy Faithful Captain, Frank
Blodgett will need your help in fulfilling our assemblies duties in the hospitality suite. Help will be needed
selling Cherries for Cash Tickets and bartending the evening of Sat.21st and on Sunday the 22nd we are
responsible for serving lunch before the Exemplification. Food donations are needed for Saturday evening. It is
not too soon to offer Frank your support. Also remember to sign up if you need a hotel reservation for either
night. Frank is your point of contact.
Thank You McSherrystown Council #2551 for hosting our December meeting on Thursdays the 18th
The Assembly next meets on Jan. 15th at the Bonneauville Council 15655 at 8:00 PM. Rosary 7:45 PM.
Vivat Jesus,
Bowen R. Gifford, Faithful Navigator
Food for Families Update
Food for Families is back on track. As of the last meeting we had approximately 335 pounds of food collected
toward a goal of 1,000 pounds, and we received additional cash donations at the last meeting of $100 (WOW!)
with cash total at that time of $314 toward the goal of $500. And since that meeting we now have met the $500
goal for cash donations to Food for Families. Great effort Gentlemen!! Please consider bringing non-perishable
food items and/or cash to any of our council meetings to help support this effort, because this is an ongoing
program.
Thanks,
Joe Grohal

Brothers,
I hope you had a Blessed Christmas. I have three very important items I want to mention this
month; buses, house and party.
JEOPARDY question: "What K of C activity by Council 8891 touches Community, Service, Family, Youth, Church
and Pro Life activities?"
ANSWER: What is the annual K of C Christmas Party for the ladies and children of New Life for Women.
This year's party was terrific. A big tip of the hat to Brendan Crimmins for chairing it and to all the Knights and wives
who cooked, donated presents, decorated and hosted the Christmas get-together. A whopping success.
BUSES to the National Right to Life March. Reserve a seat on one of the two buses. Call me, email me or look for
the sign-up table in the Atrium after Mass. We want to fill both buses. tomevans54@comcast.net 235-8833. The theme
for this year's March is, "Every Life is a Gift".
What's so special about the 'house on North 2nd Street, Harrisburg? 2704 N. 2nd backs up to the Hillcrest Abortion
Clinic at 2709 Front St. The rear of each building shares a common service road between the two rows of houses.
Clients of the clinic park in the rear and enter from there. Sidewalk counsellors are permitted to stand in this alley and
ask prospective customers not to make the same mistake they made years ago. Sidewalk counsellors can now use 2704
as a base for their activities. 2704 has an upstairs room that overlooks the back of the abortion clinic. It has been
blessed as a chapel by Bishop Gainer and is dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Mass will be offered on First Fridays.
After Mass, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed for adoration in the Chapel for the rest of the day.
2704 came to be because a lady, very dedicated to the Pro-Life movement, heard that it was for rent and rented it. She
asked for no help but surely could use some. She is willing to keep it going on her own and still maintain the home she
and her husband and children live in. At a minimum, the home will be open on Wednesdays and Fridays and alternate
Saturdays, the days abortions are performed. It's a place counsellors can take women to sit down with a cup of tea and
talk to them about their experiences and expose them to alternatives to abortion.
Does this work? I know that on Friday, Dec 11, a lady changed her mind about aborting after talking to one of the
counsellors. While we were decorating for the New Life Christmas party on Sat, Dec 12, Joy Crimmins got a text from
one of the counsellors informing her that another lady changed her mind. Brothers, it works. Keep everyone involved
in this effort in your prayers. They are doing the very heavy lifting.
Happy New Year,
Tom Evans, Pro-Life Chair

Breakfast with Santa – Wrap-Up
Breakfast with Santa was a great success. Things went very smoothly and all had a good time. I must
thank the many individuals who made this year’s breakfast event such an enjoyable success. I will start
by thanking the Home and School chairperson, Mrs. Patty Mazziott. Patty did a very fine job of getting
everything organized and set-up; and like a true leader she selected some very competent individuals to
assist. Mary (sorry this old guy forgot her last name), the lovely young lady who purchased all of the
food. Mary did an excellent job and was really close on the purchase of many items. Then there was the ultimate
bookkeeper, the lovely gal with all the correct numbers, Nina David who was able to provide me with the number of
children, infants, and adults attending each seating. Boy was that information ever helpful, it sure made life a lot better
knowing how many pancake trees to make for each seating.
Then there is the crew in the kitchen, I must start with Miriam Gamache, our lovely young lady on the grill, who made
all of those adorable pancake trees. I sure hope she is home on Christmas break from college at this time next year.
Doing double duty in the kitchen were Grand Knight Kevin Quinn, Lenny Casiero, Brendin Crimmins, David Gamache,
and Barry Price. Actually, it was more like triple duty for Mr. Price and Mr. Crimmins who joined me by 0630 for prep.
Great support was also provided by Tony Steinauer (PGK), Don Christensen, and Mark Phipps. Helping out after 10:00
AM were Dan Beck and Bill Casseday who were not initially signed up; boy was there appearance and help a welcomed
sight.
Again thanks to all this was a very rewarding event.

Polish Fest – Raffle Prizes & Desserts – February 7th
Brothers,
The second annual Polish Fest will be Saturday, February 7th, 4-9pm. We are asking for gift cards
to add to our Wine Cooler Raffle. No more than a $10 gift card from our local Wine & Spirits store
is sufficient. We got the Wine Cooler on sale for $256 (actual value $385) and we would like to
get the total value of the winning prize up to between $400-$500. If you are able to do so please
leave cards inside an envelope in the K of C mailbox in the church office with my name on it.
Also, we will need help with desserts. Donated homemade or store bought it doesn’t matter. We
appreciate any and all donations. Hope I am not asking too much of all you with Christmas still in the rearview mirror.
We have dates reserved in the church atrium for the raffle ticket sales. They are the weekends of January 10-11 & 1718.
And please remember to purchase your tickets for this event early, because as you remember we sold out last year
and had to send people away. Flier with more information included in this Knight Edition on page 8.
God Bless,

New Life Christmas Party – Wrap-Up
Thanks to everyone who participated in any way. There are too many people to name. Once again a great time was had
by all who attended the party. Rachel the Director posted pictures on their Facebook page and thanked all the Knights
and their wives for a beautiful evening. Rachel said that it’s groups like us that keep this program running and they can’t
continue to run the program without the help of people like us This was truly a group effort from the purchasing of the
gifts to the cooking of the meal Santa’s visit, Santa’s secret gift shop, Crafts, Dancing, Games and Trains and of course
the Face Painting and I couldn’t have done this without the support of my partner and Loving wife Joy THANK YOU
ALL
Some photos on Page 10.
Joy and I would also like to extend a very special THANK YOU to Chuck and Lisa Carey for doing this for the past
eleven years and the great support and help they provided to us the rookies in making this a success once again this year
You both will be missed but we will carry on the good works you started with this program. All of us wish you the very
best in your next phase of your retirement in Myrtle Beach.
Keep Christ in Christmas Drawing Content Winners
Christmas is a blessed time of year but it can also be fun. Our grade schoolers here
at St. John’s really got into the Christmas spirit and showed that they know where
our focus should lie during Advent, Jesus. Grades K - Third did an excellent job of
recreating the Nativity. Many of our students put forth an exceptional effort into
their drawings and it was difficult for our guys to decide on the winners.
Congratulations to our 2014 winners. Pictured from left to right are Kindergartener
Kate Benesch, Second Grader Madeline Murphy, Third Grader Allie Petera, and
First Grader Morgan Campbell. I truly enjoy my interaction with the kids, they are
wonderful to work with.
Merry Christmas to all my Brother Knights and their families,
Chuck Carey

Community Program Update
In the upcoming months I will be presenting articles of what the council can do to contribute to the
welfare of the community. We know, as a council, we do a great job for the church and school because
we see it every day in front of us. But I know there are brother knights and their families that are doing
work in the community. If you are doing some of the things listed below, or know of a council member,
please tell us about it. Send an email to newfreedomkoc8891@gmail.com. Tell us a little about the activity, who is
involved, when it took place and how many hours you and your family contributed.
HUMAN NEEDS
Housing, food and health all have two things in common, they represent human needs and they offer a fertile field for
community service projects. Among ways to address those needs are:
• Donating council services to food banks and soup kitchens that rely on volunteers not only to collect food but also to
prepare and deliver it.
• Conducting food drives in your council and community or starting a community garden with all the produce grown
to be donated to local community groups or agencies helping the needy.
• Supporting groups that deliver meals to homebound people such as Meals on Wheels programs (for more
information contact the group providing the service in your local community). Remember, people are hungry every
day of the year; not only at Thanksgiving and Christmas
• Helping meet the psychological and recreational needs of the aged by visiting and offering encouragement to
residents of homes for the elderly. Get commitments from your council members to make regular visits to elderly
people in rest and long-term care centers or sponsor recreational, social or religious events for older people at your
council home;
• Working with groups that give people with disabilities the ability to live independently.
• Helping groups that assist senior citizens, the frail and homebound, people with Alzheimer’s disease and the people
who care for them.
• Providing transportation for the elderly for Mass, shopping, visiting relatives or doctor appointments, helping senior
citizens who live alone in performing routine household tasks.
• Lending a hand to people with intellectual disabilities (read and inform yourself about the facts by contacting the
local chapter of ARC (thearc.org) and tying your projects and activities with them so that there can be coordinated
involvement in working out the problems which face citizens with intellectual disabilities).
• “Adopting” students at a special learning class or school for children with intellectual disabilities, taking the young
people on field trips, hosting parties for them, giving them gifts on their birthdays, and sponsoring other activities to
brighten their days and boost their self-confidence.
• Supporting community programs that enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities by promoting greater
opportunities in education, housing, employment, transportation and recreation.
• Battling adult illiteracy by providing volunteer tutors, raising money for adult basic reading material, urging local
businesses to institute workplace reading programs, and spreading the word that assistance is available to
nonreaders. If no literacy programs are available locally, work to develop one.

Brothers,
We are actively involved in our daily activities including work, family, sporting activities, hobbies
and supporting our council in its endeavors. Our wives stand by us in support of those activities. It
is again the perfect time to take our wives out to dinner as a small thank you for their support of us
in everything that we do. This opportunity gives us a chance to socialize as couples and give our wives a chance
to meet other wives and our brother knights and put faces to the names.
Please consider joining your brother knights and their spouses at Mama's Pizza Italian Ristorante for dinner at
6:30pm. Mama's Pizza Italian Ristorante is located at 215 North Main Street in Loganville (just west of the I-83

they have reserved a banquet space for us for this event. They will offer us a special event menu (below) made
