Our Lady of the
Sacred Heart Council 4282 Knights of
September 2007
Grand Knight’s Message – Brothers, summer is
officially over. For some of us it’s time to get back to work, some of us never
stopped, and some of us reached that great age of retirement. With summer
vacations over I’m hoping and praying our meeting attendance rises. At
September’s meeting I went over a list of coming events. I will be setting up a
table, hopefully, on the right side of the church narthex to sell our
Entertainment books, Football Sweepstakes and C.O.A.L. tickets before and after
each of the Masses on Saturdays and Sundays. If you can help, before or after
any of the Masses, please call me at
Fraternal Report – Kindly remember in your
prayers those Brother Knights and their family members who are ill and/or
recuperating at home or in the hospital especially Judy Tanzosh,
wife of PGK Bill Tanzosh. Also, please continue to
remember and pray for the souls of the deceased members and their families.
Remember, one of the most important ways Knights support each other is through
prayer, especially at times of illness or death. Anyone
knowing of a member of this council or a council member’s family who is sick or
in need of assistance should contact any council officer.
Membership – At the August meeting, new
membership applications were read and approved for Ronald E. Tasillo and Floyd
F. Caiazzo and
transfer applications were approved for Deacon Joseph H. Pufko and David L. Posa. My apologies to all
whose names were misspelled in the last newsletter. At the September meeting, a new membership
application was read and approved for John A. Tintorri. Anyone knowing of a prospective new member should
contact Membership Chairman Russ Ayers at 610-759-6464 .

Insurance News– Our K of C Insurance field
representative, Bruce J. Micciulla, reminds all
Brother Knights that, if you have sufficient life insurance for yourselves (he
can help you to determine whether or not you do), you might want to investigate
policies for your children. The most important reason to consider purchasing
policies for your children is that by starting low-cost children’s policies
now, you can help them meet future needs. Moreover, if your child develops a
medical condition later on, you’ve basically “guaranteed her insurability,” and
any medical condition won’t be an obstacle to obtaining additional coverage at
standard rates. Bruce will happily provide all Brother Knights with a
no-obligation family needs analysis. Contact Bruce at 610-905-4109 or at bruce@micciulla.com. You might also

Birthday Corrections - Sorry for omitting Brother
Knight William T. Serencsits’
birth date of 7/23 from the July listing. The official roster from Supreme
Council has the wrong date. Also, sorry for missing Brother Knight Charles M. Otranto’s
birth date of 6/25. Note: any time you spot an error, especially in name
spelling or dates, please notify the Grand Knight. This might signify an error
in official Supreme Council records and could possibly result problems when
trying to claim benefits if not corrected now.
