Grand Knight - Fred Anderson
Dear Brother Knights,
We are now entering our second year of lockdown. Let’s pray the vaccinations con-
tinue and we can return to a new normal soon.
I hope you and your families had a safe and meaningful Easter season.
Call for ,ominations:
April is normally the month we have nominations for next year’s executive. In the in-
terest of retaining some normalcy, we are calling for nominations at our next meeting
April 13. Please refer to pages 6 and 7 in this newsletter setting out the descriptions for
each of the positions – thanks Ron for that.
As I mentioned at our last meeting, over 30% of our current members are Life or Hon-
orary Life members – which requires a member be over 70 years old. Almost all of our
executive consists of this age group. To maintain the work and success of your Council,
we need some younger members to step forward and to become more active.
Please take some time and consider whether you can step up your involvement in our
Council.
Council news:
At our last meeting we approved $2,000 for upgrades to the sound equipment used in
the online streaming of mass and other functions at the church. This means that we
have essentially funded the cost of the entire livestreaming equipment in use at Good
Shepherd. Great work brothers!
Scholarship applications are currently available either in this newsletter (pages 4 and 5)
or from DGK Ron Barnhard.
Stay safe and, if you are able, help those in need. Continue to pray for those who are
sick and in harm’s way.
"Vivat Jesus"

Deputy Grand Knight - Ron Barnhard
Hello Brother Knights,
Some activity has taken place in our council is spite of the COVID-19
restrictions:
- Our Grand Knight was approached by the staff of our parish with a request to deliver
the approximately 100 offertory envelope boxes that had not been picked up due to
covid. We agreed to take on the project but when the time came to pick up the boxes
there were close to 400. Luckily for me we had an excellent crew of members volunteer
to help make the deliveries. I thank the following members who made this project an
easy one:
Vule Babic Piero Bachetti
Ron Barnhard Rene Bedard
John Chenier Frank Chelsea
Jerry Deck Douglas Fuerth
Robert T. Kane Paul Loebach
Stan Lovecky Dan Marentette
Jack Regnier Stan Rychel
Don Seguin George Thakidiyil
Mike Trepanier
- Our Scholarship program can’t be stopped
by Covid. We are starting to see applications
coming in for this year. Please see applica-
tion forms and instructions in this newsletter.
- At this point we are considering carrying
forward our current executive for another
year since our current team really hasn’t had
an opportunity to make much progress in advancing the principles and good works of
our council. If, however you are interested in joining our executive team please let us
know. You will find a list of responsibilities for each elected position in our council. We
are encouraging new members on our executive team with new ideas to help advance the
fine works that our council have been known for.
Hoping to see you back at our masses in the near future.
Ron Barnhard,
Deputy Grand Knight

Duties of Our Elected
Knights of Columbus Council
Executive Officers
The following is a description for each elected member of
the executive officers of our Council:
Grand Knight
The grand knight is responsible for the welfare of the council. He presides over
council meetings, acts as an ex-officio member of all committees, appoints a
membership and programming director, convenes officers for a monthly meet-
ing, and ensures all necessary reports are submitted to the state and Supreme
Council. He should also be aware of the council’s financial status and ensure that
his signature appears on all checks drawn.
Deputy Grand Knight
The deputy grand knight is second in command. He assists the grand knight with
council affairs and fulfills all duties assigned to him by the grand knight. Should
the grand knight be absent from a council meeting, the deputy grand knight
will preside. He is chairman of the council’s retention committee
Chancellor
The chancellor has a variety of responsibilities. Primarily, he assists the grand
knight and the deputy grand knight in the execution of their duties and oversees
the council in both their absences. He is charged with strengthening the mem-
bers’ interests in council activities. The chancellor is chairman of the admission
committee
Recorder
The recorder is similar to a court reporter or a secretary. He is responsible for
Page 6
maintaining a true record of all actions of the council and it’s correspondence. A
Recorder’s Minute Book (#1403) is available from the Knights of Columbus Sup-
ply Department for keeping a record of council meetings.
Treasurer
The treasurer is responsible for the safekeeping and maintaining records of all
council funds and accounts. He is responsible for depositing money into the coun-
cil’s accounts and provides a certificate of such monies to the grand knight. He is
also responsible for payment of all expenses.
Advocate
The advocate is the legal representative of the council and serves as the council’s
attorney at trials and investigations of any interest to the council. While he does
not need to be a member of the legal profession, he should be familiar with the
council by-laws, the Order’s Charter, Constitution and Laws (#30), Methods of
Conducting a Council Meeting (#1937), and Robert’s Rules of Order.
Warden
The warden is the ‘watchdog’ for council property and degree paraphernalia, ex-
cept the property of the financial secretary, treasurer and recorder. He is also re-
sponsible for setting up the council chambers for meetings and ceremonial work.
During ceremonial exemplifications, he will appoint and supervise guards.
Inside & Outside Guards
The guards have similar responsibilities, but distinct differences. The outside
guard tends to the outer door admitting visitors and members to the inner door.
Once at the inner door, the inside guard checks to make sure that their member-
ship cards are current.
Trustees
The board of trustees consists of three members elected by the council and the
grand knight, who serves as chairman of the board. They oversee the work of the
financial secretary and treasurer, and with the deputy grand knight serve on the

Thank you from Good Shepherd
Below you will find a thank you from Fr Patrick to our Grand Knight for our recent commitment to fund the up-
grades to the sound system as part of the livestreaming program.

Hi Fred!
Please pass on my gratitude to the Knights of Columbus once again for their ongoing support of
our sound and technology needs. We can prepare the best homilies, with the best messages, but
when the sound drops in and out and we miss words, it gets frustrating!
We are looking forward to the updated mics that way both in person and online, we can get the
Good news out to all!
God bless!
