Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 25, 2020
love me!!! And I have experienced moments intentionally and
unintentionally where I was hurt by unloving actions.
I bring this up because the Church places a strong emphasis on the
family being the first place that God is experienced (The family is
call the Domestic Church—the House Church!) and it is the building
block on which all of our culture and society depends. The culture
also places the family under attack… seeking to reduce and
separate families into individuals.
SUBSIDIARITY IS SUPPORTING FAMILIES
The Catholic Social Teaching principle of subsidiarity identifies
which level of organization is appropriate to address a challenge or
difficulty. Applying subsidiarity is about trying to address a problem
in a meaningful way at the most local level possible. This recognizes
that a rule made at a national level may not really address the
situation in my local reality. I wouldn’t write a US Congressman
about repaving a county road. They are not in a position to deal
with that problem and appropriately resolve it.
SUBSIDIARITY AS BUILDING BLOCKS Parents have rights, obligations, and responsibilities in the raising

FAMILIES HAVE AN ‘I’ AND AN ‘US’ Since we live in a world that markets directly to the consumer…
Within a family, each person has priorities, obligations, needs, directly to the individual. Our society encourages a

• Council #2411’s Family of the Month for October is awarded to Gary Hoefer. Gary has been involved
with the Elgin community, our parish, the Legion, and has been a steadfast Knight for as long as I can
remember. He is our past Grand Knight and now serves as District Deputy for District #18, Gary’s sons
Jason and Aaron are also Knights and active in their Councils. Thanks, and God bless you for your service
to the Knights of Columbus!
• We are happy to announce that Supreme has presented Council #2411 the Columbian and Founders
Awards for the Fraternal year of 2019-20. The Columbian Award is in recognition of the programs our
Council provided for our parish and community. Just to name a few, we donated food and money to the
Antelope, Boone, Holt, and Wheeler county food banks. Council #2411 donated $1,500 to area
seminarians. We were active in Pro Life activities by hosting an eight-day Novena for Life at St. Boniface
and Bonaventure parishes, and we provided $1,350 to the students who attended the Right to Life March in
Washington, D.C. We also sponsored the Keep Christ in Christmas poster contest and the Free Throw
Contest for our youth. The Knights also provided different prayer programs throughout the year for our
parishes that included the Consecration to the Holy Family, first Friday adoration, and the Silver Rose.
Please accept our thanks to all who helped make these programs possible and to all who participated!
The Founders Award is presented to Councils who achieve their insurance quota. A special thank you to
our K of C insurance agent Troy Foecking for his work in helping us to reach our quota.
• Here’s a heads up on a few events happening in November! Our annual Memorial Mass for deceased
Knights and the ensuing potluck will be held on November 11th starting with Mass at 6:00 PM followed
with our meal at the KC hall. Someone will be at the hall prior to Mass if you would like to drop off your
potluck dishes. The Knights will serve the items to help alleviate Covid concerns.
• We are also hosting a just for Men’s Knight Out event at the KC hall on Friday, November 13th, starting at
7:00 p.m. and ending at 8:30 p.m. We’ll be serving beverages and a few heavy and light hors d'oeuvres.
We’re looking forward to getting together with the guys and raising a few funds for the hall during these
financially troubled times. Any man from our six parishes is invited. It’s great it will not go late so we can all
get home safely to our families.
Please share with our Council ideas and thoughts you might have that would help us better serve individuals
or organizations in our area. Share your suggestions with our Worthy Grand Knight, Dave Kerkman, at 843-
