Knight of the Month Miguel Saldaña
Our Knight of the Month for September 20265 is Miguel Saldaña.
SK Saldaña serves as the Lecturer of the Council bringing thoughtful reflection on topics he shares during Council meetings. But he does so much more than that. In addition to this responsibility, he is a Sacristan, a leader of the Legion of Mary, First Friday/Saturday Adorers, Camillus Ministry, and visitor to brothers in the hospital and multiple extended care facilities.
He has been most helpful in the forming and continuing success of our Latino Roundtable. His knowledge of our Catholic faith is remarkable, and he is willing to share with anyone who asks.
Our Council is proud and fortunate to have such an individual as a member.
Congratulations to Miguel for being the Council 12017 Knight of the Month.

Knights Movie Night
The Knights of Columbus "Movie Night" program presents a free screening of The Mayo Clinic on Saturday, October 10 from 6:30 to 9:00pm in the Parish Hall.
In August 1883, in the aftermath of one of the worst tornadoes in Midwest history, an agnostic country doctor and the leader of a Catholic teaching order created a partnership that would one day be considered the greatest medical institution in the world—a place for hope when there was no hope. Mother Alfred Moes and William Worrall Mayo may have not shared religious beliefs, but they were both visionaries … and fiercely devoted to caring for the sick.
Follow the growth from its first days to the world-renowned institution it's become.
In its first 150 years, Mayo has made many of the most significant breakthroughs in medicine — including real-time frozen-section tumor analysis, the discovery of cortisone, and the first series of successful surgeries using a heart-lung bypass machine. Today, Mayo researchers are involved in thousands of studies and clinical trials to accelerate the pace of stem cell, gene-based, and other individualized therapies.
In 1986, the Clinic, St. Mary’s Hospital, and the affiliated Rochester Methodist Hospital merged as an integrated center of medicine with total assets of $1 billion. It has since created medical centers in Jacksonville, Florida and Scottsdale, Arizona, a regional healthcare system, a medical school, and a worldwide network of like-minded hospitals — all dedicated putting into practice W.W. Mayo’s belief that the needs of the patient must always come first.

Please join us for a free screening on October 10 from 6:30 to 9:00pm in the Parish Hall. Admission is free though donations are greatly appreciated.
