We are pleased to offer a preventive health event at our hall. Life Line Screening, a leading provider of community-based preventive health screenings, will host their affordable, non-invasive and painless health screenings on 10/2/2013. Five screenings will be offered that scan for potential health problems related to: blocked arteries which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and women, used to assess the risk of osteoporosis. Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4 vascular tests and osteoporosis screening from $149 ($139 with our member discount). All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete. In order to register for this event and to receive a $10 discount off any package priced above $129, please call 1-888-653-6441 or visit http://www.lifelinescreening.com/community-partners.
Culture of Life Report for September 2013
September 25 marks the beginning of the fall 40 Days for Life campaign. This is an opportunity for us to join together with folks from across the country in prayer, fasting, and witnessing in the fight to bring an end to abortion.
Bishop Soto will celebrate the 40 Days for Life Opening Mass on Monday, September 23, at 6:00 pm at St.
Philomene Parish, 2428 Bell Street. The Holy Rosary will be prayed at 5:30 pm, immediately before the mass.
The daily vigil will be held on the sidewalk in front of Women’s Health Specialists, the abortion business that has moved from its Wright Street location to 1442 Ethan Way, at the corner of Hallmark Drive. We are asking you to sign up to participate during this important period of spiritual battle to save the innocent unborn.
For more information on how to be involved in this campaign, contact pro-life director Alex Kachmar, or visit http://40daysforlife.com/sacramento
What If?
If you knew that today was the last chance you would ever have to buy life insurance, how much would you buy?
If you had a money-making machine, that once broken could never be repaired, how much would you insure it for?
If you knew that today was the last time you would have the opportunity to guarantee your family an income if something happened to you, how much would you give them?
If you knew that today marked the end of your ability to buy future retirement security, how much would
you buy?
Isn’t it safe to say that you would put some additional dollars into more life insurance protection that could
be used for family or retirement benefits? Chances are that you will be around for a long time, but life is full
of “ifs” and surprises, isn’t it?
Let me help you plan for your family’s protection. Let’s get together as soon as possible .
Brotherly yours,

Council 953 Welcomes New Chaplain
Welcome to our new Chaplin for Council 953, Fr. Brendan McAnerney, O.P. Fr. Brendan is a Dominican priest ordained in the Latin Rite, with faculties granted by His Holiness John Paul II to serve as a Melkite-Greek Catholic priest.
He has been serving at St. George parish since 1999 and became a resident priest in 2001 while directing DominICON, a “Ministry to Enhance Appreciation of Holy Icons and the Traditions of the Eastern Churches.” He was appointed Pastor in 2011 by the Most Reverend Nicholas J. Samra, Bishop of Newton.
Don’t Wait, Act Today
When your family is hungry, you see that this need is taken care of quickly. You don’t put it off
until tomorrow; you act immediately to the best of your ability. As a provider to your wife and
children, your responsibilities are great and your time is spread thin. It is easy to forget
important tasks or let them slip to the back burner for later.
Every day, including your health, can change in the blink of an eye. Don’t do it tomorrow what
you can do today. As your professional Knights of Columbus agent, I urge you to make securing life insurance
for you and your family a top priority.
It is my fraternal obligation to make sure that every member has the opportunity to protect his family with the
Order’s top-rated insurance products. I will work with you and put a plan in place that will help your family
when that help is what they needed the most.
Your K of C insurance program is second to none. As the premier safety net for Catholic families for more than
130 years, our insurance program makes me proud. I’m very concerned that too many of our brother knights
have not yet looked into the needs of their families. I think for many of them, life insurance has drifted to the
back burner until to-morrow. Don’t be one of them. Move your insurance needs to the forefront today.
Let’s get together as soon as possible.
Brotherly yours,
Justin Tanjuaquio, FICF
