Welcome
to the Knights of Columbus, Nevada State Council
Sign the Fight
FOCA Petition
a way to
notify our representatives to stop FOCA
The
incoming President has made a promise to
Planned Parenthood last year they expect him to keep.
"The
first thing I’d do as President is sign the
Freedom of Choice Act. That’s the first thing
I’d do." --
Senator Barack Obama, speaking to the Planned
Parenthood Action Fund, July 17, 2007
The Freedom of Choice
Act (FOCA) would eliminate every restriction on abortion
nationwide.
FOCA
will do away with state laws on parental
involvement, on partial birth abortion, and on
all other protections.
FOCA
will compel taxpayer funding of abortions.
FOCA
will force faith-based hospitals and healthcare
facilities to perform abortions.
The time to Fight FOCA
is now. We can expect a fight over FOCA to
begin as soon as the next Congress begins.
Please add your name to the Fight FOCA
petition and let your friends know about
President-Elect's promise to expand abortion throughout
the country.

Statement
on Financial Services Markets and the Knights of Columbus
 The
upheaval in the financial markets in recent days has
caused a great deal of concern virtually everywhere,
among financial services professionals, regulators and
consumers alike. Every major financial institution has
been affected by the turmoil because of the complexity of
our economy, and we are no exception. But I can report to
you that there is no reason to be concerned about the
value of your Knights of Columbus annuity or life
insurance. Because of the very conservative approach we
take to investing our $14 billion in assets, the impact
on the Knights of Columbus has been far smaller than for
many other organizations and the industry as a whole. more @

Diocese of Las Vegas
At Fatima Our Lady made the following
personal promises to those who, on five
consecutive First Saturdays, will confess their sins,
receive Holy Communion, say the Rosary and spend
fifteen minutes with Her in meditation upon the
mysteries of the Rosary, in reparation for the
offenses committed against Her Immaculate Heart:
"I will assist (be present) at the hour of your
death with all the grace necessary for
salvation..."
First Saturday Mass
Held the first Saturday monthly at St.

Fallon, & Reno
Council
4828 in Fallon
sponsors Living Rosary Prayer Services on the 1st
Saturdays of each month at 9:00 a.m. and on the 3rd
Wednesdays of each month, typically at 7:00 p.m., just
before their regular business meeting. Everyone is
invited.
If
you live closer to Reno, or are going to be in
the Reno area, then please plan to attend the Living
Rosary services that are typically held over there at the
same time (across from the abortion center near
Meadowood Mall.) It doesn't matter where
you attend these services, the most important thing is
that we get as many people as possible to join in prayer
for an end to abortion and for the protection of life at
all stages, so please help spread the word about both the
Reno and Fallon services to all of our fellow Br.
Knights and to our fellow parishioners.

Our
Commitment to You
by Supreme Knight Carl A.
Anderson
- 9/7/2007
We do not invest in high-risk vehicles such
as derivatives and junk bonds, nor do we invest in the
types of structured transactions that are currently
causing such turmoil in the markets. We stay away from
them not because we don't understand them - but because
we do understand them - and the risk they entail.
