XIII. OLD BUSINESS
1. Budget – The proposed budget was submitted at the last business meeting in June and revisions were made.
The adjusted budget was emailed out to members last night.
There are a couple of minor changes in the document distributed tonight.
The clergy appreciation account has been reduced to $1,700 from $2,000.
Each priest and the deacon would receive $300, up $50 from this past fraternal year. The pastor continues to receive
$500.
And the amount allocated to Manor Care Bingo is $300 instead of $200. We have donated $300 for bingo prizes this past
year.
The estimated operating deficit is reduced to $287 with those changes.
Jesus Cota had a question on why we are giving $500 each to several youth groups. It totals more than $3,000.
Bill Cormier said we have given these groups this amount of money in the past. Challenge and Conquest use the money
for summer camp. It increased when they started participating in Lenten meals.
Former Grand Knight Brian Tumulty said that he asked these six youth groups to serve the six Lenten meals two years ago
and they did it again earlier this year. Two years ago, they received over $700 each and this year they each received $530.
Jesus Cota asked why so much. There are other groups we could give to.
Brian said the Knights at the national level have asked councils to focus on parish activities.
Mark Z. said the new donation amount will be $500, which is less than it was the last two years. He is willing to work on
fundraising dinners for any group that wants to raise money.
District Deputy Ruper Harmon said that the nearby Family of Man Council identifies a group to donate to for each parish
breakfast and will receive $2,000 in contributions.
Jesus Cota said next year we should identify other organizations to donate money to.
Financial Secretary Bill Cormier said we have money in our accounts that we can donate to worthy causes.
Bruce Jacobeen said that many of the children who participate in the Challenge and Conquest youth groups come from
large families and are home-schooled.
Dennis Stone made a motion to approve the budget as amended in the document distributed to Brother Knights attending
the meeting.
Brian Tumulty seconded the motion.
The vote was unanimous.

According to the Knights national website, “The mission of Cor is to refocus Catholic men on Jesus Christ and to form and
strengthen them in faith and virtue through a brotherhood committed to prayer, formation, and fraternity. The goal of
each Cor gathering is to provide the opportunity for men to encounter Christ, to pray together, to be formed in their faith,
and to strengthen their bonds of brotherhood, preparing them for courageous leadership and the mission of
evangelization for their families and communities.”
Tom Yehl said that COR is designed for any man in the parish and should be open to anybody.

XI. REPORT OF AUDITORS AND TRUSTEES
1. Saturday Audit – Semiannual audit.
XII. CHANCELLOR’S REPORT ON VOCATIONS
1. Vocations – Only 6 new seminarians this year; transferring in? Unknown; announcements soon. Bishop holding the mass
for new seminarian candidates. 9 new priests were ordained this year; only 2 for the upcoming year; about 12 or 11 (probably)
for the year after that.

XIII. REPORT OF SERVICE PROGRAM COMMITTEES
1. Christmas Trees – Seeking surplus for our stock; question about 245 or 260 trees being requested. 282-230-245-165 (last
4-5 years #s.) Issues with running out total and/or types of trees. Consensus on ordering 260; better to have extras and
consistency than the inverse. Can always process extras as firewood; can also give to place(s) which will utilize them as
bedding.
XIV. OLD BUSINESS
1. Report on Membership – Another Email Blast: Only 67 unpaid left; 3 said they no longer want to be Knights. 15 of them owe
back pay. Ronald La Marche passed away on May 15th, 2022; was still paying his dues despite living in Wisconsin.

Walter has transferred councils; now in New Jersey. Bill will ask Ted to track down more people.
XV. NEW BUSINESS

Motion: To donate $300 from Account 7049 which has $1,000 for Donation Requests to the Fellowship of Catholic
University Students in support of parishioner Mary Yee at Mount St Mary’s College who is serving as FOCUS
representative.
Moved by: Brian Tumulty / Seconded by: Mark Z.
The motion was tabled.
1. Mary Yee –

Mary received $250 from our council last year.
In a recent email, she wrote:
“I just completed my first year of mission with FOCUS at Mount St. Mary’s. My first year was very fruitful and I couldn’t
have gone out on a mission if it weren’t for the Knights of Columbus! By walking closely with my students over this past
year, the Lord has been able to use me to bring the light of Christ to others, and to bring freedom and joy to them that
they never knew was possible. I’m grateful to be on a mission and point my students towards Christ, and also help them
build a life, not just for a while but for a lifetime, of service, love, and devotion to the Lord!”
The donation would not go directly to her.
The check would be sent to FOCUS, and then on the memo line you can write her name as well as her missionary ID #
which is: 47095.
You can mail it directly to FOCUS headquarters at:
FOCUS
PO Box 17408
Denver, CO 80217
2. Ice Cream Sunday – Back to school night BBQ this upcoming Monday; being asked to loan moon-bounce to event. Should
be cleaned; has not been used since pre-pandemic. Should we do an Ice Cream Social in conjunction? Bill indicates staying out other than moon-bounce. Brian indicates that in years past, we provided a grill (but not a griller) to the event. Should stay out of
event collaboration. Resolved by Antony that we will provide moon-bounce after cleaning.
3. Knight in Need – 1 or 2 knights helping clean out the home of a Knight in distress.

August 1, 2023 | 3
4. Father McGivney Mass – Cannot do on date and time planned; questions about the location and time. Antony will
investigate history and options. Must acquire priest. Ask Father Hayes about availability. Brian points out not set in stone
about doing exactly on feast day. Special Intention (Mass) should be asked for more than 6 months ahead; scheduled out
ahead of time. Question about timeslots; Antony resolves to contact Chaplin about the issue. Brian notes about the Deceased Members mass in November.
5. Jewels Missing/Damaged – Chaplin missing; Recorder needs replacement/fixing. Fix ribbon/clean jewels instead of
buying new ones where possible.
6. Avoiding Controversy: Custom Banner – Replace the older name with “St. Timothy Council” on the banner? 2 years back, got
a new tablecloth rather than replacing the banner. Can obfuscate old names in photos with positioning. Banner replacement
deferred. Council Flag MIA; needs replacement. The American Flag needs mending and repairs. Antony will seek resolution to
issues.
7. New Grill? – Antony needs to investigate getting a new grill. Been borrowing Father Meng’s grill; Jason said Charcoal Grill
over 900 dollars because of over $300 for shipping. Mark insists on the same/similar grill as we have; charcoal, industrial,
wheeled. Jason hunting for sale; appears that online is still cheaper than in-person, as they cost over 1000 dollars because
they are made of stainless steel. Dennis suggests a stopgap of putting sheet metal on the bottom of the grill; Jason says to use old Christmas tree signs.
XVI. DISTRICT DEPUTY’S REPORT
1. Report – Summarized: Good to be a Knight, prep for the supreme convention (August 1st). All things have a time. VA appears
to be doing well; keep it up. Many opportunities for Fraternal Knights.

XVII. GOOD OF THE ORDER
The Grand Knight asked if any brother present knew of a member of the council, or an unassisted brother of the Order, sick or in
distress. The following names were put forward and the council joined in a prayer for their well-being:
