In thinking about the article for the Compass I was considering the Pope’s visit, the Synod of Bishops, and the “Year of the Family”. The question I have is: What is the Knights of Columbus and specifically the Trinity Council’s role in this new imper-ative coming from the Vatican? In today’s society especially in the developed world, the focus is on the individual reinforced by technology and social media. But, Pope Francis says that the focus needs to be on the family and that the connection between church and family is “indissoluble”. Par-ents and grandparents need prayers for fami-lies and children to give them wisdom, hope, faith, and encouragement. Families teach us needed values and how we relate to society as a whole. Jesus told his disciples to be “fishers of men” but we really need to be fishers of families. That is an important key to make not only the Church grow but the Knights of Columbus grow as well. Pope Francis is praying that the Synod of Bishops abandon the old nets and build new ones not for restriction but to free people from indif-ference. Family ties, the Pope said, teach individuals and society the value of "bonds of fidelity, sincerity, trust, cooperation, re-spect; they encourage people to work toward a world that is livable and to believe in rela-tionships even in difficult situations; they teach people to honor their word." Family is a core value of the Knights of Columbus. The Knights of Columbus was founded to help families. The insur-ance/benefits program exists to support fam-ilies. We have family awards. We support

Grand Knight’s Message families though our Culture of Life pro-grams and have had fund raisers for fami-lies in need. Throughout the world the Knights of Columbus support programs that benefit and spiritually enrich families. By focusing on the family, our membership grows. As members of the Knights of Co-lumbus and Ladies Auxiliary we not only support the Catholic Church (capital ‘C’) but also the ‘catholic’ church (little ‘c’) by reaching out to everyone and everywhere. Our “Coats for Kids” program is an excel-lent example of our ‘catholic’ diversity. With the family in mind our Coun-cil has a busy fall. The Religious Apprecia-tion dinner is a major event which not only honors our clergy but gives them an oppor-tunity to socialize with each other. Other family centered events are the Deceased Members Mass on November 1st, the Poin-settia Delivery, Keep Christ in Christmas, and the Christmas party for the Finger Lakes Developmental Disabilities Organi-zation which allows us to extend our family to the mentally and physically challenged. I also have a hearty thank you to all who continue to help and those who have stepped up to support our council. It makes the job of Grand Knight easier knowing that our membership does a great job in making all of our events and initiatives run smooth-ly. If I had to run it, it would be chaos! You can define family in a lot of different ways. Our council “family” is a strong ex-ample of our values of charity, unity, frater-nity, and patriotism. Vivat Jesus Steve Tedesco

SAGA OF A PHILLY PILGRIM By Joseph Janiak

[Editor’s Note: Trinity Council Brother Knight Joe Janiak and his wife Pat make the grueling trip to Philadelphia for Pope Francis’ visit. At the request of the Compass Joe graciously filed this report hours after his return.]

Our trip to Philadelphia to see Pope Francis started about 9:00 a.m. Friday morning, September 25. We departed from Irondequoit on a Covered Wagon motor coach bus with 45 others lead by Sister Bernade Entress, a Mercy Sister. Sister Bernarde was a won-derful guide and did a great job planning and organiz-ing the pilgrimage. The bus made it as far as Bing-hamton before overheating. After changing buses we arrived in Allentown, PA. that evening for an overnight stay at a Holiday Inn..

Bright and early Saturday morning we motor coached into Philadelphia. We traveled on Interstate 76. The highway was completely shut down near Phil-adelphia except for bus traffic. We were the only ones on the road. It felt very strange, as this is a major road into Philadelphia. We parked at the Philadelphia Sports complex. Later, several hundred buses would fill its parking lot. We then took a ten minute ride on the SEPTA subway train into the center of the city.

All the streets in the center of the city were closed to regular traffic. Only police, dignitary buses, and ambulances were allowed. We proceeded on foot to a security checkpoint. Security was much more stringent than at our local airport. They had checked each bag by hand. Bags were limited to a small size. Bomb-sniffing dogs checked people’s folding chairs - and us. Metal detectors along with hand metal detect-ing wands were also used. We were lucky; going through the security checkpoint took us only about an hour. I heard that people arriving later that day waited three hours.

Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in obtain-ing special tickets to the Pope’s speech or the Mass the following day on Benjamin Franklin Parkway. They were gone online in about two minutes. We heard 10,000 tickets were available but we suspected they went to the local Philadelphia parishes. Sister Bernarde

even called Bishop Salvatore Matano personally with no luck. The Bishop had some tickets to the New York Papal events but not Philadelphia.

We positioned our group near City Hall about noon on Saturday. There were numerous food vendors and portable toilet facilities to handle the large crowds. Due to our early arrival we were able to stand in the second row from the barricades. Pope Francis was sup-posed to parade by around 4 p.m. after his speech at In-dependence Hall. We had a great time with the crowd while waiting, singing, and talking to others from the United States and all over the world while we waited for the Pope. There was a very large crowd from South America singing songs and dancing in the street.

Finally, around 7:15p.m. His Holiness drove

by. People started cheering like crazy. Everyone tried to get pictures on their cell phones and cameras as the Pope blessed us as he drove by. A young, kind college girl from our group, Casey Dean from Cortland Col-lege, was able to shoot a video on her cell phone of Pope Francis as he drove by and she emailed it to us. My wife Pat and I were about 15 yards away as he passed by. It was the closest we have ever gotten to a Pope and he was the third Pope we both have seen in person.

Sunday we tried to repeat what we did the day before but security was backed up over three blocks. Several hundred additional motor coaches were arriving from all over the United States for the Pope’s final Mass. The best we could do was position our group in front of a Jumbotron at JFK Blvd. and 16th street outside the security area. The streets were packed with people watching the Mass on the Jumbotrons. Pope Francis’ Mass was beautiful and inspiring.

After Mass it took us about three hours to return

to our motor coach, even with the SEPTA trains running non-stop. The crowds were like New Year’s Eve in Times Square.

We left Philadelphia around 9 p.m. on Sunday and arrived home Monday morning around 3:45 p.m. We were exhausted, but it was worth it. It was a once in a lifetime experience!

Giving Credit Where Credit’s Due

We have reported here from time to time on the fine job Chancellor Dan Scalzo does with Membership. None of that would be possible without the assistance of Trinity Council’s very able Degree Team. Every other month it performs a First Degree and a Second Degree for the benefit of our Council and neighboring councils. That is the only way we can admit new members. Trinity Council’s Degree team is overseen by Joe Brad-bury and consists of: Bradbury, Dave Samuelson, Dave Gilfoy, Vic Serio, Carl Vandewinckel, Dave Stein, PGK, Dave Schaertel, Dave Mc Coy, Rich Brunken, PGK, Joe Aschen-brenner, John Buzzelli, Joe Janiak, Neil McKenna, and Grand Knight Steve Tedesco.

For our Veterans, that we always remember those who have given their lives for our freedom and that we support our troops as they return home. Prayer for our troops: Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. AMEN For our Seminarians, that the Lord gives these men the strength to remain committed to answering God’s call to serve Him and His people in a special way.

Our Council Brethren and family members and who are ill, under treatment or recovering.

Father of goodness & love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our council, their families and friends, and for all those who are in need.

May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and join us in thanking you for all your gifts. With Mary, we ask this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.

President Notes: We had another successful Fash-ion Show! A big thank you to Gale Jones and all those who as-sisted in putting this event togeth-er. It was a great evening. Our recipient this year was HOPE Ministries. The Fashion Show and Craft Sale are our big fundraisers during the year. We know that publicity for these events makes the difference in their success. We are looking for a person/persons who would be willing to handle publicity for these events. This would involve arranging to have announcements in our local papers, local access TV station, and Church bulletins about these events. Also, a note in the Church bulle-tins about our monthly meetings would be a good way to share in-formation about our organization and invite others to join us. Please think about assisting with this role. If you are interested, please con-tact me or any Board member. Thank you in advance for helping with this. In Prayer, Linda

BACK IN THE DAYS BEFORE Joe Kozelsky, PGK

In thinking about our wonder-ful WCC, I recalled an article in the 50th anniversary program by PGK Tom Freundschuh in which he took the reader back through the early days, and how 4618 moved about from place to place conducting its business. It seemed they were pretty helter-skelter days going from here to there, back to here again, and then there again, and now a new place again. In an attempt to get a better handle on those days, I interviewed Bob Hafner, PGK, who is the third-most senior member of our council with 64 years of time in grade. Be-fore I go any further, I need to indi-cate that Bob made reference to many of the other “early timers” giving them proper credit for their contribu-tions. However, a name that stood out as a major contributor in Bob’s recollections, is Stan Billeschi, who played an essential role in pulling things together. But, getting back to Bob; he re-called the primary driver for our building was to get a home for the Bingo games. Here are some of the places we held our Bingo games in the long past: Willow Point Park off Bay Road – now torn down, Holy Trinity Gymnasium, the basement of the Harmony House – which was then the Elks Club Building - eventually holding the games on two floors there as popularity grew (How awkward was that?). Ultimately, the council rented the entire second floor of Schaeffer-Ross Building where the council and games remained for 10 years or so. 4618 totally rehabilitated the top floor of the building making it our home for that period. This in-cluded putting in a kitchen, complete with the freezer and all the necessary equipment, our bar, and even some of

our current day kitchen and bar equip-ment and furnishings. (Thanks to go Stan for his guidance and assistance with this part of the project.) Parking was always a problem at the Bingo games even at the Schaeffer-Ross Building. In addition to the inconveniences mentioned above, Bob recalls that one of the driving forces for our own facili-ty was that in our earliest days, our council served three parishes – Holy Trinity, St. Rita’s and St. Mary of the Lake. Typically, each parish has its own council and council functions are held there on parish premises. Howev-er, since 4618 served multiple parish-es, the Council really didn’t have a home parish of its own, and our ability to hold meetings or functions at the parishes naturally were subordinate to the demands of the parishes. Small meetings were held at the homes of the various officers or the various committee members, and any place that could be found to be availa-ble. Most of our other events were held at St. Rita’s Barn, with Easter Egg hunts being held at both St. Rita’s and Holy Trinity. Our Deceased Members Mass was traditionally held at Holy Trinity. Communion Breakfasts (and probably other functions) were held in Ontario at St. Mary. So, the end result was we were all over the place, con-stantly hoping to find a location for our activities. (One can only imagine how stressful it was to schedule a place for a special function.) The necessity for our own home and the resulting de-grees of freedom needed by a large active council was readily apparent. During this period our building was dreamed of, then the site acquired and eventually the building was construct-ed. Thank you Bob. A very enlight-ening interview. How fortunate we are to have such a fine building at our dis-

WCC Work Day Report

On Saturday, October 10, 2015 a small but skilled and star-studded crew painted the foyer of the Webster Columbus Center. The Mike Donovan-led crew consisted of Bob Leschhorn, Mike Mosher, Dan Scalzo, Phil Rohnke, PGK and Dick Jester. While this was going on WCC Manager Dave Uerz beautified the Hall’s floor. See for yourself the fabulous job they did the next time you visit.

It’s a Wonderful Life Believe it or not, the holiday season is upon us. A popular movie, shown often this time of year, is “It’s a Wonderful Life.” In it the lead character, in a moment of desperation, proclaims that “it would have been better if I had never been born.” His “guardian angel” then gives him the opportunity to see how much different the lives of his friends and family would have been had he, in fact, never been born. None of us will have that opportunity. But, like George Bailey, we do have a positive impact on the lives of our friends, our families, and those in our communities. We do this through our membership in the Knights of Columbus, by volunteering in our Churches and communities and, not insignificantly, by making sure we have enough life insurance. Life insurance will allow your family to remain in their home, and maintain their lifestyle, if something should happen to you. It will guarantee a college education for your children, or even your grandchildren. It will ensure a comfortable retirement for you and your wife. It can even help your favorite charity to continue its hu-manitarian work. No doubt about it – being an insured member of the Knights of Columbus helps make this a “wonderful life.” Please give me a call.

Agent for Trinity Council No. 4618 Stephen Marone O 585-319-3270 C 585-330-1683 email: Stephen.Marone@KofC.org

Over the past 3 years, Trinity Council has raised enough money to purchase 312 coats for distribution to children of need in our own community. A few of those organizations we have helped have been Trinity House of Hope Webster, St. Martin's Place Rochester, House of Mercy Rochester, St. Michael’s Church Rochester, Focus Pregnancy Group of Rochester , Wayne Central School District, Webster Central School Dis-trict, Villa of Hope Greece, St. Mary’s Church Ontario, & St. Peter’s Soup Kitchen Rochester.

Each new coat costs $18.35, so if you weren’t at the September meeting, we will again be accepting your donations at the next meeting on so that we might be able provide a new warm winter coat to a child in our own community. If you prefer to make a tax deductible donation by writing a check, please make payable to TRINITY COUNCIL #4618 and turn it in at the meeting, or send it to: “Coats for Kids” c/o J. Stewart Coon, Chairman 230 Champion Ave. Webster, New York 14580 Thank You & May God Bless You for your support. J. Stewart Coon, Chairman, “Coats for Kids”
