Grand Knight’s Message
WGK Martin Perez
My dear Brothers:
Let me begin by stating how
humbled and honored I am to
have been selected to serve
our St. Bernadette Council as
Grand Knight for Columbian
year 2019-2020. I look
forward to building upon our
past successes as we work
together to serve and grow
with our parish community.
We all have many
opportunities to make a
difference in our parish
community by engaging and
supporting our Faith in Action
programs. I would strongly
encourage each knight to take
an active role in one of the
programs (Faith, Family,
Community and Life) for
which you have a passion.
Each of you brings unique
skills and experiences, which
make a positive contribution
to our community. There are
many ways to contribute, so
please consider volunteering
to be a Program chairman,
Director, or an active
participant. I can speak from experience when I say that
you truly get back more than you contribute. It should
be a goal of each member to attend a minimum of one
meeting per quarter (all would be great) and to
participate in at least one program this year. Proudly
wear your badge to mass each week.
While the Knights of Columbus do some fundraising,
we are first and foremost a Catholic service organization
that Pope St. John Paul II referred to famously as “the
strong right arm of the Church.” Our members and their
families are active in numerous liturgical ministries and
other groups within the St. Bernadette community. It
should be our goal to have every man in our Parish
community become a member of the Knights of
Columbus. We owe it to them to explain the benefits
and joy they are missing out on by not becoming a
member of our wonderful Council. I would ask each of
you to make an effort to recruit a Catholic gentleman to
join our great organization.
We recently embarked upon a journey to revamp our
Knights of Columbus communication vehicles. We are
finishing work on a new website, which will be easier to
use and will better reflect the many activities in which
we are engaged. We hope that it will attract new
members and provide them with a vehicle to educate
themselves about our council and its many programs. It
will be a multiphase rollout, which will add capabilities
we have not been able to add in the past. The first

Saint of the Month St. Gertrude the Great
(1256 AD – 1302 AD) Saint Gertrude’s Story
Gertrude, a Benedictine nun in Helfta, Saxony, was one of the great mystics of the 13th century. Together with her friend and teacher St. Mechtild, she practiced a spirituality called "nuptial mysticism," that is, she came to see herself as the bride of Christ. Her spiritual life was a deeply personal union with Jesus and his Sacred Heart, leading her into the very life of the Trinity. She was raised in the Cistercian abbey of Helfta from age five. She was known to be very intelligent and gentle in nature. When she became too fond of her studies in philosophy, she received a vision of Christ which converted her to study the bible and the works of the Church Fathers. Her writings were greatly praised by St. Teresa and St. Francis de Sales and continue to be read today. St. Gertrude had a special devotion to the Sacred Heart and encouraged others in this practice.
But this was no individualistic piety. Gertrude lived the rhythm of the liturgy, where she found Christ. In the liturgy and in Scripture, she found the themes and images to enrich and express her piety. There was no clash between her personal prayer life and the liturgy.
Comment: Gertrude's life is another reminder that the heart of the Christian life is prayer: private and liturgical, ordinary or mystical, always personal.
Quote: "Lord, you have granted me your secret friendship by opening the sacred ark of your divinity, your deified heart, to me in so many ways as to be the source of all my happiness; sometimes imparting it freely, sometimes as a special mark of our mutual friendship. You have so often melted my soul with your loving caresses that, if I did not know the abyss of your overflowing condescension, I should be amazed were I told that even your Blessed Mother had been chosen to receive such extraordinary marks of tenderness and affection" (Adapted from The Life and Revelations of Saint Gertrude).
St. Gertrude the Great, ora pro nobis!

Food for the Poor Project Hello, and good week to all our volunteers,
I want to thank all our volunteers for spreading love through their thoughts and prayers and
action in the works that they take each time they volunteer. Action is way of reaching out in love to help, support, and encourage the homeless at St Vincent De Paul Becker House. St Mother Theresa advised others ''Spread love wherever you go; let no one ever come to you without being happier.'' Thank you all for spreading your love to our homeless brothers and sisters. We are an example of prayer in action as we reach to others in love. Have a good week everyone.

Henry Hyde died in 2007. But his legacy lives on. Some estimates suggest his simple amendment has saved two million children from abortion. Hyde’s most famous quotation has also endured. "When the time comes as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment, the final judgment, I've often thought, as Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no advocates, you are there alone standing before God and a terror will rip through your soul like nothing you can imagine. "But I really think that those in the pro-life movement will not be alone. I think there will be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world and they will plead for everyone who has been in this movement. "They will say to God, ‘Spare him because he loved us,’ and God will look at you and say not, ‘Did you succeed?’ but ‘Did you try?’”
Note: The Hyde Amendment was supported by Congress on
the June21, 2019 vote.

Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois.
SPRINGFIELD, Illinois, June 6, 2019
(LifeSiteNews) ― The bishop of Springfield in Illinois has barred pro-abortion legislators from receiving the sacrament of Holy Communion.
Bishop Thomas John Paprocki has ruled that state legislators who are working to pass Illinois’ new abortion bill may not present themselves for communion in his diocese and that priests are expressly forbidden from giving the Eucharist to both the Senate president and the speaker of the House.
“In accord with canon 915 of the Code of Canon Law … Illinois Senate President John Cullerton and Speaker of the House Michael J. Madigan, who facilitated the passage of the Act Concerning Abortion of 2017 (House Bill 40) as well as the Reproductive Health Act of 2019 (Senate Bill 25), are not to be admitted to Holy Communion in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois because they have obstinately persisted in promoting the abominable crime and very grave sin of abortion as evidenced by the influence they exerted in their leadership roles and their repeated votes and obdurate public support for abortion rights over an extended period of time,” Paprocki wrote in a statement dated June 2, 2019. of the House.
“These persons may be readmitted to Holy
Communion only after they have truly repented
these grave sins and furthermore have made
suitable reparation for damages and scandal, or at
least have seriously promised to do so, as
determined in my judgment or in the judgment of
their diocesan bishop in consultation with me or
my successor,” he continued.
Although they are not named, Paprocki included
other pro-abortion state politicians in his interdict,
saying, “I declare that Catholic legislators of the
Illinois General Assembly who have cooperated in
evil and committed grave sin by voting for any
legislation that promotes abortion are not to
present themselves to receive Holy Communion
without first being reconciled to Christ and the
Church in accord with canon 916 of the Code of
Canon Law.”
Last Friday, the Illinois legislature sent Senate Bill
25, known as the Reproductive Health Act, to the
governor for approval. Blatantly pro-abortion,
Senate Bill 25 seeks to protect the “fundamental
rights of individuals to make autonomous decisions
about one’s own reproductive health.” It passed in
the Senate by a 34-20 vote.
Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker has vowed to sign the
bill, which asserts that the “fertilized egg, embryo,
or fetus does not have independent rights.” The
new law will go into effect immediately upon
signature.
According to the Thomas More Society, the new Illinois Reproductive Health Act will allow abortions for any reason throughout all nine months of pregnancy; eliminate restrictions regarding where abortions may be performed; allow non-physicians to perform abortions; undermine and threaten institutional and individual rights of conscience; jeopardize any meaningful regulation of abortion facilities; require private health insurance policies to include coverage for all abortions, with no exemptions, even for churches and other religious organizations; eliminate any requirement to investigate fetal deaths or maternal deaths resulting from abortion; repeal a law prohibiting “kickbacks” for abortion referrals; repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995, which has been responsible for a more than 55-percent reduction in abortions among Illinois
Volume 5 Issue 1 Le Chevalier July 2019 p.10
St. Bernadette Council 12164 480-905-0221
minors since 2012; and force parents to pay for their minor children’s abortions.
Paprocki issued a press release on May 28 in which he asserted that the proposed legislation is evil.
“I condemn the gravely immoral action of the Illinois House of Representatives in passing Senate Bill 25, labeled with a highly misleading title as the ‘Reproductive Health Act,’ purporting to declare abortion a fundamental right,” he wrote.
The bishop released a subsequent press release, dated June 6, justifying his decision:
The Eucharist is the most sacred aspect of our Catholic faith. As sacred Scripture warns, “Whoever eats unworthily of the bread and drinks from the Lord’s cup makes himself guilty of profaning the body and of the blood of the Lord.” To support legislation that treats babies in the womb like property, allowing for their destruction for any reason at any time, is evil. It’s my hope and prayer these lawmakers reconcile themselves to the Church so they can receive Communion.
Paprocki, himself a canon lawyer, consulted with other canon lawyers throughout North America before issuing his decree, according to the June 6 press release.
“In issuing this decree, I anticipate that some will point out the Church’s own failings with regard to the abuse of children,” Paprocki said. “The same justifiable anger we feel toward the abuse of innocent children, however, should prompt an outcry of resistance against legalizing the murder of innocent children.”
In 2018, Bishop Paprocki barred Illinois senator
Dick Durbin from Holy Communion because of
Durbin’s vote against legislation that would have
protected children from abortion after 20 weeks
gestation.

Illinois Governor J.B.
Pritzker Signs Bill
Legalizing Abortions Up
to Birth STATE MICAIAH BILGER JUN 12, 2019
As the mainstream news media focuses on
condemning pro-life efforts in Alabama, Georgia
and Missouri, Democratic leaders in other states are
quietly pushing through radical pro-abortion bills
that expand the legalized killing of unborn babies.
On Wednesday, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a
law allowing abortions for any reason up to birth
and forcing every state insurance plan to cover
them. He follows the governor of Vermont, who
made his state the latest to legalize abortions up to
birth when he signed its radical bill yesterday.
Pritzker has bragged that the law will make Illinois
the most “progressive” state on abortion, WGN-TV
News 9 reports.
The law, which state lawmakers quickly rammed
through over Memorial Day weekend, would
legalize abortions for any reason up to birth in
Illinois. It would erase criminal penalties for
Volume 5 Issue 1 Le Chevalier July 2019 p.11
St. Bernadette Council 12164 480-905-0221
performing abortions and allow non-doctors to do
them. The legislation also would repeal the partial-
birth abortion ban, abortion clinic regulations and
conscience protections for medical workers.
Additionally, it would force all health insurance
plans to cover abortions, with no exceptions for
religious or moral objections.

birth abortion ban, abortion clinic regulations and
conscience protections for medical workers.
Additionally, it would force all health insurance
plans to cover abortions, with no exceptions for

The legislation prompted massive protests earlier
this year. In March, so many pro-life advocates
filled the state capitol to rally against the bill that
police had to close the building due to
overcrowding. Afterward, lawmakers did not move
the bill forward for months.
But over Memorial Day weekend, pro-lifers learned
that pro-abortion Democrats planned to push
through the bill before the end of the legislative
session. Late on May 31, they passed it and sent it
to the governor for final approval.
The Thomas More Society described the bill as “the
most radical piece of abortion legislation that has
ever been introduced in Illinois.” It would create a
“fundamental right” to abortion and prevent the
state from interfering in any way with the killing of
unborn babies. In addition, it would require every
health insurance plan to cover abortions, including
late-term abortions, without any exemptions for
people with religious or moral objections.
“While a growing number of states are working to
advance popular pro-life laws, Illinois is trying to
outdo New York’s abortion extremism – and
unborn children and their mothers will pay the
price,” said SBA List’s National Campaign Chair
Jill Stanek, an Illinois native, a former nurse who
witnessed babies being born alive and left to die in
Chicago.
Stanek told LifeNews: “The bill Illinois lawmakers
passed is so radical, they even went out of their way
to repeal the state’s ban on barbaric partial-birth
abortions. Americans of every political persuasion
are appalled by these attempts to expand abortion
on demand through the moment of birth and even
infanticide, and that in turn is driving pro-life
momentum around the country. There is no pride or
glory in being the most extreme pro-abortion state
in the nation.”

Last week, Catholic Bishop Thomas Paprocki of
Springfield instructed priests in his diocese to refuse
communion to politicians who voted for the bill
until they confess and repent.
But Illinois is not alone. Earlier this week, Vermont
Gov. Phil Scott signed a similar law allowing
abortions for basically any reason up to birth in his
state, and Maine Gov. Janet Mills signed a law
allowing nurses to abort unborn babies. In January,
New York lawmakers prompted national outrage
after they passed a bill removing basically all
restrictions on abortion in their state.
Polls indicate that most Americans oppose such
laws. According to a national poll by Marist
University, three in four Americans (75 percent) say
abortion should be limited to – at most – the first
three months of pregnancy. This includes most
Republicans (92 percent), Independents (78 percent)
and a majority of Democrats (60 percent). It also
includes more than six in 10 (61 percent) who
identify as “pro-choice” on abortion.
A May 2018 Gallup poll found that 53 percent of
Americans oppose all or most abortions.

President Trump Cancels $2 Million Contract to Purchase Body Parts of Aborted Babies for Research NATIONAL STEVEN
ERTELT
President Donald Trump has canceled another
contract to purchase the body parts of aborted
babies for research.
The Trump administration has heard the concerns of
pro-life organizations and pro-life Americans upset
by the news that the FDA and NIH had purchased
the body parts of aborted babies for research and
this is the second time a federal contract has been
scrubbed.
Details uncovered by CNS News in 2018 shed light
on an NIH contract with University of California
San Francisco, which provides money for fetal body
parts to conduct experiments involving “humanized
mice.”
Aborted baby body parts used in the experiments
were taken from healthy, potentially viable unborn
babies. According to the report, the aborted babies
were 18 to 24 weeks gestation from “women with
normal pregnancies before elective termination for
Volume 5 Issue 1 Le Chevalier July 2019 p.13
St. Bernadette Council 12164 480-905-0221
non-medical reasons.” Another article indicated
aborted babies’ livers and thymuses also were used.
They were between 20 weeks and 24 weeks
gestation.
But the Daily Caller reports today that President
Trump has cancelled the contract:
President Donald Trump is canceling a contract that
provides government funding to the University of
California, San Francisco for research that issues
fetal tissue harvested from elective abortions.
The Trump administration first focused its sights on
the contract this past September, with the National
Institute of Health (NIH) warning UCSF that its $2
million annual contract for fetal tissue research
would be curtailed to 90 days and possibly canceled
altogether.
Senior administration officials told The Daily Caller
that the contract will be officially terminated
Wednesday.
The cancelation stems from a 9-month U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
review of all research involving fetal tissue from
elective abortions that found serious issues with
UCSF’s research, including a lack of consent forms.
HHS will also install ethics boards overseeing all
extramural research involving fetal tissue.
An official explained to the Caller that the move is
part of “a consistent charge to take a pro-life
perspective on all policies.”
The official argued that scientists have been
claiming for 26 years that fetal tissue research
would lead to significant medical breakthroughs,
and yet “there have been exactly zero miracle
cures.”
Leading pro-life groups were delighted by the news.
Dr. David Prentice, vice president and research
director at Charlotte Lozier Institute, told LifeNews
“Today’s move demonstrates NIH’s investment in
scientifically-proven methods for research: adult
stem cells, iPS cells, organoids, humanized mice
constructed using postnatally sourced cells and
improved non-human cell lines—just to name a
few. All of these have been used in the production
of treatments, vaccines and medicines currently on
the market; the key is that our government will now
invest in effective research methods that do not rely
on the destruction of human life.”
Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie, Policy Advisor for The
Catholic Association, added, “Experimentation
using the liver, lungs, hearts, skulls or any other
body part of an aborted baby is morally corrupt.
Taxpayers have been forced to fund inhumane
procedures conducted by corporations looking to
make a buck. President Trump made the moral and
ethical call to end taxpayer funding of this
gruesome experimentation.”
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins
told LifeNews: “This is yet another step by the
Trump administration in the march to restore the
sanctity of all human life in America. This decision
is one based upon the desire of this administration
to use taxpayer dollars in the pursuit of science that
is both ethical and effective.”
“The fact is aborted fetal tissue hasn’t been used to
create the cure of a single disease. However, tax
dollars have been contributing to an industry that
fosters the trafficking of body parts from aborted
babies. There is absolutely no reason to use these
grisly remains when ethical and effective
Volume 5 Issue 1 Le Chevalier July 2019 p.14
St. Bernadette Council 12164 480-905-0221
alternatives exist including human umbilical cord
blood stem cells and adult peripheral blood stem
cells,” he said.
“This is a major pro-life victory and we thank
President Trump for taking decisive action. It is
outrageous and disgusting that we have been
complicit, through our taxpayer dollars, in the
experimentation using baby body parts. NIH has
spent $120 million a year on grisly, unethical
experiments involving the hearts, livers, bones, and
brains harvested from babies too young and
vulnerable to speak for themselves,” said SBA List
President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “President Trump
knows we can do better as a nation and we are
encouraged to see NIH Director Francis Collins
carry out the President’s pro-life commitment.
Taxpayer funding is better spent promoting
alternatives that are already being used in the
production of treatments, vaccines and medicines
and to expand approaches that do not depend on the
destruction of unborn children often through late-
term abortion.”
This is the second time the Trump administration
has cancelled a contract to purchase aborted baby
parts.
Last August, shocking revelations indicated the
Food and Drug Administration signed a new
contract to acquire body parts from aborted babies
to be transplanted into so-called humanized mice.
The grisly experiments allow mice to have a
functioning human immune system for research
purposes.
By September, the Trump administration had
canceled the contract with Advanced Bioscience
Resources, a company that buys and sells aborted
baby parts from Planned Parenthood and other
abortion businesses.
When Planned Parenthood was exposed selling
aborted baby parts for such research, videos
recorded a conversation between Melissa Farrell,
Director of Research for Planned Parenthood Gulf
Coast, and two CMP actors posing as
representatives of an organ procurement company.
That conversation focused on potential
compensation to Planned Parenthood in exchange
for fetal remains.
Farrell made it clear that Planned Parenthood had
been involved in the selling of aborted baby parts
for some time and was very familiar with the use of
fetal remains in the production of humanized mice.
She discussed how the Houston affiliate for which
she worked was “resistant” to recent efforts by
Planned Parenthood Federation of America to
standardize fetal tissue sales throughout the
participating affiliates because “we’ve been doing
our own thing for a long time.”
She emphasized repeatedly that she creates a
written line-item budget for compensation that
effectively conceals the fact that the money
received from fetal remains is actually a financial
benefit to the company above and beyond hard
costs.
In addition, she noted that they are able to alter
abortion procedures to make sure they have baby
parts to sell.
“And we have had studies in which the company,
and or in this case, investigator, has a specific need
for certain portions of the parts of conception and
we base that into our contract and our protocol that
Volume 5 Issue 1 Le Chevalier July 2019 p.15
St. Bernadette Council 12164 480-905-0221
we follow this, so we deviate from our standard in
order to do that,” Farrell said, (emphasis added).
Yet Farrell acknowledged that it was illegal for
them to alter the timing or manner of the procedure
for the purpose of ensuring organs were fit for use
by researchers.
In the lengthy video, Farrell is seen looking over her
e-mail when she finds a message from an immune-
biology laboratory that was requesting fetal tissue to
create humanized mice.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel
The Story of Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Hermits lived on Mount Carmel near the Fountain of Elijah in northern Israel in the 12th century. They had a chapel dedicated to Our Lady. By the 13th century they became known as “Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.” They soon celebrated a special Mass and Office in honor of Mary. In 1726, it became a celebration of the universal Church under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. For centuries the Carmelites have seen themselves as specially related to Mary. Their great saints and theologians have promoted devotion to her and often championed the mystery of her Immaculate Conception.
Saint Teresa of Avila called Carmel “the Order of the Virgin.” Saint John of the Cross credited Mary with saving him from drowning as a child, leading him to Carmel, and helping him escape from prison. Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus believed that Mary cured her from illness. On her First Communion day, Thérèse dedicated her life to Mary. During the last days of her life she frequently spoke of Mary.
There is a tradition—which may not be historical—that Mary appeared to Saint Simon Stock, a leader of the Carmelites, and gave him a scapular, telling him to promote devotion to it. The scapular is a modified version of Mary’s own garment. It symbolizes her special protection and calls the wearers to consecrate themselves to her in a special way. The scapular reminds us of the gospel call to prayer and penance—a call that Mary models in a splendid way.
Reflection The Carmelites were known from early on as “Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.” The title suggests that they saw Mary not only as “mother,” but also as “sister.” The word sister is a reminder that Mary is very close to us. She is the daughter of God and therefore can help us be authentic daughters and sons of God. She also can help us grow in appreciation of being sisters and brothers to one another. She leads us to a new realization that all human beings belong to the family of God. When such a conviction
grows, there is hope that the human race can find its way to peace.
