Chaplain's Corner - May 2012

fr-greg 133_w_borderBrother Knights –
What a great celebration of Priesthood the combined Councils #4584 and #10799 and the St. Francis of Assisi Assembly of our Order provided in honoring our own Fr. John Kastigar,  a 30-year member of our Bishop Salpointe Council #4584, and Faithful Friar of the St. Francis of Assisi Assembly for 28 years!
The occasion was, of course, the 60th Anniversary of Fr. John’s Ordination to the Priesthood. Saturday, 5 May, we began with the Mass at St. Andrew’s, with Fr. John as the main Celebrant, and con-celebrated by Brother Knights Frs. Michael Bucciarelli, Christopher Opara, Ariel Lustan, and myself. In addition to the Brother Knights from both Councils and the Honor Guard of the 4th Degree, District Master and Past State Deputy Michael Kingman, State Treasurer Larry Becker, and State Secretary Bryant Sayers, and their wives, were in attendance!
At the Dinner following at the Knights of Columbus Hall, Fr. John’s 60 years of Priesthood, 50 years of Military Chaplaincy, and 30 years of ministry at Fort Huachuca, were acknowledged by a crowd of over 250, with many military notables and Knights Officers joining in the tribute.
The following day, Sunday, 6 May, the Knights again gave leadership and support to a celebration of Fr. John’s half-century of service as a Chaplain to the Military, and 30 years at Fort Huachuca, at a Mass and Brunch at the Main Post Chapel!
This marvelous celebration of a great Priest and a great Sir Knight would not have been possible without the energy and generosity of our Knights, and especially our Grand Knight Larry Carter, Grand Knight Robert Bridges (#10799), District Deputy and Faithful Navigator of the St. Francis of Assisi Assembly Juan Villafane, State Secretary Bryant Sayers, and many, many others who worked very hard to make the whole weekend a great and memorable event, not only for Fr. John, and his family members who surprised him by coming in for the event from all over the U.S., but also all who attended!
When it became necessary to disclose some of the plans underway several weeks ago to Fr. John, he reacted – typically-- by saying that he didn’t want any “fuss” made over him, but he relented when it was pointed out to him that for the Knights to honor one Priest was really an honor given to all Priests – and to the Priesthood which he personifies! That was certainly the experience of the five Priests who were also in attendance! You ‘did us proud’, Brother Knights, and we are all very, very grateful to you!
VIVAT JESUS!
Fr. Greg

The Be Not Afraid campaign is to encourage recruitment of new Knights.  The campaign runs between 1 December 2011 and 29 June 2012.  Every brother who recruits a new Knight will receive a medal of the Blessed John Paul II.  A brother who recruits 4 new members will receive a limited edition issue of the Blessed John Paul II medal with a display stand.  So, now when you recruit a new brother (and we have one of the best records of recruiting in the diocese) you will be recognized.  For more information, please contact either the GK or Brother Abe Gatman, our Membership Chairman.
