Tootsie Roll Campaign wraps up this weekend after all Masses
This weekend (October 25/26) we will conclude our 2014 Campaign For People With Intellectual Disabilities, better known as the Tootsie Roll Drive. We will be soliciting donations after all masses at Our Lady of Fatima parish. Workers are needed to stand outside church and collect the donations and at the same time pass out tootsie rolls. We could sure use your help. If you will be at Fatima for mass this weekend, please come out of church after communion and put on one of our yellow/orange tootsie roll vests and grab a collection can and some tootsie rolls. Only about 10 to 15 minutes of your time will be needed.
Thanks in advance for your assistance with this program. We will be putting out in the November council newsletter the results of the overall campaign.
More details about the program can be found here, or ask Program Director Dave Schneider, or program leader Stan Collins.
Knights Needed to Lead Rosary Before Masses (last weekend of this month)
A reminder that we still have times available for you to lead the congregation in praying the Rosary the last weekend of October. Many of you will be there helping distribute tootsie rolls, so please consider also helping the Altar and Rosary Society fill this commitment. Please contact Tom to select a spot; tom.martinez@cdccoors.com or call 3039617355. We will not pray the Rosary before the Sunday evening Mass because the instrumental group warms up in the church before that Mass. Also, for any of the slots that only have one Knight praying, if you’d like to partner up, that would be great.| Saturday October 25th | |

Major Degrees available in Northglenn on Oct. 11th
The three degrees provide the basis for Knighthood. The degrees contain the lessons that teach the meaning and purpose of being a Knight. Without the completion of the degrees, a Knight will not understand the basic tenants of Knighthood. Each degree has its own special lesson and the combination of all three degrees provides the Knight with a foundation on which he builds his Knighthood experience. Like all lessons taught to students, the individual understanding as to how they impact are somewhat unique to the student. You can join the Knights and take your 1st Degree, but that is like reading only the first part of a three-part book. You don’t gain the full understanding of what it means to be a Knight unless you complete the major degrees which equates to reading the entire three-part book. The oath you took in the 1st Degree applies equally to all Knights, no matter what degree you have obtained.
A major degree (2nd & 3rd degree) exemplification has been scheduled for next month here in the metro Denver area. The following is detailed information about the exemplification for your consideration: Continue reading

Tootsie Roll Time
Each fall, the Knights of Columbus conduct one of their most popular and successful programs, known as the “Campaign for People with Intellectual Disabilities”. As the name entails, this program benefits people of all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Knights stand outside local businesses and solicit funds from the public. In appreciation, the donor is offered a “Tootsie Roll”. The high visibility of this program has led to the campaign being referred to as the “Tootsie Roll Drive” even though there is no official connection with the candy manufacturer.
Here at Our Lady of Fatima, the Knights of Columbus are in the process of performing a very successful 2014 campaign. Starting the first weekend in September and running through the middle of October, the Knights will be soliciting contributions in front of three different King Soopers stores in the Lakewood area. They will conclude the 2014 campaign by standing outside the Fatima church in late October and asking for donations at the conclusion of all masses. If you would like to contribute to this important drive, you may make a cash donation or write a check addressed to “K of C – 9597”. The Knights will accept any and all donations – small and large as they all add up to help the handicapped. Remember: this program is to help the handicapped and we encourage everyone – young, middle aged and seniors to participate. This is an excellent opportunity for children to experience the “helping hand” of a Catholic by giving to those less fortunate!
All money collected during the drive will stay within the metro-Denver area. In 2013, the program donations were given to the following organizations: Continue reading
