August 2020
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am sure I can find multiple words to describe our latest Fraternal year. I am going to focus on just one:
Amazing.
I believe that then entire year has been just that, Amazing. July 1 – June 30th. I myself found as each month
that passed I was surrounded by amazing people; my co-workers in my life as a mortgage lender, my coun-
terparts on the boards that I serve, everyone that I can call a brother Knight and last but not least my family.
For this quick read I am going to focus on (surprise, surprise) my brother Knights.
I want to first start off with a great big thank you to each Grand Knight in Wyoming. Your amazing leader-
ship has helped the State Council meet the numbers set forth by Supreme for the Circle of Honor. I also will
give my District Deputies (DD) the credit they deserve in keeping their amazing councils informed and on
task. Your other State officers need to also be included in the amazing work provided throughout the year.
The energy and dedication leading up to the State Convention was nothing short of amazing. Last and cer-
tainly not least would be each individual member in the State. Because of you the Knights of Columbus
thrived here in Wyoming. In September I will be able to publish the Awards each council achieved.
Speaking of Awards, I am proud to announce that the Wyoming Family of the Year, the Morales family from
Cody, was chosen by Supreme to be the International Family of the year. You can read more about them
later in the bulletin. The virtual Awards ceremony is posted here on the Supreme website:
https://www.kofc.org/un/en/news-room/convention/2020/awards-ceremony-videos.html
Please take the time to view the amazing accomplishments of all our brothers worldwide.
You can also check out the other virtual components of the Supreme Convention. Thanks again for your
amazing dedication and hard work this past year.
Looking forward I am excited to announce that the State Council has put together a membership incentive
for each council to strive for. We are calling it the 3-2-1 Recruitment Award Program. The basic idea is that
you will reduce the Per Capita paid to the state if you meet your Council membership goal by certain times
of the year. I have also included the flier for your review. Please consult any member of the State Council
or your District Deputy for more specifics. Good luck to all.
Fraternally in Christ.
Bret Ladenburger
Wyoming State Deputy

Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus
Family of the Year
To whom it may concern:
I have been asked to write a letter on behalf of the Jaime and Laura Morales family in our parish, who have just been named Fam-
ily of the Year for the State of Wyoming, Knights of Columbus.
I have known this family for over 18 years. They are truly one of the finest families in our parish. They are deeply faith filled
Catholic, and have been integrally involved in parish life throughout my time as Pastor. They have continually reached out to the
parish and have enrichened parish life with many different events throughout the year, both celebrating the traditions of Mexico
and Mexican American Catholic and other important feasts in the parish. They have also helped to incorporate some of their own
traditions into the Parish celebrations, to help enrichen our parish celebrations, (e.g.: the use of Piñatas with general celebra-
tions). They have constantly volunteered and assist with parish meals, etc. They have hosted Cinco de Mayo celebrations, Posa-
das, Christmas celebrations, etc. Last December, they held a contest for all of our children to assemble “Gingerbread house and
decorate them.” They involved other Hispanic families and our Anglo families in the process. They are very important to the in-
tegration of both cultures in our parish life.
Three years ago, I asked them to begin to ask other Hispanic to locate Hispanic families throughout the community, and they
were instrumental in doing so, so that we could offer a Spanish mass on Sunday evening with a dinner afterwards. Before the
shut-down, we have grown participation substantially. I know that they went to extraordinary lengths to find Hispanos who were
working on ranches, as much as sixty five miles from Cody.
It has not just been the father and mother who have gone to extraordinary lengths to serve the parish and the community, but
they have also engaged their daughters in this outreach as well! Their daughters are very faithful young people as well, and each
of them has a very keen desire for academic excellence and achievement!
They are very beloved to me, and a wonderful support system to me, and the other priests we have had from other countries.
Truly, they are a wonderful example of a truly Catholic family. I know that they pray the Rosary every evening as a family, and
have no doubt, that their participation in their Catholic faith and the Rosary at home is the source of the vitality of this family!
Pax Cristi!
Rev. Vernon F. Clark,
Pastor, Church of St. Anthony
Cody, Wy
Congratulations to the Jaime Morales Family of Cody!

Everything We Need to Know About the Morales Family
(as submitted to Supreme)
Family of the Year supplemental information Positions (offices / program directorships / chairmanships /
committee assignments) held:
Jaime joined the Knights of Columbus Council in 2005 and is a 4th degree member of assembly no. 1888. He
first served as an Outside Guard for 3 years and then Inside Guard for 2 years. In 2019, Jaime was elected to
be one of the Family Program Directors. From hosting pancake breakfasts after Mass to coordinating picnics
at the park in the summer, their goal has been to continue bringing families together in and outside of Mass.
He especially wants to host events that will attract young people to form relationships with Church mem-
bers and see that the local parish treats each other like a family. One of his favorite events is recognizing the
work of the altar servers through an annual picnic - certificates, games, and all. More recently he helped
start an ice cream social after the Spanish Mass because a number of new people - a few who did not even
speak Spanish - started attending the Mass. Some were Latinos returning to the Church and others were
first-time Churchgoers. He saw an opportunity to connect these new people through conversation and new
relationships. Even something as simple as talking over ice cream following the Mass, can help spark a
stronger connection to the Church.
Explain the entire family involvement within the Knights of Columbus:
Although Jaime is the only official member within the Knights of Columbus, his wife, Laura Veronica, could
be an honorary member. She supports KOC events by not just being in attendance, but always volunteering
her time or even supplies. For the annual Buffalo Bill Birthday Ball, she has often lent the Church her table-
cloths while her daughters served the food. Another unique way in which Laura has helped the KOC is
through connecting the organization to people it may not normally have been able to connect with. She
often includes the KOC in events such as La Posada or the live Stations of the Cross. Mentioning these few
examples only scratches the surface of how she’s always willing to support the Church and its mission of be-
ing a Christian example every day. Their daughters also try to set an example of charity. They’ve grown up
attending the KOC dinner meetings on Thursday nights, washing the dishes after events, prepping the hall
before an event, or decorating the Church for the different Church seasons. Even when the youngest were
in elementary school, they were helping instruct adults on where the Christmas decorations went in the
Church. They know how to decorate the Church as if they were decorating their own home. Decorating for
Easter or Christmas is one of their favorite ways to serve the Church.

Explain the entire family’s involvement within the Church:
The Morales family says they’ve been incredibly thankful for all the opportunities the Church has provided
their family. Their service within the Church has been an effort to repay those opportunities. All four of the
Morales girls have served as altar servers since they received Communion. They continued serving all
throughout high school, and the oldest daughter, Abigail, has trained to be a Eucharistic Minister at her col-
lege parish - St. Paul’s Newman Center. Aside from the priest or deacon, the altar servers are the closest to
the Eucharist than anyone else - a privilege they have each yearned for since they were young and learning
their prayers. Jaime and Laura have also provided the church maintenance, lawn care, and all the small de-
tails the Church requires. Aside from helping Father as an altar server, the first event that sparked the fami-
ly’s love for church involvement was the Cinco de Mayo dinner. Laura saw a financial need for individuals
within the parish community. Although the parish has an emergency fund set up, she wanted to do more.
One of the first Cinco de Mayo fundraisers was in 2009 for a fellow parishioner who suffered from a brain
condition and needed to travel to the Mayo Clinic. With the help of the KOC and friends, they hosted a tradi-
tional Mexican dinner with donated raffle items. The event generated $5,000 thanks to the Church commu-
nity. Since then, the Cinco de Mayo dinner has become an annual event with the proceeds given to youth
parishioners working to go to World Youth Day in Poland (such as their two oldest daughters), or an outdoor
playset for the catechism school and preschool. They’re grateful that many of these fundraisers - such as
making enchiladas for a young girl with cancer or a carnival fundraiser for a local boy who was involved in a
car crash - grew to become community-wide. Father Clark has always been so supportive of events that
helped fellow parishioners while also drawing people into the Church. Shortly after the first Cinco de Mayo
dinner, they planned the first feast day Mass for Our Lady of Guadalupe. Abigail dressed up as Mary, Father
Clark read the words from the Bishop, and Jaime played the role of Juan Diego. Together, they reenacted
the Marian apparitions Juan Diego saw in 1531 just as it is done each year in their hometown in Mexico. This
event has grown to become a celebration of the sacred Mother with the reenactment during Mass
(different children volunteer each year), a processional, and a dinner afterward. Since then, they’ve tried to
establish traditions within the church that continue to bring together parishioners. They’ve also brought the
tradition of La Posada to the local Church. This is a Mass followed by a procession representing Mary and
Joseph’s journey of looking for shelter before the birth of Christ. Each year, volunteers take a corner of the
basement and transform it into an “inn” while the KOC are in charge of food. Everyone sings as they arrive
at each inn and get rejected, until the last place accepts them. Afterward, there is dinner and piñatas for the
kids. Last year, they also partnered with the KOC to create a live action Stations of the Cross - which was al-
so inspired by the one Jaime and Laura always attended while growing up. The KOC helped create the cross-
es, platforms, while other community members left anonymous donations which helped fund the many nec-
essary costumes for the young volunteers, such as wigs, soldier uniforms, cloaks, and accessories. Together
they created a scene for each of the 14 stations of the cross and invited the Christian community to com-
memorate the Lord’s crucifixion in a memorable way. The event was published in the local newspaper, and
the hope is that more people attend each year to celebrate the Passion of the Lord. More recently, Father
Clark has taken the initiative of accommodating a growing Hispanic population with our Catholic communi-
ty. He asked Laura to help plan the logistics of a monthly Spanish Mass on the first Sunday of each month.
She also started creating a bulletin in Spanish for those in attendance.

In the beginning, she chose the music for each week, found the altar servers, and would invite people to
attend - even if that was at the grocery store. Once it became a consistent pattern for people, it became
aware that many of the adults spoke minimal English and their children often served as their translators.
Local church leaders saw the need for an English class for the Catholic brothers and sisters to develop their
skills and grow within the community. Laura helped find the help of two former ESL instructors and three
retired teachers, the weekly English class - with games, lesson plans, and groups divided by skill level - be-
gan. It’s important to note that these programs would not have been possible without the support of a
priest like Father Clark who has always encouraged programs that grow the Catholic faith and community.
Explain the entire family’s involvement within the community:
Three of their daughters are in college and one is going to be a senior in high school. Abbey is pursuing her
Master’s, the second, Jessica, is in nursing school, and the third, Victoria, is a freshman in college. All four of
them have stayed busy not only helping at the Church, but also the community. They’ve been members of
the National Honor Society, and Abigail even served as the President of the club. All four of them have trav-
elled to the state capitol to lobby for bills with the high school club, Youth For Justice. They’re all activists for
social justice in their own way - Jessica made a promotional video for Serenity Pregnancy Resource Center, a
Pro-Life non-profit that provides free services to local pregnant women. They also helped run the cake walk
at the annual Who Party, which won the KOC International Pro-Life award. When she was in high school,
Abigail won second place at the KOC pro-life essay contest. Victoria also created a short documentary on
organ donation which won national awards and is now an informational commercial for the National Organ
Donation Alliance. Abigail and Jessica are also on the team that film Mass each Sunday to provide a live feed
for those in the parish who are unable to attend physically. All four of them have also held Quinceañeras, a
traditional celebration of a girl’s transition to womanhood and promise to Christ of purity, charity, and faith.
The Morales family invites the entire community to the Mass, dinner, and dance - exposing many in the
community to this tradition for the first time in their life. They’re especially proud of the example their
daughters have set within the community. Abigail and Jessica won Wyoming Journalist of the Year as seniors
in high school, because they constantly sought to deliver quality journalism to their school. Three of them
also signed up and were chosen to be on C.A.N. trading cards for local elementary school students. The re-
sponsibilities include a lifelong commitment to remain drug-free and volunteer work within the elementary
and middle schools. Thanks to this amazing community, Abigail, Jessica, and Victoria, first-generation col-
lege students, have attended school debt-free through private, local, and state scholarships. They say that
their volunteer work within the community will never be able to repay what this town has provided us. Alt-
hough they’re young, their four daughters have a dream of together setting up a private scholarship for a
Cody High School graduate as a way to say thank you.

Brother Knights
These last 2 weeks we have lost 2 very good priests, Fr. Fraher and Fr. Beavers. Who will re-
place them? These men served several parishes in Wyoming, Fr Fraher for almost 70 years
and Fr. Beavers for 44 years. I ask you again…. who will replace them? Granted we do have 4
seminary students preparing for the priesthood but that does not occur over night. It usually
takes 8 years, 4 years of college and 4 years of theology. We continue to receive priests from
other countries which is a blessing and we are most grateful. Several of our active priest now
are eligible for retirement and thankfully they have chosen to remain active in the Diocese of
Cheyenne. Without the current numbers of priest some missions and even parishes may be
closed. Deacons also are given more responsibilities within the diocese. Fortunately, we
have 6 men in Deaconate formation who will be ordained in September 2021. We need to
be more active in recruiting men for the priesthood from our own parishes. Young men just
need to be asked.
Fr. Joseph Fraher and Fr. Carl Beavers rest in Peace.

Faith in Action
Council 3477 in Gillette serving the masses literally with a parish picnic following the Sunday morning mass July 26. Our heavenly father provided the best Wyoming weather with none
of that Wyoming wind.
Council 7453 conducted our Annual Highway Cleanup on the west Green River Interchange on July 15. Thank you, Brother Knights and Families, for helping out.
The Powell Knights helped the Dept of Homeland Security and Park Co public Health services hand out a truck load of free food last Sat. It was a full truck, about 20 pallets of food. We had approx. 20 volunteers and served food to about 200 people.

“Monthly Challenge from the Supreme Chaplain” THIS MONTH'S CHALLENGE AUGUST 2020
“And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the
netherworld shall not prevail against it.” (Gospel for Aug. 23, Mt 16:18)
That’s quite a promise! Christ established Peter as the head of his Church on earth, with his teaching au-
thority and the guarantee that hell itself would not defeat it. How we practice our faith in word and deed in-
fluences the moral and spiritual formation of others — our family, friends, fellow parishioners and neigh-
bors. With the help of God’s grace, fathers have a sacred role to protect their families from the devil’s as-
saults. May we all take seriously this responsibility to be a “rock” of the Catholic faith in our domestic
churches, parishes and communities.
Challenge by Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William E. Lori:
This month, I challenge you to join with others — family, friends, brother Knights — in praying the rosary
for the intention of remaining steadfast in the faith. Second, I challenge you to encourage members of your
parish to stand firm in the faith by starting or promoting the Faith in Action Building the Domestic Church
Kiosk program at your church.
Questions for Reflection: Do you regularly lead your family in prayer by saying grace before meals, reciting the rosary, reading Scrip-
ture or practicing other devotions? Do you openly discuss the Catholic faith so that your children know and
understand the faith and its truth, goodness and beauty? Do you pray for your wife and children that God
may protect them from the attacks of the devil?
FAITH IN ACTION FAMILY OF THE MONTH/YEAR
Faith in Action - Family Programs Stimulate and support the development of strong and vibrant families. A Higher Purpose
Promote and support the development of strong and vibrant families. Each council establishes a committee
to recognize a deserving Family of the Month and Family of the Year with potential for recognition on the in-
ternational level.
Overview
Each month, the council Family of the Month committee selects one parish family that models Christian fami-
ly values and visibly lives them every day. Once a year, each participating council also selects one of the
previous twelve Family of the Month winners to represent the council/parish as the potential international
Family of the Year. The Knights of Columbus Family of the Year is chosen by the Supreme Council and rec-
ognized each year at the annual Supreme Convention.

PRAYER FOR THE POPE
Heavenly Father, be pleased to bless and protect our Holy Father, Pope Francis, whom you have chosen as the successor of St. Peter as the chief minister of the unity and charity in the Church. Keep him safe in holiness of life and in wise fulfillment of his awesome responsibili-ties.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen
PRAYER FOR THE BISHOP
Heavenly Father, in these trying times when the spirit of the age threatens Christian values, give our bishop holiness of life and wisdom to direct and guide our diocesan family so that we may grow in your love.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen
PRAYER FOR PRIESTS
Heavenly Father, bless and protect priests and fill them with the joy and courage of their vocation as personal ministers of Christ in preaching your word, forming communities in your name and nourishing us with the Sacraments.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen
PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
Heavenly Father, bless your Church with an abundance of holy and zealous priests, dea-cons, brothers and sisters.
Give those you have called to the married state and those you have chosen to live as sin-gle persons in the world, the special graces that their lives required.
Form us all in the likeness of your Son so that in him, with him and through him we may love you more deeply and serve you more faithfully, always and everywhere.
With Mary we ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
THE MEMORARE
Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help and sought thy intercessions, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen
Here’s a collection of prayers that may be handy for use at your council meetings

Join the Father McGivney Guild
As the sainthood process for Venerable Father Michael McGivney continues, it becomes ever more im-portant to increase membership in the Father McGivney Guild. Membership stands at over 171,000, but only 464 listed to be from Wyoming. There are 2600 members shown in Wyoming.
Please encourage every Knight in your council, and their families, to join the McGivney Guild. Membership is open to everyone, not just Knights and families. It is easy to sign up at http://www.fathermcgivney.org/en/index.html. And please continue to pray the canonization prayer for Father McGivney.
