We are having a fall out at St Louis King of France Catholic Church at 7601 Burnet Road in Austin for the 10:00am Mass for Life on Saturday morning as part of Texas Catholic Pro-Life Day. We will be assembling in the Nartex at 9:30am for the 10:00am mass. It would be nice to have some fellow Sir Nights from out of town join us.

After mass we will be able to pick up a BURGER AND DRINK AT THE PARRISH HALL. (Louis the IX Hall) before heading to the March.

NOTE: Counsel 5967 will be providing burgers and a drink for a very reasonable price. It is the best option for lunch in that will enable participants to make it to the March for Life by start time.

Information about the Texas Catholic Pro-Life Day is on the Austin Dioceses web site. This information includes parking arias.

Web Site: https://www.austindiocese.org/texas-catholic-pro-life-day

Map including Parking: https://www.texasallianceforlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2023-Texas-Rally-for-Life-Map.pdf

Latest Map of Capital

CATCH THE BUS

If you do not want to drive around down town looking for the parking aria, Capital Metro Transit has a bus stop almost in front of the church. After lunch, cross Burnet Road at the designated crossing. The bus stop (know as North Cross Station) is right their. Catch bus 803 (SB) down town. Get out at “Capital Station”. It lets you off at the corner of 12th and Lamar. Cross Lamar and you will be about a block and a half from the south east corner of the capital ground. Walk west down the hill and you will see the capital. Once on the Capital Grounds can go to the other side of the capital building and you will see the assemble area.

After the Texas Rally for Life is over, you can go back close to the same place you were dropped off. Look for the stop on the west side of Lamar. Catch the 803 (NB). Get off at North Cross Station right across Burnet from St Louis Church.

I believe the fair is $3.50 each way, or you can get a day pass for $7:00.

Capital metro website: https://www.capmetro.org/fares

Route 803 website: https://www.capmetro.org/schedmap/?svc=0&f1=803

Please distribute this email of friends and family that are coming in to Austin for the Rally for Life.

We will be looking forward to seeing you.

Be advised there is also a fallout at St Jose Church in South Austin. The Mass there will be given by Bishop Vásquez.

Prayer request for Jim Whited

Hi All, Prayer request for our brother Jim Whited. He sent this email:

“Denis, it may be some time before I can attend another meeting. Jane had a stroke last December and requires full time attention. I have a caregiver that offers some relief. Additionally, I had a heart attack in January. Two stents were installed within three hours which resulted in only a small loss of heart muscle. (These things are supposed to occur in threes, right?) Anyway, I'm in recovery for a while. Looking forward to joining you all soon. Prayers appreciated.”

Please pray for brother Jim.

Please pass this information along to your assemblies. Kirby has been a Knight for 74 years and has served with many Knights all over Austin. He was an institution in counsel 5967 and Assemble 2244. I am sure that many who knew him would like the opportunity to give their last regards.

It goes without saying that acceptable Dress for Kerby’s fallouts are:

1. The uniform;

2. tuxedo, plain white shirt (no tux shirts), black neck tie or bow tie, black dress shoes and social baldric. No sword;

3. black or dark suite, plain white shirt, black or dark neck tie, black or dark shoes and social baldric. No sword.

If you do not have the uniform please put on your tux or dark suite and fall out with us, do not let a little thing like a uniform stop you from honoring our fallen brother.

Hope to see you there.

Dear SK George L Frederick:

Deacon Mike at St. Helen’s has requested a fallout for the funeral Mass of Monsignor Louis John Wozniak. The service will be officiated by Bishop Joe Vasquez and there may be a second bishop as well. For that reason, THIS WILL BE AN ALL HANDS ON DECK EVENT. Color Corps members with full regalia should make every effort to attend. Monsignor Wozniak was very active in the Austin Diocese so this is not just a St Helens event.

The Mass will begin at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, June 15, at St. Helens. Show time is 9:30 AM. We might be joined by other Color Corps members from our district so please make an effort to be on time.

For those interested in attending the visitation and rosary, that will be held on Monday evening, June 14, from 6:00-8:00 PM. We do not plan on participating in that unless several volunteers with full regalia come forward.

As a reminder, we still have the chalice presentation on Tuesday evening at Holy Trinity. The emphasis, however, is making sure we have a strong showing for the funeral Mass. Please let me know if you will be able to attend.

Vivat Jesus,

SK George L Frederick Color Corps Commander fredkofc@redacted.com mailto:fredkofc@redacted.com
