ON TAP
ON TAP is a discussion group for young adults to gather, mingle and
meet. They listen, learn, live, eat, and drink. They ask questions on
meaning, marriage, loss and mourning, fracture, feeling alone, being
single again, and money as guided by sacred scriptures. Young adults
and others who love the format continue in the tradition of both the
east and west sides of religion. That is, all are welcome, especially
the young adults.
The discussions are led by Father Lawrence Ventline.

spiritual director; he is a board certified professional counselor as

Chaplain's Corner
Rev. Lawrence Ventline
My neighbor in
Harrison Twp, MI., Deane Clark, just wrote a book on freedom, values,
and the Tea Party while my latest two tomes treat human decency,
independence, the environment, self worth, and a dump across the street
at Harrison Coves Condominiums that morphed to a garden.
Dignity for creation with common courtesy - lost and shifting values
and virtues (strengths) - is theme for growing an interior life of
wellness for world and self.
Discussion stirs with these books in our clashing cultures of a
two-party system that excludes opposing team players and citizens. Love
is the lone party, believers are to embrace. The right to love is the
lone party to envelope and include all of the human family and
creation.
The book signing set for July 14, in Sacred Heart Church, 18430 Utica
at Gratiot, Roseville, 586-777-9116, includes a tour of the historic
edifice and a lecture, 10 Things You Should Know About Your Anger at
6:30 pm.
An All Faiths Festival (AFF) Pilgrimage to Karbala Educational Center
and Museum, Dearborn, is Set for Saturday, August 7, and, a Family
Picnic at Belle Isle, Aug. 8.
Imam Husham Al-Husainy of the All Faiths Festival (AFF) welcomes all
Saturday, Aug. 7 for a 12 noon & 4 p.m. pilgrimage in the Karbala
Islamic Education Center and Museum, 15332 W. Warren, west of
Greenfield, Dearborn, 48126. At 1:30 p.m. is Come and Pray Your Way,
and, a Children of Abraham panel and press conference at 2:30 p.m.,
entitled, Elements of Unity Among the Children of Abraham: One Family
Under God, hosted by Imam Husham Al-Husainy, Rabbi Mordehai Waldman,
and me.
The museum portrays in art the similarities of Moses, Jesus and
Mohamed. Admission is free.
The panel welcomes the press as clergy unveil a statement calling for
more than cursory, drive-by sound bites that skim the surface of
significant stories. "There is an inordinate fest that if we go too
deep it will require endurance, staying, commitment and active
participation on our part," Father Kenneth Kaucheck, a distinguished
local pastor and retreat leader said.
"Just give it a swipe. Dust and go. Make it look good without depth.
The public's ability to maintain an attention span longer than a few
minutes it quickly dissipating."
"Moses, Jesus and Mohamed are one in God, and, all the Children of
Abraham need to appreciate their agreement and covenant to prepare
humanity for the same goal of peace and joy as one family under the
Creator," Imam Al-Husainy, host, and, an organizer of the event said.
Join the AFF for food, hospitality, soccer, children's games, and
prayer at the family All Faiths Festival (AFF) Belle Isle 2nd Annual
Pot Luck Picnic (at children's play area), Sunday, Aug. 8, 10:30 a.m.-3
p.m. Admission is free.
Participants are invited to share food and non-toxic beverages, provide
chairs, and bring games and equipment for games.
The aim of the All Faiths Festival, founded in 2008, is to build
bridges, create dialog, foster recognition and respect among all faith
traditions, religions and cultures, and to support families and people
in crisis.

Grand Knight's Message
Worthy Brother Knights,
Vivat Jesu.
First of all, I would like to thank all of my fellow officers for your
service this past year, especially Past Grand Knight Bob Dyer! You have
been great. And just in case you do not know, our District Deputy Tom
Kennedy (Council 2569 is his home council) does an excellent job! Come
to your meetings and see.
I would also like to thank our new members for their support of the
council both at meetings and at various activities, especially at the
MI Drive we held very successfully in March.
Some new things are coming up.
First, come to our Anniversary Party for the 85th year of Council No.
2569. It’ll be a summer party on August 1, starting at 1. To save
money, it’ll be at the home of Treasurer and Past Grand Knight Gary
Schultz. Thank you Gary! See the address on the front page of this
newsletter. The Council will pay for food and drink, but you have to be
there with your families and friends.
Second, the Installation of Council Officers will take place on
September 19, a Sunday, starting at 1:00 p.m. in the Royal Canadian
Legion in Royal Oak, our meeting place. Members are most encouraged to
come to the installation and enjoy camaraderie, food, and drink. Again,
you have to be there with your families and friends.
Third, we are again sponsoring an annual Major Degree on November 6 at
St. Mary Parish Hall in Royal Oak. Circle the date. If you have your
Third Degree, observe. If you are waiting for your Third Degree, call
me and be there. This is members only but family is invited to the
dinner afterward.
Fourth, we have a membership meeting on the fourth Tuesday of every
month. Well, not new, but I don’t see everyone there, so it may be new
to you. I am personally inviting you to come to the Royal Canadian
Legion to meet your brother members and reacquaint yourselves with some
old friends. I would like to see everyone at the Royal Canadian Legion
in our meeting room on membership meeting nights. Get to know what’s
happening. Make your voice heard.
Keep Council 2569 alive for another 85 years.
God bless you all.
Vivat Jesu,
Ron O’Connor
Grand Knight
