You're Invited to a Virtual Webinar with Industry Leader Van Mueller
November 9th, 2021 - 7:00 PM Central
Financial Success Under Most Any Circumstance You're invited to join our webinar where Van will ask some wonderful compelling questions that will help you clarify how to have financial and retirement success. Here are a few examples.
1) How can you maximize your social security?
2) Do you prefer to build a legacy for your family and business or the Internal Revenue Service?
3) If there was a way to reduce or eliminate the income tax liability on your IRA or 401K, when would you want to know about it. Before or after they charge the tax? *
4) Can you build a wonderful retirement income if interest rates remain at zero and the stock market offers zero return for a decade?
You must register at https://vanmueller.com/kofc-registration-11-9/
The Knights were established around the premise of Embracing Life at all stages and we continue that tradition, especially in October. SJTW's council contributed $500 to the Respect Life Baby shower, $500 to Holy Family Adoption Agency (the only catholic organization supporting adoptions), $500 to the Haiti relief fund, and organized the coats distribution to our local communities on October 23rd. We're blessed to have so much support from this Parish! Thank you for your continued support.

St. Joseph the Worker Knights of Columbus and Ladies Auxiliary sponsored a Respect Life Baby Shower.
Surprised! Photo by David Ellis courtesy of the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus
Surprised! David Ellis, a photographer, was sent to St. Joseph the Worker Parish in Maple Grove on October 4, 2020, by Supreme Knights of Columbus Organization for a future featured article in the Columbia Magazine; the monthly magazine of the Knights of Columbus, the largest Catholic family fraternal service organization in the world.
Surprised! The Knights and Auxiliary were grateful for the wonderful response by the parishioners at the annual October Respect Life Baby Shower, at a time when few parishioners are attending services during Covid-19; which netted much needed baby items and monetary donations. The Respect Life Baby Shower benefits two nonprofit pregnancy resource centers: WomenSource in Anoka and Abria in North Minneapolis. -

What do the Knights do?
Almost everyone knows the Knights of Columbus as an organization. Many people even know members. But, too often, they don’t know what we really do.
They don’t know about the thousands of wheelchairs Knights give away, or the K of C-sponsored ultrasound machines. They don’t know that Knights are helping save Christianity in Iraq, or giving coats to children locally and internationally. They don’t know the countless ways the Knights, your local St. Joseph the Worker council, the brother Knights and their families join together in doing good for others.
Most people probably don’t know about the extremely competitive life and long term care insurance available through the Knights, or that we have a no-fee, interest rate competitive annuity with no risk of loss for their retirement savings.
People need to hear our story. We don’t often brag about the funding we provide to CROSS, Special Olympics, our faith formation program, our sister parish in Bouzy, the Catholic Adoption Agency and the boy scouts, but this is just a small sample of who we help. And we are putting our faith in action with our Novena’s for Life, participation in the March for Life, and the visits to the sick and disabled that we perform. I would invite each of our Catholic families to join us in our charitable mission and have the opportunity to access our insurance products.
If you would like to know more about the Knights or are ready to join us, please give Dan Falstad a call at 612 310 5254. While we would love to have your active participation, we know you are busy so if you want to support us and get on an email list to hear what we are doing feel free to join on line at Knights.net. Use # 2743823 as your referring member number and I will be able to contact you. -

We offer a wide array of e-books, articles and videos to members to help them and their families grow in their faith. PROTECTOR OF FAMILY – We offer top quality insurance products exclusively to our members to help them protect their families. You can offer my services as you are recruiting men into the Order. PROTECTOR OF THE DEFENSELESS – Our Catholic faith strengthens our pro-life values as we stand up for those most vulnerable. BROTHER FOR LIFE – With over 15,000 councils around the world, there is a local brotherhood for you to join and grow with as you serve your community. COMMUNITY LEADER – From helping the homeless to disaster relief aid to widely recognized programs like Coats for Kids, the Knights are always there when their communities need them most.
