Gay Birthday Bash and Fr. Rosensteel Council

A few weeks ago, I wrote to you about an article in the Washington comPost about the refusal by a DJ to play at at birthday party.  The bottom line is that it is a birthday party hosted by a gay couple, for another gay may, who was the former "partner" of the ohter.  You can read about it here.

Well, our colleague over at Restore DC Catholicism has once again done yeoman work in tracking down the fact that the party ill be on Saturday evening, August 8th.  

It seems that the leadership of the Knights do not have a problem with this, but given the liberal Catholyc leanings of the PGK, it does not surprise this author.  

Some are calling for a protest.  Others are calling for you to contact the Council leadership.  

My guess is that they had no clue about the party until it was booked, but when they did, it did not seem to bother them.

At this point, I do not think that they will budge but I do think that you should contact the current  DGK.  The Fr. Rosensteel Council website has not been updated, as the listed Deputy Grand Knight (DGK) is now the Grand Knight.

Let them know that what is taking place is not in the best interest of the Knights or of the Church.  And if they cannot get out of this, ask what they are going to do to prevent this in the future. 

Be respectful.

Is Fr. Rosensteel Council hosting Gay Birthday Party in August? (Update)

Today's Washington Post has an article entitled:  "Company declines to provide a DJ for a gay man's party."   In this (and I will have more on this in another posting, as I have seen his whining, hypocritical email), talks about a birthday party hosted by a gay couple for another gay man, and how the DJ company said that they would not handle the event.  Note that the birthday boy, was the "former partner" of the of the person mentioned below.

In the article, it stated that the party is to be held at the local Knights of Columbus hall.  It seems that the only KofC hall, in the area where the gay couple lives, is the Fr. Rosensteel Council.

Now, we would not have known any of this, had it not been that Tom Tsakounis (46) of Silver Spring, had not talked about this with The Washington Post.  

So:  Is Fr. Rosensteel Council hosting a birthday party for a gay person, sponsored by a gay couple? 

They probably did not know about it, when it was booked, but now that they know, what is their answer?


Update - June 16, 2015

As mentioned to you earlier, I do have a copy of the email. (Thank you Melvin for it.) Unfortunately, the Washington comPost article does not mention some key points.  So here are my thoughts...

• The author's last name is never revealed in the email. So, we only know that he lives in the South Four Corner area of MoCo.
• The author never mentioned where the party was to be held.
• The author states that he "appreciates that we live in country that is filled with diversity and I will fight to the death to preserve and defend each person's right to believe what they want to believe and defend their faith in whatever way they deem appropriate."  Now, if this is the case, why are you so upset when they do not want to do a party that would go against their belief system?   Should you not respect them? 
• The author then tells everyone that if you do not support same sex marriage or the LGBTQ community, you might not want to continue reading.  Why?  You made composed this huge email and then tell people who do not support your sexual orientation not to read any further.  Why?
• He continues by telling everyone that "hate is alive and well in" MoCo.  So, so someone who disagrees with you and whom you promised to fight to the death for, suddenly is hate filled?  That seems pretty hypocritical to me.
• The author then goes into the story and relates that he received a couple of DJ names and numbers from the South Four Corner listserv.  His sister agreed to help and as the comPost correctly states, contacted the DJ in question.   Now, here is the interesting part:  When the sister learned that as a Christian business that they were "not comfortable with providing service to a party like this.  My sister told him she was no longer interested in using their business." 
• There was nothing in the author's email stating that email that said that the DJ representative was rude, yelling, cursing, making any gay slurs, etc.  And, more importantly, you (or at least your sister) ultimately stated that she did not want to do business with them.  That was your call. 

Also, if you know that the KofC is a Catholic organization, why did you book the party there?   Was it to embarrass the KofC - a Catholic organization?  Did you do it because you know their stance on gay marriage and homosexual behavior and thought that it might make for a good laugh with your buddies?  

Personally, I believe that Tom Tsakounis is:

• playing the "victim" and loving all of the attention that it gets him
• a hypocrite
• a BULLY.

A reader asked me to post this:

Knights of Columbus ,
Father Rosensteel Council, 9707 Rosensteel Ave. Silver Spring MD

Help Support Our Seminarians - This Sunday!!!

A Knight of Columbus member forwarded me this:

Beginning September 6 and on the first Sunday of each month thereafter, the Knights of Columbus Rosensteel Council will host an all you can eat breakfast to support the diocese’s seminarian program (the Knights regularly contribute money to the seminarians to help defray their educational costs).

Breakfast will be served from 8 a.m. to noon and costs $7.99 per person (a great deal!).

The menu includes: Fruit - fresh cut and wholeBreads, muffins, bagels, butter, jelly, cream cheese, individual cereal, yogurt, hash browns, grits, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, syrup & whipped cream, coffee, milk, and assorted juices.

Wow, what a bargain. In fact, if you do go, just give them a $10 bill and call it even. Heck, if you are feeling even more generous, throw in another $5 for good measure.

Don't know where the Fr. Rosensteel Council is? It is just off of Forest Glen Road, across the road from the Carroll Chapel and St. John the Evangelist (Historic) Church.

Pro-Life Movement in Action: Fr. Rosensteel Council (K of C)

In November, I wrote about a fundraiser held for the St. Joseph House by the Maryknights of the Fr. Rosensteeel Council - Knights of Columbus.

A few weeks ago, I was informed that the fundraiser netted over $18,000.00! Wow, what an outstanding job!

I highlight this because this is once again, a magnificent example of the pro-life moment today.

We hear constantly from pro-abortion supporters that those of us on the pro-life side only care about the child before he/she is born. We don't care about the child after it is born. We all know that is not true.

Whenever, I am confronted by this statement, I pull our a copy of the Columbia (the KofC monthly magazine) and just flip through the section on Knights in Action. Knights in Action highlights the good works done by Councils around the world -- building ramps for seniors, raising funds for Special Olympics, picking up trash, are among their many activities.

The pro-abortion side just "talks the talk." The pro-life moment "walks the walk." It is style over substance. The KofC has substance.

Once again, congratulations to the Maryknights of the Fr. Rosensteel Council.

Thanks to the Maryknights of the Fr. Rosensteel Council (K of C #2169)

This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to attend a fundraiser for the St. Joseph House sponsored by the Maryknights of the Fr. Rosensteel Council (Knights of Columbus). Not only was a good time had by all but it raised some much needed funds for their work.

The St. Joseph House is a non-profit daycare and respite home serving children with multiple disabilities. It is run by Cubby and Dan LaHood and their family (and they have really wonderful kids). In addition, Cubby and Dan are Lay Missionaries of Charity. They receive no financial assistance from any government entity or from the Catholic Church. So, the funds to run the House come from fundraisers such as the one at the Knights and donations from average people like you and me.

As we give thanks for the many blessings God has given us (and He has given us oh so many), I would like to give thanks to the Maryknights and all of the Knights of the Fr. Rosensteel Council (Knights of Columbus #2169) for hosting this wonderful event and giving the St. Joseph House not only a much needed financial boost but a chance to make their mission a bit better known.


NB: I will be taking some time off to spend with the family at Thanksgiving and will post again in a few days.

A Good Samaritan

This past Saturday night, I attended a fundraiser at the Fr. Rosensteel Council of the Knights of Columbus (more about that tomorrow).

During the event, one of the elderly participants was crossing the street outside of the Council building and fell face down into the street. I am not certain if he lost his balance, tripped, etc.

Someone saw what happened and immediately rushed inside to get help. The first person to respond was Michael Collins. Mike, who works at Holy Cross Hospital in the Physical Therapy section (I think I got that right), immediately began to administer first aid to the elderly man to not only stop the bleeding but also to prevent shock.

During the entire time, Mike not only remained calm while administering first aid, but also kept the person calm until the EMTs arrived.

In addition, Laura Collins (Mike's wife) attempted to keep the elderly gentleman's wife calm by letting her know that her husband would be fine and asking her questions about the medications he might be on.

I know that they probably would be upset and a little embarrassed my writing this but they deserve to be recognized.

Kudos go out to Mike and Laura!
