From Our Insurance Agent . . .
Different life stages, changing needs
Paying for college for your children may be one of your family's current needs. You may be concerned about a comfortable, worry-free retirement. You may wonder if needing costly long-term care will deplete your hard-earned assets. You want to have something to leave for your wife, children or grandchildren.
At some point you may have had all of these needs on your mind. Over time, these thoughts make way for others as your needs evolve, your finances change and you get older. What is important to you at age 20, may not be at 30, or 45, or 65. What is the best way to be prepared for these changes before they happen?
One of the easiest ways to be financially ready for changes that come with different life stages is to meet annually with your professional Knights of Columbus agent, and address the needs that his analysis uncovers. This can help you be ready to face the financial challenges and issues on the road ahead.
During that annual visit, I'll take the time to review your needs, goals and budget. I'll update all beneficiaries on your policies and be sure your coverage meets your needs. I'll recommend a program of life insurance, long-term care insurance and guaranteed income annuities that will help you rest easy at night.
Whatever your needs, whatever your concerns, whatever your stage in life, I can help.
Victor Jeyaraj, I'm at 734 707-0126 or victor.jeyaraj@kofc.org. Call me - let's talk.
NOTE: Insurance is open only to current members. All Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, are welcome to join the Knights.

Council #8989 Cross-Bearers
Masses, Last Weekend of Every Month, St. Francis of Assisi ParishMembers of St. Francis of Assisi Council #8989 are serving as cross-bearers at the Masses at St Francis of Assisi Parish on the last weekend of each month. The cross-bearer leads the opening and closing processions of the Mass, carrying the cross with both hands such that it is well above the head. A seventeenth-century Council of Milan stated that a cross-bearer should, when possible, be a cleric, but if a lay person is chosen, "the most worthy of the laity should be selected for the office."
It is indeed an honor that we have been asked to fulfill this task!
To volunteer to serve our parish as a cross-bearer, please e-mail our Grand Knight at GK8989@mikofc.org.
