Home of the Knights of Columbus #11730

Knight of the Month: Kerry White: Brother Kerry has continued to serve our parish and our council in many ways during his membership in our parish. He is currently serving as a lector for the church. He’s done many duties for the Knights, including Grand Knight. Just recently, Kerry led a team of Knights to install about 250 flags on the church grounds to commemorate the many fallen heroes for the Memorial Day weekend.
Godspeed with your new parish. They will be lucky to have both of you as parishioners, Kerry and Rebecca.

Family of the Month: Mark and Jill Russell: This couple has been serving the parish and the Knights and the Ladies ever since they came to the parish. They’ve participated with their grandchildren in the youth programs. When it became apparent that churches needed to make their environments safer, Mark stepped up and led the Life Safety Team. Jill also led the Ladies Aux., and as a couple they led past fish fries. Mark participated in a few council positions as an officer, and most recently guided our council to a deal with the church to improve our facilities. Thank you, Mark and Jill, for all you do. I’m sure you will do great things in your new parish.

Brother Knights,
I regret to inform you that Fr. Paul Wicker passed to the Lord this morning at about 7 a.m. Many in the Diocese knew Fr. Paul and he was beloved by all. Please say a prayer and keep in tune for the Funeral Mass announcement.

This month our council is recognizing Worthy Guard Gary Munda. Gary works as a hospitality minister at Saturday 4:30 Masses. In doing this he promotes the Knights and our council by wearing our council long sleeved green shirt. Gary is very cordial to all who enter the church building, making a good impression for himself, our council, and the Knights of Columbus. Gary also readily helps and is highly visible when serving with the OLP Life Safety Team and performing Sacristan duties.

Joe Graff. Our Deputy Grand Knight produced and hosted four Into the Breach Retreats, during the months of November, January, February and March. These retreats, sponsored by the Knight’s of Columbus, offered men both spiritual and practical guidance to be leaders of faith in their families and communities.
