What do you do on a Friday during March Madness and Lent? You fire up the big screen and enjoy some Fish Madness, of course!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to join in the fun! We also had a special celebration—Happy Birthday to Brother John! And a big congratulations to Beth, the woman who pushed our band of Brothers beyond our comfort zone and brought some flair to the game. We were honored to award her an Honorary Knight membership—well deserved! Lastly, a big shoutout to Austin and his crew of OLL 8th graders for all their hard work. Fantastic job, everyone!

From the early set-up crew to the clean-up crew, it took a village to pull this one off. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it happen.

Congratulations to Thomas Enzweiler for being elected Knight of the Month for February. Although Tom just became a Knight one year ago and is one of our youngest Knights, he has been one of our most active members. He became an officer and is our current Outside Guard. He regularly attends the Officer and Directors meetings, checks membership cards for authenticity, and assists the Grand Knight. He has participated in many of our functions including a Fish Fry, lunch after the 11:30 Mass, A Day for Him breakfast, the 70th Anniversary Picnic and the Catholic School Week breakfast. He is a member of the Adoration Team. He has assisted with the Halloween Trunk or Treat and Keep Christ in Christmas programs as well. He is married to Megan and has four beautiful children. He is truly the Catholic gentleman that we all strive to be. Way to go Brother Tom!

Proud to report that 5 brave Knights overcame the remnants of Snowpacolype 2025, to Plunge into the freezing waters of Heritage Lake Pool. We raised over $3,000 for Special Olympics, winning us the Top Fundraising Team award. Brother John Schultz was also recognized for being the Top Individual Donor. Great job by the Wake Forest Police dept, who hosted the event.
