Congratulations goes out to John M. for being named Knight of the Month for January 2026. He joined the Knights in 2018 and has been an integral part of the success of many of our programs since. John has served as our worthy Recorder and became Community Director serving from 2021 to 2025 where he helped initiate programs like the Knights’ Soccer Challenge, Free Throw Championship, Coats for Kids as well as assisting with many other programs in our Council over the years. God bless you and Meg. Thank you for setting an awesome example for your sons.

Congratulations to Brother Pat M. who was awarded Knight of the Month for December 2025. Pat is a 4th Degree Knight with 20 years of continuous service to our Council. He has served as a Family Director, worthy Warden and Grand Knight. He has contributed much to our Council over the years including buying name badges for MANY years, raising money for the Council by hosting the popular Auto Bell gift card sale, and participating in programs such as Birthchoice races, our Exemplification team, Knights’ 1st and 5th Sunday Rosary, pancake breakfasts, and fish fries to name a few. Thanks for your service to 12025- you are a big reason why the Council has thrived! God Bless you.

Congratulations to the Oyster Roast champion- Jim for being the November Knight of the Month! He is also one of our original members and one of only 2 Knights in the Council to serve as Grand Knight for more than 2 years. Jim managed to host it against all odds this year. This event is typically the only one that the Knights don’t have to cook. Fellowship never tasted so good.

Congratulations to Brother James for receiving the Knight of the Month award for October. James recently transferred to our Council and has jumped in with both feet. He’s a regular attendee of many of our Knight’s Rosaries and is a huge help with many of our recent events including managing the food station at our recent Trunk or Treat. Keep up the great work- you are an inspiration to all of us. God bless.

Congratulations to Brother Dan for being selected as the Knight of the Month for September. Since joining the Knights, he has been an active member of not only the Council but also the Our Lady of Lourdes Parish community. Dan is Head Usher, Head of School Security, arrives before everyone else to open doors and start coffee for many events, and supports most of our programs. He has become an integral force in our Council. Way to go Brother Dan!

It is our pleasure to announce that Fr. Patrick Keane is our August Knight of the Month. Not only is he a Knight himself but he has been a strong advocate for our Council and the Knights as a whole. We thank you for your dedication to Our Lady of Lourdes and the K of C, and wish you the best as you begin your new assignment.

We are beyond proud to announce that 4th Degree Knight- Bob Joyce, has been selected to be the Knight of the Month for July. He joined the K of C in 1967. The pictures are just a sample of the love and dedication that Bob has for the Knights. Every year since joining our Council, he has poured his heart and soul into all he does, usually while bringing Jan along for the ride. We Love you, Bob! Congratulations.

Congratulations to Anthony (Cajetan) our Knight of the Month for April. Anthony is a 4th Degree Knight for over 10 years. His dedication to the church and the Knights overflows. We recently were informed that he will be leaving the area. We will miss your smile and the example you set for us all. God bless you, Brother!
