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!

Congratulations to Thomas Enzweiler for being elected Knight of the Month for February.

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.

Paul is a 75-year-old with 39 years of continuous service to the Knights of Columbus. He is an Honorary Life member. He towers over most of his brothers but is truly a gentle giant. He has been with our Council for about 4 years but has been an incredible addition to our crew. He has become our Executive Chef for most events that involve cooking. He has prepared pancakes for over 300 people and makes it look easy. He has brought tray after tray of delicious desserts for several Knights functions. His leadership in the kitchen has taken us out of our comfort zone and has made the Council shine. He is a loving husband and never seeks praise. He attends all our Exemplification Ceremonies to support new Knights and is a joy to everyone he meets. He is a regular fixture at our business meetings and is involved in many of our programs. He is active with OLL School and has assisted with judging the Science Fair as well as the Catholic Citizenship Essay Contest. We would like to honor him by making him our very first Knight of the Month. God bless you and Vivat Jesus!
