Brothers, we are very pleased and honored to announce that the family of Brother Andy Thielan, was elected as the Family of the Month for the month of August 2011..

Andy’s family attended St. Mary’s parish, where he sponsored one of the $80 every 80 minute raffle in addition to volunteering at the bar in Giovanni hall during the St. Mary’s festival. Andy has volunteered at the St. Stephens family feast and participated in the dinners provided to us during our business meeting the last few months. His wife has served a few years as a member of the pastoral council and currently serves as its president. She volunteers heavily with St. Mary’s school and parish and is also a Eucharistic minister. Two of his sons currently attend Jesuit high school and he has another at St. Mary’s elementary. All of his son’s have served as altar boys. In show of support, his entire family showed up at both St. Mary’s festival and St. Stephens’s family feast. He also heads St. Mary’s basketball night. It is with much thanks and appreciation that this month’s “Family of the Month” is Andy Thielan’s Family.

Members of the Knights of Columbus Council 953 wishing the Andy Thielan family, MANY-MANY HAPPY YEARS!
