Grand Knight’s Message July 2022
Worthy SKs and Fellow Brothers,
It is an honor to share the following official announcement:
LOCAL KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL 953 RECEIVES TOP AWARD
Sacramento Knights of Columbus Council 953 has received the distinction of Star Council, the international organization’s top award for local councils.
The Star Council Award recognizes overall excellence in the areas of membership, promotion of
fraternal insurance benefits, sponsorship of faith formation programs and service-oriented activities.
During this challenging year, Council 953 adapted and continued to stand in the breach, serving our brothers, families, parishes, and communities. The Supreme Council recognizes these achievements and acknowledge the hard work of the brother knights under Council 953.
Throughout the 2021-2022 year, Council 953 has worked diligently to achieve STAR Award under the Spiritual guidance of their Chaplain Father Davy of St. Mary’s Parish.
Some of the Council’s highlights of the Columbian Year include ProLife Fundraisers, March for Life, Novenas, Intellectual Disability, RSVP for Seminarians, Habitat for Humanity, Vocation Dinner assistance, Veterans Benefit Dinner, Sacramental Gifts, Family of the Month, Sacred Heart Altar Society Cookie Drive, Bishop Gallegos Home Gift Drive and Prayers in The Pew to name just a few!
Our council’s award plaque will be shipped to our Worthy District Deputy Mike Amparan for a later presentation.
For information on joining the Sacramento Knights of Columbus contact local Membership Director Bob Willett at (916) 485-7939 or bob@sacramentohomes.net.
As our New Columbian Year has just began, we started the month of July with our PGK/Ol Timer’s Dinner and Installation with our Chaplain Father Davy in attendance with new Pastor to Sacred Heart, Father Richards. We celebrate our Knight of the Month Devin Rodgers and Family of the Month Ricardo Saldana who’s wife Monica was the First Lady honored to lead a Chapter Rosary in it’s history! The donation check from the last Cookie Drive was made out to the Sacred Heart Altar Society and delivered by our ProLife Director Al Fernandez. We also presented Bishop Soto with our annual donation to the Bishop’s Fund during the State Chapter Dinner in Vallejo.
I also wanted to take this moment to say thank you to our Brother Steve Mills who has served for years as our Hall President and to congratulate our new incoming Hall President Brother Tom Nulk!
Thank you Brothers for your continued inspiration and work in the name of our Lord as Catholic Men! May we continue to make proud our past Brother Knights and continue on the legacy began by our founding Council of 1905!

St Peter & St Paul/KofC 953 new social media page!
Hello SKs and Fellow Brothers,
We celebrate two great saints today, Saints Peter and Paul. Saint Peter is often considered the Apostle to the Jews and Saint Paul to the Gentiles (based, most probably, on his extensive travels among the Gentiles). Together they witnessed to the budding of Christianity, and both laid down their lives for the faith.
Peter, who was also known as Simon Peter of Cephas, is considered the first Pope. Despite his papacy, Peter had humble beginnings and became one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He was ordained by Jesus in the “Rock of My Church” written in Matthew 16:17-18, which says, “Jesus replied, ‘Simon son of Jonah, you are a blessed man!
The Apostle to the Gentiles, St Paul was the greatest missionary in history. A Pharisee converted to Christ, his concern for expounding the faith to those, who heard him, would make him the first Christian theologian. His martyrdom is remembered on June 29, together with that of St. Peter.
