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!
Marco Ferrero, Grand Knight
Knights of Columbus Council 953
