Knight of the Month for February:  
Dominick Fiorentino


​Dominick organized this year's Tootsie Roll Drive. He worked with 3 Publix store managers to get approvals for a weekend event and he set up an online signup process for 18 slots. On both days, he delivered materials and picked up money after each shift at each store. The drive raised $1,823 which was donated to Morningstar Catholic School. We could not have achieved this success without Dominick's leadership!

​Family of the Month for February: 
John and Marsha Bowers

John and Marsha are the friendly faces of our weekly Fish Fry Dinners as they cheerfully clear and clean the tables. They remove dinner objects as customers finish eating so they can socialize on a clean table. They mop the floors when necessary and remove the trash from the bins when they are full. It's the subtle things they do that make for an enjoyable dinner experience and one reason why we have so many repeat customers. God's love shines forth from these humble servants as they serve our parishioners with love. ​
​
​We applaud them for their strong example they set for all families in our community!


If you would like to nominate a Family of the Month, submit a Family of the Month Nomination form.  Each family should stand out as an exemplary model to others in the parish. They should meet the following criteria:
  • Is the family tight knit? Does the family spend quality time together?
  • Does the family attend weekly Mass together? Does the family pray together outside of Mass?
  • Has the family made significant contributions to the parish and church community?
  • Does the family serve as a model of Catholic family values?
