​Knight of the Month for September:  Oscar Arechavala

Oscar has been a committed Brother Knight, attending Council Meetings and exemplifications consistently as well as his steadfast work in our ongoing events involving food preparation and service. His humble commitment to selfless giving of himself is an inspiration, a comfort, and edifies the Bishop Grady Council as a whole. Thank you, Oscar!
