Knight of the Month for December:  Martin Homac

Martin became our Council's Membership Director in July, 2022. Martin helped update our membership onboarding processes and reporting to handle an increase in candidates. Through his efforts, our Council has added 5 new Knights since July.

​
St Mary Magdalen Ministry Support Staff

We appreciate and honor all of the SMM staff who support our Council's events and programs by reserving and setting up meeting rooms, coordinating our finances, security, communications and Masses. Their interactions are a blessing as they are helpful, kind and respectful; we see the Lord Jesus' love shining through them. Together, they act as a family, working together as an efficient team to serve us, their parishioners. Thank you Gail Rayos, Heidi Lewis, Kristina Blair, Mary Gulde, Mark Ayers, Debbie Karleskint, Melissa Findley, Adriana Rivera, Wanda Patkin and Vince Edman. 

​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?
