Brothers,

I am pleased to share an update regarding the Recovery House Room project. Megan, the Associate Editor for the Knights of Columbus magazine, Columbia, recently contacted me to confirm our feature story in this month’s issue after seeing our Facebook post on our council page, a few months back. You can read a snippet about our project on the Community page of the magazine by clicking the link below:

If you receive a hard copy of Columbia in the mail, please be on the lookout for our feature. I would like to extend a special thank you to Brother Tom Weninger and Brother Tom Poppell for spearheading this project, and to our entire council for this great achievement.

​God Bless, Nicholas Leon, PDGK, Webmaster, Pinta Log Editor

Knight of the Month for April: Ricardo Diaz

Ricardo is a fully engaged and dedicated member and officer of our council and continues to be a valuable asset in strengthening membership involvement and participation through his role as Chancellor. Most notably, he responded without hesitation on short notice at the request of the District Deputy to assist in planning our council’s Sacred Heart Icon Holy Hour. Through his commitment, organization, and willingness to serve, the Holy Hour event was a great success. It is clear that his leadership and steady involvement played a significant role in bringing it to fruition, and we are grateful for the example he sets for our brother Knights.


If you would like to nominate a Knight of the month, submit a Knight of the Month Nomination form.​

Family of the Month for April: David & Melissa Weisman

David and Melissa exemplify the spirit of faith, family, and service that the Knights of Columbus strives to uphold.  David as a member of our council, and Melissa as a member of the CCW, faithfully serve both our parish and council through their many charitable efforts. They are being recognized as Family of the Month for their outstanding leadership in organizing the recent Family Picnic, helping create a welcoming and well-run event for all who attended. Their dedication and witness to service make them a true blessing to our council and an excellent example of Catholic family life. We applaud them for their strong example they set for all families in our community!
