Hand Family

We would like to nominate the family of Sir Knight Ted Hand as Family of the Month for October, 2020. Brother Ted was inducted into the Knights over 43 years ago. As a member of our council, Ted has volunteered his time to many of our programs and activities. Brother Ted has enthusiastically given his time and talent to co-chair the Lenten Fish Fry Dinners, as well as assist at Knight’s Breakfasts, Community Sundays, Wreaths Across America, and special events after Sacramental Masses. Brother Ted serves as the council’s Outside Guard, is the Faithful Navigator for Assembly 3300, and serves in the Light of The World Roman Catholic Parish Safe Sanctuary ministry. Brother Ted recently donated the use of his time, his truck, and trailer to the first ever Sock and Water Drive. He also volunteered at the Knight’s Food Booth at the recent Light of the World Craft Fair.
Brother Ted’s much better half, wife Nancy, is a member of the Ladies of the Knights. Along with volunteering at many of the Ladies and Knights activities, Nancy also recently volunteered her time to the Sock and Water Drive and the Ladies of the Knight’s Food and Beverage table at the Craft Fair. Nancy can often be found assisting with the unenviable task of clean up after many Knights and Ladies activities.
Most impressive, especially for Nancy, is the more than 50 years of marriage they have shared, during which they raised three now adult children.
For their wonderful example of a Catholic Marriage, and for their shared dedication to the Knights and Ladies of the Knights mission and causes, Ted and Nancy are a very deserving Family of the Month for October 2020.

Jim and Lori Fritz

We would like to nominate the family of Jim and Lori Fritz as Family of the Month for December 2019. Jim and Lori are long time parishioners of Light of the World Roman Catholic Church and have been married for 38 years. Lori recently retired from Jeffco Schools and Jim retired from Coors. Once a couple retires, they had to set a course for the years ahead. Lori and Jim decided to give back by helping as weekly volunteers at the parish Food Pantry. Which is one of the most impactful ministries of our parish, serving over 300 separate households in 2019, resulting in over 24,000 bags of food shared. Many who volunteer to help, play an unsung role, most recipients are not members of our parish. Food is donated and provided from a variety of sources and is sent to soup kitchens in the Denver area, as well as pantry clientele. It is open 52 weeks a year, as the need for food never goes away.

Being a volunteer for a shift a week is one thing, seeing the need to serve as a couple, in a leadership role is quite another. Lori also serves as volunteer on the church cleaning team. Former recipients of this award, John and Mary Walsh led the pantry for almost 2 years without any leadership support, working 6 days a week without interruption. About a year and a half ago, Lori and Jim asked if they could relieve John and Mary as the need arose. Since then they have become indispensable. Today, they are viewed as second-in-command, loved by the volunteers, and capable of making the decisions necessary to keep the pantry humming. John and Mary can now take time-off and extended vacations as desired, without losing a wink of sleep. They and Father Matt, have complete confidence in the work of Lori and Jim, to carry out the mission of the pantry.

We feel that Jim and Lori are worthy of this award in recognition of their service to Light of the World Roman Catholic Church and the residents of our surrounding Jefferson County Community.

As Faith Director Brother Larry has spearheaded the annual All Souls Mass, honoring our departed brothers and family members. At brother Larry’s side at virtually all these activities is Suzanne. Suzanne’s attitude, enthusiasm and willingness to serve are infectious. Both Larry and Suzanne recently lent their time and talents to support the Bitner Memorial 10K/5K run/walk to honor law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty and provide support for their families. Both answered the call to serve their community and provide support to a fellow parishioner that requested Knight’s assistance. Larry and Suzanne are true representation of a Knight’s “power couple”. Both are also Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, serving at weekly and Holy Day Masses. By their tireless, consistent, and sustained excellence in effort and service, Larry and Suzanne are shining examples of all four tenants that are the foundation of our Brotherhood and Fraternal Organization. Through their example, Brother Larry and his wife Suzanne are helping to foster and encourage values that will inspire our next generation of future Knights and Lady Knights.
We feel that Brother Larry and his wife Suzanne are worthy of this award in recognition of their service to Council 12567 and Light of the World Roman Catholic Church.

Respectfully submitted,
Officers of Council 12567

Mo Michel

The family of the month for April 2017 is Mo and Lucy Michel. They joined our faith community of Light of the World approximately 3 years ago and have been active volunteers in virtually every Knights sponsored activity as well as parish-wide activities. They are a couple with servant hearts.

This special man, Mo, contributes his time and energy, tirelessly, to virtually every cause that the Knights undertake. After undergoing a medical setback earlier this year, Mo returned to give it his all during Lent He regularly showed up to work with the preparation team for the fish fry’s and worked as part of the kitchen crew into the night. He never asked for relief and only took breaks when his team members would ask to relieve him from his post. He was on his feet for several hours when much younger men would have found reasons to stay home. He is an inspiration to all who watch him work. In September and October each year he is invaluable to the Tootsie Roll Drive, as he cheerfully works in the hot sun. He contributes his time at events too numerous to mention. He is a very kind man who never has to be asked to help out.

This special lady, Lucy, is an equally invaluable member of the Ladies of the Knights. Lucy is a regular volunteer at fish fry’s, contributing and serving desserts from open to close. She works with the Ladies every community Sunday, contributing generously to the raffle baskets, serves at the First Holy Communion and Confirmation receptions, and helping at the Guadalupe dinner. At the Ladies parish event in December, she generously and graciously hosted a table. As with Mo, the list is much longer than there is space for.

We are blessed to have Mo and Lucy in our parish and in our Knights family. They are a role model for all couples looking to get involved in the Knights.

The family of the month for January 2017 is an invaluable part of the extended family of Knights of Columbus Council 12567; the Ladies of the Knights. We recognize the Ladies for their selfless contribution to Light of the World Parish and our council throughout the year. They donate countless hours as well as their treasure to fundraise, through raffle baskets and desserts at Lenten fish fry’s, for the purpose of supporting the Seminarians selected by our council. They more than achieve their goal of raising $2000 every year. They also support celebrations of the Confirmation and First Eucharist programs each May and will support the Marion Icon program next month by cutting and serving desserts.

November and December of 2016 were particularly eventful for the Ladies as they baked and distributed bread for the Thanksgiving Mass, provided desserts for the All Souls Mass and Guadalupe Dinner, and put on a beautiful and inspirational ladies-only free event for over 200 ladies of our parish and the surrounding faith community. It took months of preparation and sacrifice on the part of their core group to make this event happen.

We thank the Ladies of the Knights for their unwavering commitment to our parish and Council 12567.

Luis Naegele

Family of the Month December 2016

Former Grand Knight and Former Trustee Luis Naegele, his wife Monica and daughter Chelsea volunteered, after a three year absence, to chair our 2016 Guadalupe Dinner. The event was a great success because of the efforts of our membership, but especially because of the many hours of planning, shopping, budgeting and cooking done by the Naegele Family.

The menu was prepared “from scratch” using time consuming family recipes to create a traditional Mexican Dinner for our parish, honoring the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Luis has held many volunteer positions with the Council, including fish fries, parish breakfasts, Council First Degree Team and as Chair for prior Guadalupe dinners, just to name a few events.

Brother Luis' wife Monica is a very active member in the council's “Ladies of the Knights” working many Community Sunday's preparing and selling Lattes to raise funds for the Councils seminarian support.

The family has assisted at the yearly church Memorial Mass. Luis and Monica are captains in the Safe Sanctuary ministry and many other church events too numerous to mention.

Brother Luis and Monica are primary participants, for years, in the community's Carron Coffee House, a non-profit program which provides recreational, social and spiritual interaction for adults with intellectual disabilities. It is hosted at LOTW Church

The Naegele family exemplifies the type of family that highlights the Council’s activities and to what we, as a group of Brothers stand for. They are truly deserving of this award.

The winning family of this month’s Family of the Month award for Knights of Columbus Council #12567 could literally win this award every month.

A similar pattern exists at the Parish Breakfasts, with our Brother Knight diligently working in the kitchen while his fair Maiden is assisting the Ladies in Lux Mundi Hall. This dynamic duo is also active in other ministries, being part of the Safe Sanctuary team for the 10:30 am Mass. Finally, this wonderful couple, along with their daughter Chelsea, helped prepare the meal for the Membership Drive Dinner last week.
It is our pleasure to present the April 2016 K of C Family of the Month award to Past Grand Knight Luis Nagele and his family. Luis, Monica, and Chelsea are the ultimate examples of humility, service, and selflessness and are deserving of this award and recognition.
