Mike and Piedad Verdiguel

Knights of Columbus Council 5052 gratefully recognizes the Mike and Piedad Verdiguel family as our family of the year for 2016-2017. Mike joined the Knights of Columbus in 1979, and joined the fourth degree five years ago. Mike was our Advocate last year and helps with many different events, including family dinners, events at the Historical Park, and the membership committee. He even was the DJ at the Sunday Social! Mike and Piedad are very involved with their grandchildren – including taking care of some of them during the day. It’s fun to hear Mike relate the latest stories about his grandchildren, and we get to see them often at dinners. Mike and Piedad are a very warm and giving couple, and we are blessed to have them in our council! Congratulations on the wonderful family that you have raised!


2015 - 2016

John and Norma Hennessy

John his wife Norma, daughter Kathryn and son-in law Jarred Long have given a wonderful example to fellow Knights of how a family should work together. John was Chancellor this year, Kathryn was the bookkeeper of the Council and Norma the bookkeeper of the Association and Jarred did many dinners including the Lenten dinners. They all worked at various events giving a visual example why they are the family of the year.


2014 - 2015

Ignacio and Thaedra Salazar

Ignacio and Thaedra Salazar are Family of the Year.
As a relatively new member, Ignacio Salazar has gotten really involved in many Council activities. It was not uncommon to see Ignacio and Thaedra working together. At many family dinners we see Ignacio and Thaedra in matching aprons cooking, serving delicious desserts prepared by a family member and cleaning up. This partnership was especially apparent with the golf tournament. Ignacio presented the golf idea last summer and, with Thaedra’s help, has continued to work on the project even after the prolonged rain delay. The tournament’s two charities, Vogel Alcove and Bea’s Kids, were their idea. They also solicited many of our golf tournament sponsors. Our Council is fortunate to have them. We are honored to name Ignacio and Thaedra Salazar as Family of the Year.
