Before receiving the call to the priesthood, he worked as Systems Analyst for Citigroup/Banamex. He earned a BS in Business Administration/Information Technology from Colorado Tech University and an MS in Information Systems from Stevens Institute of Technology. He married, and later considered becoming a deacon. Then in 2013 his wife died and he decided to become a priest. From his marriage he has a 22 year old daughter who has a BS degree in biology.

Kevin has been a Knight since Oct 2005. His father was a Knight for many years but gradually dropped out. He died in1996 and just a few days later a Knight insurance agent knocked on the door with a check. This impressed Kevin. The family didn’t know he had a policy with the Knights.

Kevin’s brother is a Knight. Several Knights at Elizabeth Ann Seton parish encouraged him to join and he finally did join that council. He helped build the Knights hall at EA Seton parish. It had been an air-conditioned horse hospital until the parish bought the land.

Kevin is a remodeling and construction contractor and has travelled widely. It was while he was on a job in McAllen TX that he met his wife Hazel who lived across the border in Mexico. She spoke no English and he spoke no Spanish but they fell in love and were married. They have been married 10 years and have 3 daughters. Hazel is now a US citizen. His Spanish is not yet as good as her English now.

Kevin has been in Council 10930 since March 2010.

His hobby, for the duration, is remodeling his own home

Bill Vosberg

Bill Vosberg serves as council Warden and brings the beverages and pizzas for the Council 10930 membership meetings.
He became Sir Knight Bill after the Fourth Degree Exemplification this past October. He is a hospitality minister at 10:00 mass and helps with highway cleanups. This year Bill led the effort to remake the “Keep Christ in Christmas” float that carries the St Thomas and Holy Trinity Youth Group in the Parade of Lights and River Oaks Parade sponsored by Council 10930.
Bill Vosberg has been attending church at St Thomas since 1968 when his family moved here from Wisconsin. Bill married his wife Pat 11/17/1973. Bill and Pat have three children, Crystal, Kevin, Kimberly, and a granddaughter Maya Dawn Jackson.
Bill is owner of Big and Small repair shop. Although Bill is rather small in stature, he fixes the biggest commercial mowers, while his associate, a rather large man, works on the smaller engines.
We are glad to recognize Bill as Knight of the Month for January, especially after he experienced a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) earlier this week resulting in admittance into JPS hospital. After a bank of thorough tests, Bill was discharged from the hospital. Thanks to early recognition of stroke symptoms and a well-timed aspirin, he is back at work. There is a lesson in this for all of us
