Father Joseph Bergida
Father Bergida has been an exemplary priest, Council Chaplain, and Knight! During this month, Father Bergida led the Council in a Marian retreat to "Mary of Sorrows" Catholic Church wherein we prayed the Sorrowful Mother Chaplet. Father Bergida also led the Council in the inaugural "Pints with Aquinas" Faith-Formation-and-Fellowship session on 9/29. Pints with Aquinas was well attended (nearly 40 Knights); it consisted of a fire-side chat on a theological discussion (e.g., Angelology and Spiritual Warfare) then we had lager beer tasting and fellowship. Father Bergida's efforts were instrumental in raising the morale of the Council and Knights are still talking about how much they enjoyed this engagement. |

Brother Phil Bettwy
For exemplary and commendatory performance as a Knight of the Columbus Order (KofC) while assigned as Financial Secretary and a myriad of other duties during July 2023. During this period, Brother Bettwy sought to rally the Saint John Bosco #12846 Council into doing "something big" and motioned to use $20,000 of Council funds, matched by another $20,000 from Supreme Council, for a grand total of $40,000 in order to procure a brand-new 4D Ultrasound Machine in supporting of the KofC's "Aid and Support After Pregnancy" efforts in preserving and promoting Life. Brother Bettwy followed up the promotion with making contact with the Tepeyac Pregnancy Support Center in Fairfax, VA and connecting with the Supreme Council to secure the matching funds. Brother Bettwy's motion was passed unanimously. During July 2023, Tepeyac received the $40,000 donation. His professionalism, selflessness, and diligence inspired all those who observed him. Brother Bettwy's positive attitude, initiative, and loyal dedication to duty reflected great credit upon himself and were in keeping with the highest principles of Charity of the Knights of Columbus Order. |
