Bill Twohig

“Council programs and activities help foster a sense of fraternity and family in the Knights of Columbus community.”

This describes the role that Bill Twohig plays in his support of our council and parish. His involvement includes planning and scheduling dinners and outings for the council such as attendance at Smokies Baseball games, corporate communion dinners, Christmas dinners, Engaged Encounter Dinners and the Charity Recognition Dinner.

Brother Twohig conceived the idea of developing a SCRIP Program which allows parishioners to purchase gift cards at face value, and provide a percentage return from the businesses to the council and parish. There are approximately 780 companies from which the parishioner can purchase cards. The program is time and labor intensive of which he has dedicated both in the management of the program to insure its success.

Brother Twohig has been instrumental in establishing our First Degree Exemplification Team. The team has conducted the exemplification of approximately ten new members this year.

He serves as team leader for one of the council’s Pancake Breakfast teams. The teams provide the breakfast on the first Sunday of each month. The meal has proved to be a success providing income to support our three seminarians.

Additionally, he is a member of the Veterans Committee and serves as its recording secretary.
