John Crouse

John and Joanne Crouse do so much for the St. Mary's Parish, much beyond their positions within the parish. Joanne is selfless and giving, always ready to help out anyone in need. John not only works for the Parish, but is every Sunday counting the collection and almost every Friday running the cash room for the Knight's Bingo. Even their son Jonathan (also a Knight) helped out with our last Wedding Rental.

Ray Sears

Ray, Emory, Brooke and Karen supported the Carnival. The Sears Family was finally in town every day of the Carnival. Even the days they had other activities Emory and Ray help to get items ready to start each day.

April 2016

Mihm

The Mihm Family, Parents of new DEACON Joe Mihm are our Family of the Month. They should be the Family of the Future as they in their raising and teaching of Joe, has brought the Catholic Church a great young man who will no doubt be a leader in the Church. We have been so blessed to have Joe Mihm as one of our supported Seminarians and as a member of our Council. Joe has come out and worked our Carnival and even came out to play on our Softball Team, if you remember the picture on our website titled "PADRE POWER". THIS WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF NOT FOR HIS PARENTS. THANK YOU.

March 2016

Don and Louise Bunker

Don and Louise Bunker are a force for good. Their tireless work to make TWO Easter Egg hunts, held on the same day in different locations, a great success. I won't say how but one of them was instrumental in getting the Easter Bunny to make an appearance at St Mary's Easter Egg Hunt. Countless hours finding the best deals for candy and filling hundreds and hundreds of eggs to be hidden. Then they help setup and take down. We could not do such an involved event without their help.

February 2016

Families of Ken & Tim Connelly

The Connelly Family has given a great deal to the Annapolis Council, the Catholic Church and community. Tim Connelly passed away in February. Tim was 27 years a member of Knight in Annapolis Council, joining in 1988, and he brought in his Father Ken Connelly (Past Grand Knight) in 1989. Both later became 4th Degree Knights. Ken Passed away last year. We thank the entire Connelly family for their commitment to our Council, our Order, and recognize their deep Faith in our Lord and The Church.

December 2015

Ray Sears Family

In December, possibly the first for Annapolis Council, a third generation Knight and member of Annapolis Council came into being. Raymond Emory Sears followed in the path of his Father Ray P and his grandfather Ray L and joined the ranks of Knights of Columbus in Annapolis Council. The contribution of the Sears Family to the Annapolis Council is special and an example to all how to bring the entire family into the Knights. It is not just the "Rays" but Robert, Richard, Rose, Karen and Brooke that make this extraordinary. To list all their impacts both within the Council, The Parish, St. Mary's School, the Community would frankly be impossible. Annapolis Council is indebted to this Sears Family with much of the Council's accomplishments over the last 42 years directly tied to their efforts. THANK YOU.
