Angel Flores

This month, we are proud to recognize Angel Flores, one of our newest — and youngest —
Knights.

Angel truly hit the ground running after joining the Order. In a short amount of time, he has
stepped forward not only within the Knights, but also in service to our parish by volunteering as
a new Eucharistic Minister.

He has consistently made himself available for both church and council activities, volunteering at
Autumnfest, the Christmas Bazaar, and several of our monthly cookouts. Angel’s willingness
to serve, especially as a new Knight, speaks volumes about his character and his commitment to
faith, service, and fraternity.

Angel is a great example of the next generation of Knights, and we are grateful for his
enthusiasm, dedication, and readiness to help wherever he’s needed. Please join me in
congratulating Angel Flores, our Knight of the Month

Cliff Dunn

Cliff did an outstanding job leading our Coats for Kids fundraiser this year.

He coordinated every part of the campaign—preparing bulletin announcements, staffing the tables in the narthex, setting up cantor announcements at Mass including he and Randy Koslovski making
announcements. He also handled the delivery arrangements with MetroCrest. And thanks to his
idea to use printed donation envelopes, it was much easier for parishioners to contribute.

On top of all that, Cliff has stepped up to help Jim co-chair our blood drive program.

Cliff, thank you for your initiative and your commitment. Congratulations on being our Knight
of the Month.

Jim Marks & John Stewart and Special Recognition: Mike McCormick

This month, we have the honor of recognizing not one, but two Knights as our Knights of the Month: Sir Knights John Stewart and Jim Marks.

We’ve just wrapped up a record-breaking golf tournament—a tremendous success. While we often joke that the event runs itself, we all know the immense time and effort that go into making such an event successful.

These two gentlemen played a major role in not only organizing but ensuring the tournament’s success. While John and Jim would be the first to credit the team and everyone involved, it’s important to note that this achievement wouldn’t have been possible without their leadership and dedication.

Congratulations to Sir Knights John Stewart and Jim Marks! Your hard work and commitment are truly appreciated.

Additionally Special Recognition goes to Mike McCormick.

Our Pitmaster, Mike McCormick, along with the incredible smoking team, took our golf
tournament to the next level with their unforgettable chopped brisket. And just one week later, they were back at it again, smoking pork butts for Autumnfest.

Mike, your time, your expertise, and your generosity have fed both our stomachs and our spirits. As a small token of our appreciation, we present you with this Gladiator Series 12” brisket carving knife.
Thank you, Mike!

John Sullivan

Our Knight of the Month is SK John (Sully) Sullivan. Sully did an outstanding job leading the cooking team for our recent exemplification dinner—He even made his own spaghetti sauce from scratch!

He stepped up in a big way at our first cookout of the year, helping feed our youth and their families. And if that wasn’t enough, he was right back at it Sunday evening—playing guitar and singing with the choir at the 5pm Youth Mass.

Sully’s a great example of a Knight who serves with his talents and his time.

Steve Babick

We are very fortunate to have such a high-profile member in Mayor Steve Babick.

He has been instrumental in aligning our council’s efforts with the City of Carrollton’s available programs, such as home repair grants for those in need. Steve played a key role in coordinating logistics for our garage sale, and most recently, he has brought our council exposure to the community for sponsorships of our golf tournament.

His dedication, leadership, and community connections continue to elevate the impact of our council. We are proud to recognize Mayor Steve Babick as our Knight of the Month.

Karl Ninh

Karl joined our Council just this past December, and he wasted no time getting involved!
In just a few short months, Karl has embraced Knighthood! He has already become a Fourth Degree Knight, showing his commitment to the Order. And he has also volunteered his time to serve on the Golf Tournament Committee, helping make one of our major events a success. He has also gotten involved in several church ministries including our Armed Response Team and recently was commissioned as a Eucharistic Minister.
Karl’s dedication and willingness to serve in so many ways make him a true example of what it means to be a Knight.

Bob Bacon

This month, we recognize a Brother Knight who has gone above and beyond in service to our Council. He has done an outstanding job managing and regularly updating our Council website, ensuring our members stay informed and connected.
He currently serves as our Inside Guard and has accepted the responsibility of serving as Warden in the upcoming fraternal year.
He did an incredible job planning and executing our recent garage sale fundraiser. He dedicated significant time and energy not only to organizing and preparing the event but also worked every single day from start to finish. His leadership, dedication, and hard work were instrumental to the success of the garage sale — we truly could not have done it without him.
Congratulations to the “Baconator”
