Holy Family Council of the Knights of Columbus
The Holy Family Council of the Knights of Columbus began recruiting in
November 2006. Previously, men who belonged to the organization affiliated
with the Tri-County Council. The Supreme Council now prefers that parishes
have their own councils and Holy Family had reached the size where this would be
possible.
The Knights of Columbus held an informational meeting in January. Holy
Family Council 14266 had its first meeting June 10, 2007, with 40 members.
The council's f irst officers were: Grand Knight, Jim Edwards; deputy grand knight,
Stephen Cook; chancellor, Bill Ball; recorder, Norman Schmalz; treasurer, Larry Boeshart;
financial secretary, Bill Wewers; advocate, Chris Teel; warden, Tom Belisle; inside guard,
Andrew Lester; outside guard, Harold Heilman; trustee, John McClendon;
trustee, Tom Lussen; and trustee, Ricky Scola.
The council instituted an aluminum can collection and monthly Sunday
breakfasts. They help fund youth activities with bingo nights and other functions.
They cook for the parish picnic, welcoming and youth events, and bingo.
They painted the parish hall in June 2010.
