Jaime Bouchan

Congratulations to Jaime Bouchan for being selected as Knight of the Month for November 2012. During the past month, Jaime was one of the leading force for the Annual Parish Carnival. Jaime was quick on his feet since the event is typically held outside but with the rain, he had to help coordinate the move indoors. With his coordination, the carnival was a big success. Also, Jaime is very active with CHRP at the Parish . This was the first CHRP to use the new facilities , rooms, and the wing between the church and the Parish Hall. Previously, they were using the Administration Building to host this semi-annual event. But with Jaime dedication and support, the men of CHRP 22 had a rewarding and enriching weekend.. We appreciate Jaime’s support of Knight and Parish events and award him November’s Knight of the Month.

October 2012

Vincent Alonzo

Congratulations to Vincent Alonzo for being selected as Knight of the Month for October 2012. During the month, Vincent was a lead force with supporting all the activities that concern’s Pro-Life. Vincent participated at the Hike for Life that occurred on October 6th, but he was the leader of raising the most money for the council of over $700 that he personal raised. Also, Vincent dedicated his time during St. Jude’s 40 Days of Life which happened at the Southwest Abortion Center on October 14th. We appreciate Vincent’s support of Pro-Life and award him October’s Knight of the Month.

September 2012

Jim Chase

Congratulations to Jim Chase for being selected as Knight of the Month for Sep- tember 2012. Jim is very active in any activities that the Knights has done. During the month, Jim participated at BBQ-to-Go. With his help, we were able to prepare enough Brisket to supply not only the weekend BBQ sales, but also CHRP weekend, the Parish Carnival brisket tacos, and the upcoming 4th degree exemplification. We appreciate Jim’s dedication to all Knight’s functions and award him Septem- ber’s Knight of the Month.
