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.

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.

Family of the 1st Quarter 2011
Dear Bro. Gary:
I am pleased to inform you that the Officers of Council 11293 nominated you and Rebecca as the Family of the Quarter for the 1st quarter of 2011. This is in recognition for your continuous witness to Pro-Life, your prayerful support and Rebecca counseling pregnant mothers on the sidewalks of the abortuary.
In the encyclical letter, Evangelium Vitae, Pope John Paul II writes “With humility and gratitude we know that we are the people of life and for life, and this is how we present ourselves to everyone.” This is how Rebecca and you present yourselves in your ministry. You epitomize the “people of life”.
Please join us at the monthly business meeting on 20-Jan for the council to formally thank you and recognize you among your brother Knights.
Fraternally
Bro. Colin.
