March 2014

February 2014

The Knight of the Month for February is awarded to our Head Chef and “Cheese Blintz King” Stan Tax.

Thank you Stan for all the work you do for our council and parish.

January 2014

Chance Barkley

The Knight of the month award is given not just for work done in the Council setting but in the wider Parish and community. This month’s recipient has led efforts to revitalize the Young Adults ministry in our Parish, which is growing from strength to strength. I am pleased to announce, therefore, our Knight of the Month for January is Chance Barkley.

December 2013

Chris Diaz

One of the most rewarding items in my tenure as Grand Knight has been starting the Seminarian Caring Tree. This program provides for some of the needs and wants of the young men we support and/or are associated with our parish and council. This is the second year we have collected presents for them and it would not be possible but for the efforts of this month’s Knight of the Month. He contacts all of our Seminarians, no mean feat when they are scattered across the USA and this year even the Holy Land, researches the gifts they request and prints off easy gift sheets, which we distribute at the November business meeting. Once returned he ensures that they get to our Seminarians in time for Christmas (see related article on page 12). I am therefore happy to name Chris Diaz as the Knight of the Month for December.

November 2013

The Triece Brigade

In June, we awarded our first Pope Francis Award for Lifetime Achievement in Charitable Efforts to Harry Triece. The November Knights of the Month are those small band of Brother Knights who continue his legacy of picking up food from the local Tom Thumb and delivering car loads of donations to the Sisters of Charity. The Lumen Christi Council version of the Triece Brigade started in January 2009 and has continued this service without looking for any type of recognition, however I felt it was time to acknowledge all of their hard work and dedication. The current members of the Triece Brigade are: Jack Ayers, Larry Brennan, Bernie Crotty, Henry Dominguez, John Meyer, Larry Milliken, Ed Monaghan, Tobey Murphy, Ron Schott, Al Steindorf, Harry Storey, Jan Storey, Stan Tax, and Bob Wise.

October 2013

Al Steindorf

The Knight of the Month for October should not be a surprise to anyone. Yet again he led the largest fundraising weekend of the year setting new records and underpinning our budget for the fraternal year. For his leadership of Tamale Sales our Knight of the Month for October is Al Steindorf

September 2013

Stan Tax, Kelly Halaszyn, Chance Barkley, Justin Frerich and John Roberts.

September again saw the council active in making sure that this years fall festival went off without a hitch. While many of us helped on the preparation and weekend itself a small band of your brothers have spent many weeks making sure everything went to plan. Without their involvement, the event would not have been as successful as it was. September's Knights of the Month are pictured left to right at left are Stan Tax, Kelly Halaszyn, Chance Barkley, Justin Frerich and John Roberts.

August 2013

Fr. Tony, Fr Alfonse and Fr. Paul

As we have all seen, the last two months have seen major changes in our parish family with the departure of Bishop Mark and Fr. Vincent and the arrival of Fr. Tony and Fr. Alfonse. Change can be very unsettling especially when it is as significant as we have seen. It is thanks to our three priests that not only has the parish come through this period with no negative impact but has, in fact, experienced a new level of energy and enthusiasm which has been evident to many of us. It is therefore only right that the Knights of the Month for August are our priests, Father Tony, Father Alfonse and Father Paul (pictured left to right above).

July 2013

None Awarded

June 2013

NONE AWARDED

May 2013

Chris Diaz

The Knight of the Month is not normally awarded to an officer of the Council as they are expected to devote significant time and effort to the running of the council. However, as with all rules, there is always an exception and this is the case for the month of May. Our annual patriotic event this year returned to the high standards and parish participation that we had come to expect mostly through the determination and drive of one individual without whom this year’s event would not have been the success it was. Therefore, I am pleased to award the Knight of the Month for May to Chris Diaz.

April 2013

Ed Munno

After a successful Italian Dinner, which surpassed all our expectations, there was only one choice for Knight of the Month for April. Ed Munno orchestrated a great dinner topped off by his special short ribs and sausage tomato sauce (which he is preparing at right). Fund raising for the new communication system could not have come together so quickly without his help.

March 2013

Doyle Kitchen

The Knight of the month for March was Doyle Kitchen. This year we again presented the Marian Stations of the Cross and without Doyle's tireless attention to detail the two services would not have been as prayerful as they were.

February 2013

NONE AWARDED

January 2013

Deacon Richard Nelson

The Knight of the Month is Richard Nelson. Richard has demonstrated his love of God and the Church by accepting the call to serve as Permanent Deacon. As we all know from the wonderful talks he gives at each of our business meetings, Richard is going to be a great addition to the Parish Clergy and we look forward to his continued service to both our parish and Council.

December 2012

Kevin Finch

Kevin Finch is a great example of the message Grand Knights give to all new members, pick one thing you want to do from the calendar of events and get involved. Despite his busy schedule, he has taken on the role as one of our Sunday Morning Fellowship captains, a service program that has become so important to the life of our Parish. Our membership felt this to be an important aspect to being a knight and I concur. For this reason, we are delighted to award the Knight of the Month to Kevin Finch.

November 2012

Robert Mokry

The Knight of the Month for November is Robert Mokry. Robert is a recent addition to our council and has demonstrated his commitment to service by the number of events he has assisted at since becoming a Knight, in fact he worked at his first pancake breakfast before he made his first degree. It is great to see new knights step up and get active in our council and for this reason we are delighted to award the Knight of the Month to Robert Mokry.

October 2012

Al Steindorf

The Knight of the Month for October has played a key role since the start of what has become our only, but most successful fundraiser. While he is assisted by many of his brother knights (not enough sadly, as he is quick to point out) he has been the driving force in ensuring that we raise the funds we need to support our seminarians and the other activities of the council. It is with great pleasure to announce that the Knight of the month for October is awarded to Al Steindorf.

September 2012

Chance Barkley

The Knight of the Month is awarded not just for the work an individual Brother undertakes as part of a Council activity but also for his work in the Parish or Community as a whole. This month we recognize a Knight who answered the call to help ensure that our Parish fall festival was able to go forward this year. He coordinated the volunteer campaign. Without his work and the work of a few other new faces, our annual eventwould have been cancelled. Therefore, for all his work on this year’s fall festival the Knight of the Month for September is Chance Barkley.

August 2012

Jeff Stuart

The Knight of the Month for August was Jeff Stuart our Worthy Treasurer. Jeff has been a stalwart of ensuring we continue to provide the opportunity for Sunday Morning fellowship for the Parish community. While so many of the council assist in making this happen every week Jeff has graciously led this effort now for a number of years. It is with great pleasure that we award the Knight of the Month for August to Jeff Stuart.

July 2012

Doyle Kitchen

The Chalice for Vocations program was started under the tenure of Worthy PGK Chris Diaz and quickly became a visible manifestation of the Parish's desire to pray for vocations. For a number of reasons the program lost momentum and its visibility within the Parish. Thanks to dogged efforts of our Worthy Church Director, new life has been breathed into this program with many Parish organizations now taking part, so much so that we have now ordered a third Chalice. Therefore it is with great pleasure that we award the Knight of the Month for July to Doyle Kitchen.

May 2012

John Meyer

April 2012

Justin Frerich

Justin Frerich agreed to take on the responsibility of helping the Council find activities for the younger members of the Council in their 20's and 30's.

The team just completed their first season of play and is looking forward to next year.

April 2012

Larry Milliken

Larry Milliken stepped up to take on responsibility for the Triece Brigade Bread Run that benefits the Missionaries of Charity. In addition, Larry serves as Council Director and has coordinated the annual Lenten Dinners at All Saints. He also has coordinated food service for the spring and fall Little Saints picnics. Larry coordinates the food service for our annual Patriotic Event as well as the Officer Installation and Awards Dinner.

March 2012

Doyle Kitchen

Many of us have been involved in the spiritual aspects of our council and parish. Our Knight of the Month took it upon himself to see why the Rosary and Adoration for Vocations was not well attended. As a result he developed a new format for the service which he has given to Father Peter Chinnappan. In addition, he worked on helping to resurrect the Chalice for Vocations program. He was normally found scrubbing the pots and pans at the Lenten Dinners. He also was involved in creating the council binder for the Marian Stations of the Cross and our Rosary with Meditation. For his dedication to the church program, Doyle Kitchen is our Knight of the Month for March 2012.

February 2012

Chris Diaz

It is said that if you do something that you truly love, that you never work a day. I don't know if that is really true but I do know that Chris Diaz put in months of work to get the council directory and handbook published. The amount of work he did was very evident in the high quality publication that was made available to the council. It will be helpful for new members as well as establish veterans in our council. In addition, Chris continued to be involved in other Knight and parish activities. For all he does for the parish and our council, Chris was selected Knight of the Month for February 2012.

January 2012

Chance Barkley

Chance Barkley was selected as the Knight of the Month for January 2012. This has been a very busy time for Chance with the Substance Abuse Poster Contest and Basketball Free Throw Contest. He has also found time to continue his work as a Life Teen Core Team member as well as being a Lector and Eucharistic Minister for the Life Teen masses.

December 2011

John Arciniega

You never hear him complain about anything as he simply goes about doing his duties for the council and the parish. He serves the council as an Inside Guard and because of his diligence Warden Stan Tax never has to worry about anyone being in our meetings that should not be there. He also helps with the selling tickets and taking donations at the monthly pancake breakfasts. In addition, he volunteers in the parish library to assist in any way that he can. For his work both with the Knights and the parish, John Arciniega is our December 2011 Knight of the Month.

November 2011

Bob Wise

Whenever our Recorder has been unable to attend various meetings I know all I have to do is ask Bob Wise and he will be there to do the job he has done for the council in the past. Bob also chairs the monthly Golden Saints luncheons and is the Scribe for the Christopher Columbus Assembly. In addition, Bob serves as a lector for weekday masses and is a regular at Overnight Eucharistic Adoration and First Thursday Rosary and Adoration for Vocations. He recently join his brothers in selling tamales to help raise funds for our charitable works. In addition, Bob agreed to chair the Knights preparing the meals for the Ladies Day of Reflection. For all he does for our council and parish, Bob Wise is our Knight of the month for November 2011.

October 2011

Bob Pitts

Sometimes things operate so smoothly that we just take them and the person performing the task for granted. Such is the case with our worthy recorder, Bob Pitts, who usually has the minutes from our various meetings available for our review before most of us get home from that meeting. Bob takes delight in his volunteer activities for our council and has been known to get off an airplane from India and come right to our pancake breakfasts to fulfill his duty as senior "Pancake Flipper". Bob also serves the parish as a Lector and Eucharistic Minister. For his service to our council and our parish Bob Pitts is the October 2011 Knight of the Month.

September 2011

Stan Tax

He is here, he is there, he seemed to be everywhere at the Fall Festival were words that would describe our September Knight of the Month, Stan Tax. He worked on the committee to plan and put on this year's event. If it was preparing the grounds, serving beer or tamales or even picking up the waste so it didn't blow all over the place, these were activities that Stan was involved in over the weekend. In addition, he was one of those that spent most of the week prior to the festival setting things up for our enjoyment.

August 2011

Lee Ringham

A major emphasis in both the Dallas Diocese and the Knights of Columbus has been the implementation of a safe environment program. Our council has been working very hard to meet all the requirement of the Knights, our Diocese and our Parish. Heading this effort has been Lee Ringham who has worked many long hours to insure that we have the cleared adults required at all our events and report this information to the diocese. For all his hard work in keeping the Lumen Christi Council compliant with all the various requirements Lee is our Knight of the Month for August 2011.

July 2011

Doyle Kitchen

Doyle Kitchen was selected "Knight of the Month" for August 2011. His work in reestablishing the "Chalice for Vocations" is just one of the reasons for his selection. Doyle has also worked hard at taking over the Church Program from Brother John Poston. Besides his work in the Church Program, Doyle is a behind the scenes guy at many of our events. He likes to be in the kitchen doing the cleanup activities after Pancake Breakfasts and Sunday Morning Fellowship. Doyle is also the "favorite" council spammer, as he ensures the weekly Lumen Christi Weekly Updates get out each week.

June 2011

Henry Dominguez

Henry Dominguez was selected as the Knight of the Month for June 2011. Shortly after the Joplin, Missouri tornado some All Saints parishioners decided they needed to help. Henry immediately contacted his brother Knights with a request for help in gathering supplies and donations for the victims. He then helped with the collection effort and was part of the group that deliver the donated items and money to Catholic Charities in Joplin. Henry then got involved helping Joplin residents clear the debris. Henry is always there to help.

April 2011

Father Peter Chinnappan

Our Knight of the Month for April 2011 can usually be found around the All Saints facilities almost every day of the week. He has a deep rooted dedication to serving the spiritual needs of our parish. He is always offering encouraging words to his brother Knights and is not afraid to ask them to help with his special projects. One such project was the revival of the First Thursday Rosary and Adoration for Vocations. Attendance had slipped and he was intent on getting more parishioners to attend this event. He has worked hard to grow the attendance at this monthly event. For this and all he does at All Saints Father Peter Chinnappan is our Knight of the Month.

February 2011

Chance Barkley

Our Knight of the month answered the call when I asked a group to help with council communications. He helped us get established on Facebook and Twitter, which are two pieces of the social media phenomena. In addition to doing the setup he taught us how to use these new communication methods to help the council and ourselves. His willingness to help and get involved are why Chance Barkley is our Knight of the Month for February 2011.

January 2011

Al Steindorf

He is here, he is there, and he seems to be everywhere. These words would describe Al Steindorf, the Lumen Christi Council Knight of the Month for January 2011. Al was involved in our Sunday morning fellowship throughout the month of January. He helped with the Golden Saints luncheon and our monthly Pancake Breakfast. He was involved in our tamale sale at the bank and if that isn't enough, he serves the council as a Warden's Aide. In this role, Al helps the Warden get the Fellowship Hall set up for our business meetings. He also seems to be on permanentKitchen Police duty, as he always seems to be helping with the clean up after all our various events.

Joe Mock

The best way for a new Knight to understand what the Knights are all about is to get involved. Whether it be pancake breakfasts, Ronald McDonald House meals, tamales sales or any other event our December Knight of the Month got involved and has remained that involved. He assumed control of the sale of Lumen Christi Council merchandise and is involved in procuring items for the 2011 Texas State Convention country store. Joe Mock is our Knight of the Month for December 2010.

November 2010

Ed Munno

Some folks don't like to be seen but are always involved in our activities. Whether it be the Saturday Tamale Sales or clean-up activities after many of our activities. Our Knight of the Month is dependable and most folks don't realize that he was even at an event as he stays out of sight and is usually the last one to leave. In addition our Knight of the Month is involved in the finance council and stewardship committee here at the parish. I know he doesn't like the accolades but Ed Munno is our Knight of the Month.
