Every month, The Knights of Columbus, in consultation with Monsignor Eckert, select a family from Holy Trinity Parish as the Knights of Columbus Family of the Month.

The Knights of Columbus Family of the Month program promotes and supports the development of strong and vibrant families by recognizing the good work being done every day in the homes of our neighbors.  
Selected families bear witness to ties of service, faith, and exemplifying Catholic family values through contributions to Holy Trinity Parish and the greater community.  

Every month the family is honored at the Holy Trinity Knights of Columbus monthly business meeting. Each family receives a certificate of recognition and $25 Gift Card to Cafe Antonio on behalf of Msgr. Eckert.    

We periodically update the Parish bulletin to recognize the selected Family of the Month. To date, the following families have been awarded Family of the Month since the start of the 2019-2020 Council Year:

If you know a family who should be considered as Family of the Month, nominate a family here and include the family name and the detailed reason for their nomination.  Families do not need to be members of the  Knight of Columbus to be considered for this award.

Our Council created a new tradition to spread fraternity and unity amongst Brother Knights and their families. The Council hosted the first Knights of Columbus Family Mass in December. The Knights participated as Lectors, gift bearers, and children of Knights were the Altar Servers. Following Mass, the Council hosted the annual Family Christmas Party. These “Faith In Action” events have helped strengthen the Council, more importantly, one could presume these faith activities have led the council to welcome seven (7) newly degreed Knights, and deepen the bond between the Brothers and their families.   

Some of the nearly 20 families who attended our Council’s first Family Mass. We had over 50 people, Knights, prospective Knights, and their families, attend Mass then celebrate at the Family Christmas Party.
