Last week, our brother Knights and families gathered for a special evening at Our Lady of the Angels as Knights of Columbus Council 13341 installed our new officers for the fraternal year.
Congratulations to our new Grand Knight, Michael Mahan, and Deputy Grand Knight, Mark O'Brien, as they begin leading one of the largest and most active Knights of Columbus councils in the State of Florida. We pray that God blesses them with wisdom, strength, and faith as they continue our mission of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism.
A heartfelt thank you to our outgoing Grand Knight, Gordon Shellhaas, for his outstanding leadership, dedication, and countless hours of service. Under Gordon's guidance, our council continued to grow, strengthen our parish community, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Thank you for leading by example.
We were also blessed to receive a special blessing from Fr. Patrick, followed by a wonderful dinner celebrating another successful year of service.
The evening also recognized some truly deserving members:
🏆 Family of the Year: Sig and Connie Bartoszek for their unwavering commitment and volunteer spirit, especially through our Orioles baseball fundraising program and countless council activities.
🏆 **Knight of the Year: Dr. Richard (Rick) Kuebel, whose eight years of volunteer service as Medical Director for Community Pregnancy Centers has made an immeasurable impact. By reviewing ultrasound images for expectant mothers, Dr. Kuebel has helped support life-affirming decisions and continues to be a shining example of faith in action.
Our council continues to be a beacon of service in our parish and community. This past year, we are proud to have raised more than $100,000 for charitable causes, supporting organizations and ministries that make a lasting difference in the lives of those in need.
We are also honored that Council 13341 continues to be recognized across Florida for our commitment to Faith in Action:
🥉 3rd Place –Faith Activities
🥈 2nd Place –Life Activities
🥇 1st Place –Vocations Support
Here's to another year of faith, fellowship, and service!
