Marathon Aid Station
The sun isn't up yet and when you're the first stop for water or GatorAde a couple miles into a marathon, someone needs to be on hand ready or there will be some very unhappy runners. Fortunately, we filled thousands upon thousands of cups by the time the first runners were seen in the distance. Where did all the cups go? Strewn on the roadway for a hundred yards. Yes, we got to pick up the cups too.
Knight of the Month Bob Stevens
Our Knight of the Month for January 2026 is Bob Stevens.
Robert “Bob” Stevens never has to be asked to participate in Knight functions; he simply volunteers. Bob is a stalwart member of the Knights kitchen team and always participates when the call to serve is requested. You can always find Bob at the pancake breakfasts, and always with a broad smile. Bob is selfless, always representing the council with dignity, pride, and honor in serving the community and parish.
Congratulations on being Council 12017’s Knight of the Month.
Polar Plunge
Dang, was it cold! Water temperature was 48 degrees but felt much colder. Nevertheless, the stalwarts were there to represent all those that chose to stay home in front of the fireplace. Maybe next year.
Pictured left-to-right are our octogenarian Ken Oleary, Program Director Larry Greer, Webmaster Greg Decker, Oleary's daughter Marnie Lockard, and LAMB Chairman Tim Niggel.
As we continue our Lenten journey, consider coming to the Parish Lent Retreat on the theme of the Beatitudes, and how we can make the future joy present. The focus of the retreat will include video of Fr. Sebastian Walshe, O.Praem, reflecting on thoughts from his book Heart of the Gospel. Co-facilitators will be John Clyatt and Terrie Baldwin.
Registration is necessary by registering at Lent Retreat or by leaving your name and phone number with Terrie Baldwin at (910) 880-1282.
