We are men who lead, serve, protect and defend, whether we are giving out Coats for Kids, donating wheelchairs, lending a helping hand in disaster relief efforts, supporting local pregnancy centers or providing top-quality financial products.
Jeff has been in the communications business for a life time, in semiretirement he is still a freelance writer for the Texas Catholic, Texas Monthly, the Associated Press plus does some local pro-team game summaries (for the Rangers, Mavs and Stars). Jeff’s also written a book named Teammates For Life which documents how the Auburn football team members have remained connected in activities and association for over 50 years. Jeff even wrote these illustrious articles for our Knights for many years! Jeff joined the Knights in 1997 at the invitation of previous Grand Knight Bill Chalko and became a 4th Degree Knight along with Larry Balagna. As a Knight, Jeff has served as Recorder, Chancellor, and Deputy Grand Knight…working to live the Knight’s title of being the ‘strong right arm of the Church.’ Jeff lives in accord with James 2:26, “I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works” so he serves our Parish as a Lector, Come Follow Me volunteer and 50th Anniversary committee volunteer. Jeff’s wife, Francis, may be even more active than Jeff in Parish service now that she has retired from a 20-year career as an administrator for an outpatient emergency care provider. Francis now serves on the Holy Spirit Finance Committee, Outreach Homebound ministry and delivers Meals on Wheels (and Jeff helps where he can). Jeff and Francis are models of “Teammates For Life” here at Holy Spirit! Family of the Month June 2023
