Knight of the Month
Each month a Knight of this Council is selected the Knight of the Month because of his contribution to the success of the Council and/or by his actions that demonstrated his commitment to the principles of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity. He could be awarded Knight of the Month for his efforts on a specific event or an accumulation of actions that warrant his selection. Nominations are garnered by members of the Retention Committee. The merits of these nominees are then discussed until the committee is in agreement of a single to be awarded the honor of Knight of the Month
Family of the Month
Each month a family is selected to receive the Family of the Month award because of the contribution the family made to the welfare of the Council or the Parish community in general. Consideration is given to all family members when selecting the Family of the Month. Good works come in many forms and all will be considered when making this selection. Any Knight can nominate a family for consideration by the Family Director. All Knights in good standing are eligible to receive this award. The Family Activity Director administers this award from nomination through awarding of the certificate
