Knight of the Month Family of the Month May Fr. Brian Chabala Fr. Brian was the driving force behind the creation of a K of C council at St. Fabian Parish. Through his foresight and support, Council 13362 was established as a men’s fraternal organization that would help in both supporting the parish and providing a men’s group focused on faith, community, and charity. Father’s support and encouragement has been an essential element in the success and growth of the council. His legacy and example will ensure continuity within the council. June Keith DeVore, Recorder Sec. Keith DeVore is a brother Knight who is always willing and eager to assist when required. When the recent council picnic was being planned, although it was no longer his responsibility, Keith stepped up to coordinate the pot luck donations for the picnic as well as take on the task of cooking all the burgers and dogs. His leadership and participation went a long way to making the annual council picnic the best one yet. May John Sgalia PGK Over the past two years, our council has continued to grow and flourish under the leadership of GK John Sgalia. The council took on the coordination of the annual parish picnic, created the Confirmation Crucifix program, established links with St. Coleman parish, increased the focus on Right to Life, and drove further support for vocations by expanding the number of seminarians supported. Council 13362 has continued a record of success under John’s leadership. June Sir Bob Allison PGK When the council started in 2003, the first hurdle was the creation of a leadership team. Bob Allison volunteered to take on that task. It was through Bob and Suzann Allison’s example that helped the council succeed in those early years. Ever since, Bob and Suzann have continued to provide an ongoing example of what being a family in the Knights of Columbus means. Bob has continued to be a very active and supportive Past Grand Knight. July Hugh Caverly One of the essential tasks prior to the regular pancake breakfasts sponsored by the St. Fabian Council 13362 Knights of Columbus is picking up the supplies required for a successful event. Hugh Caverly has been a brother Knight who consistently offers to take on this task. Hugh has done this quietly and efficiently. His willingness to assist has smoothed the planning of the events and simplified the overall process. July The Trustees, Adrian VanBourgondien John Goshorn Our council has concentrated much of its attention on Charity and Youth. Over the years, John Goshorn has been a leader in supporting both focus areas. His involvement in Rebuilding Together and the annual parish Youth Group Appalachia trip highlight his dedication and support of youth, community, and charity. John could not be so involved it not for the support and encouragement of his wife, Regina. John and Regina Goshorn have annually made it a very high priority. Knight of the Year Sir Adrian VanBourgondien, Trustee Adrian is among the first to volunteer to help with any of the council’s many charitable causes. He initiates and organizes the annual mass and reception to honor the members of the Military in the parish. This year he took charge of the new Baby Bottle drive, and made it into a huge success. He is also a very active participant in the Charity Poker, Housing the Homeless, Youth Free Throw, MI Drive, Youth Essay reviews, and other council activities. Page 8
