| KNIGHT OF THE MONTH is Seamus Murphy. Seamus and his wife of 19 years, Antoinette, have four children. Seamus is a Third Degree Knight who joined our council in 2008. He helps with Waunafest, the pancake breakfast, the 2nd and 3rd Degree, Relay for Life and is a Eucharistic Minister. His most satisfying volunteer work is praying the Rosary at the Manor. Seamus recently commented, "The folks really appreciate it and I know the time we spend means so much to them. It is also a parenting opportunity. My children are learning not to forget the people living at the Manor and they learn to pray the Rosary." Congratulations Seamus. Our council is stronger because of you! | |||||||||
