Congratulations New Officers

Fiscal Year 2024-25 began July 1st for Mary’s Millennium Council #12801 Knights of Columbus and Ladies Auxiliary. This year’s officers were installed at a joint meeting on June 18th. Richard Lambke, District Deputy, and James Posch, District Warden, played an important role in these memorable installation ceremonies. Thank you for your time and your continued support of our council. 
New officers for the Knights are Richard Capinpin, Grand Knight; Gino Martinez, Deputy Grand Knight; Walter Niemczyk, Chancellor; Mark Arient, Recorder; Chuck Graziano, Financial Secretary; Thomas Witt, Treasurer; Alan Burnham, Advocate; Bill Henderson, Warden; David Arias and Jim Archibald Inside Guards; Stanley Kaleta and Jerry Rosenmeier, Outside Guards; Rick Collier, Lecturer; Gary Pappin, John Gurrieri, Sr., and Mike O'Dowd, Trustees. 

New officers for the Ladies are Monica O’Neill, President; Barbara Scheffki, Vice President; Grayce Gates, Secretary; Al Fruger, Treasurer; Diane Klaas, Eileenmary King, and Maria Roman, Trustees. 

The formal part of the evening ended as it had begun, in prayer. Through the intercession of Mary, Queen of the Knights, and Blessed Father Michael McGivney, Founder of the Knights of Columbus, we pray that these new officers will lead us in our mission of service to St. John’s parish and the community at large. 

Father Gregg, our Chaplain, thanked the Knights and Ladies for all their contributions to the parish and community, especially this year during these challenging times of the pandemic. 

Grand Knight, Richard Capinpin, made a few presentations and offered his thoughts on the accomplishments from the past fiscal year. Special thanks to all Outgoing Officers of the Ladies Auxiliary and Knights for your service. Everyone should be proud of our accomplishments. He also thanked Father Gregg, the parish staff, and all parishioners for their support of our council and auxiliary. 

After adjournment, we all enjoyed some cake, provided by the Ladies Auxiliary. One final note, a special THANK YOU to Mike Grant who is moving out of state. He has been a valuable asset to our council participating in every event, and serving various officer roles. You will be sorely missed!
