Knight of the Year – Al Ferrigno

The evaluation for Knight of the Year is based on a Knight’s involvement within the Council, the Knight’s involvement within the Parish, and the Knight’s involvement within the Community. This year the council officers felt that a particular Knight has made significant contributions to the parish and the parish community.

The 2025-’26 Knight of the Year is Brother Al Ferrigno. Al made a significant contribution to the Parish by fabricating the Stations of the Cross for the Church Prayer Garden. Al leads the Parish Trivia and the new Bingo social activities. Al is also an active supporter of the Special Olympics organization.

Thank you, Al, for your support to the Parish and the Parish Community.
