Bill Culhane is Knight of The Month for February 2012

Knight Bill Culhane, Knight of the Month, February 2012

At the February meeting of the St. Mary of Huntley Knights of Columbus Council #11666, the trustees selected Bill Culhane as Knight of the Month for February 2012, recognizing work in the parish ministry, Christ Renews His Parish Men’s Renewal Weekend.

For a Catholic man looking to deepen his faith and connection to the parish community, the Christ Renews His Parish renewal weekends are very beneficial. These weekends for Men are offered periodically throughout the year.   The men participating in these weekends, including members of the St. Mary of Huntley Knights of Columbus Council, find their faith being renewed and strengthened.

Bill has devoted much of his time helping with the preparations for the presentations, discussion and the celebration of the sacraments and prayer for the Christ Renews His Parish Men’s Renewal Weekend
