This is the second time that the Keearns have been named Family of the Year for our Council. They are the heart of the Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter Basket Program, working with the Knights, the Ladies of Sacred Heart and the Men's Club. They have helped sell hams, cooked for several Mardi Gras parties and work at Jackson House on a regular basis.

Ed serves as a court appointed Special Advocate for CASA, tutors at Jessiville and is a member of the 4th Degree Honor Guard.  As a member of the Pastoral Council, he is its representative on the Social Justice and Charitable Outreach Committee. He was very instrumental in recommending this year's beneficiaries of Sacred Heart's financial support program.  Ed is also Sacred Heart's representative on the Village Outreach Committee.  In addition to coordinating the transportation of food from Sacred Heart to Jackson House each week, he delivers food as part of the monthly Food for Seniors program organized through Rice Depot.  

Claudia is  active in the Ladies of Sacred Heart and the Parish Treasure Sale. There are several other families worthy of this award but Ed and Claudia's volunteer activities cover such a wide range and require a very large amount of their time.
