| Mike and Chris Frantz Family of the Month July |
This month's Family of the Month is Mike and Chris Frantz. It would be difficult to collect information on all of the things that Mike and Chris are involved in at our church. Chris in LOSH, decorating the church for holiday events, always a help when needed for set up and take down for our Knights events. Mike is never far behind, being involved in many of the same events. If you're a regular at 5PM Saturday Mass you'll see Mike ushering and making sure that everything for Mass is about to go off smoothly. Regarding his assistance and volunteering for Knights of Columbus - He does it all. I have never known Mike to say no to anyone that's asking him for help. Just recently a call went out asking for volunteers to sit with a Knight that was injured and going into surgery due to a house fire. Mike was the first volunteer. Sometime ago a Parishioner lost her home to fire. Frantz to the rescue without a single complaint. Knights of Columbus are proud to have such a good, hard working Christian family like Mike and Chris.
