Congratulations to Sir Knight Andy Baase who was selected as the 2014 St. Simon the Apostle Council’s Knight of the Year!

Andy is always available and the first to volunteer for Knights projects and activities as well as doing whatever needs done to help out the parish.  From general maintenance in the church and school buildings to even answering the phones in the parish office, Andy is the “go to guy”.

He was nominated by several members of the council as being worthy of this recognition.

Thanks for all you do Andy!

This past weekend, several members of the Saint Simon Knights of Columbus took time out of their Father’s Day to help setup for Vacation Bible School.

VBS Coordinators Amy and Bob Mobley have in the past done all the setup by themselves. This year Brother Kurt Gilmore suggested the Knights get involved to speed up the process.

A big Thank You to all of our Brother Knights who volunteered to help the youth of our parish.
