Yummy Food! April Knight's Breakfast

What a morning it's been! Fresh off the heels of our biggest bingo night yet, our dedicated Knights and their lovely wives came together to whip up a breakfast feast fit for royalty! From fluffy biscuits to mouthwatering omelettes, crispy bacon to savory sausage, and everything in between, it was an absolute culinary delight!

Easter Egg Hunt is an Egg-citing Success!

What an egg-citing day it has been at Prince of Peace Parish! We were absolutely thrilled by the incredible turnout of kids and families at today's Easter Egg Hunt hosted by the Knights of Columbus after the 12:15 PM Mass. It may have been our largest one yet, and the joy and laughter echoing across the football field were simply infectious!

Art Amoyo Named DECEMBER Knight of the Month

PRINCE OF PEACE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY COUNCIL # 11716

KNIGHTS OF THE MONTH

December 2023

Art Amoyo

The December 2023 Knight of the Month is SK Art Amoyo. This award honors Artโ€™s never ending service to the Knights of Columbus Council 11716.

Art has been a member of the Knights of Columbus since 2004 and became a Fourth Degree member in 2013. He served as the Deputy Grand Knight of Council 11716 for two years and Grand Knight for a year. In September 2022, Art and his wife, Mary Lynn, were named the Knight Family of the Month.

He has a long history of involvement with fund raising activities for this Council, including time as the chair of the fundraising committee. Art is a staple at the Sunday Knights Breakfasts where he has performed a wide variety of duties in and out of the kitchen. He also enjoys participating in the Wreaths Across America program at the Dallas National Cemetery where both his parents, a brother-in-law and a former employee are buried.

Through his work at Bullet Graphics Center where he works with his brother and fellow Knight, Maco, Art supports this Knights Council with the creation of announcements, signs, posters and apparel. The graphic design, artistry and layout, printing skill and production make his handiwork easily recognized for its style, quality and professionalism, and many of the projects are donated to the Knights.

Earlier this year, Art managed the highly successful POP Golf at TopGolf charity golf tournament at The Colony TopGolf. The social event, open to all parishioners, involved 90 participants and raised $7,000 for various affinity groups affiliated with the Knights at Prince of Peace. 

On many Sundays, you can hear Art singing as a member of the adult liturgical choir. In addition, he and Mary Lynn are deeply involved in a small group program that grew out of the โ€œReach Moreโ€ ministry. Today, the ministry has morphed into monthly gatherings of couples who meet at parishioner homes to discuss ways of evangelizing the Catholic faith.

Please join me in congratulating and celebrating the service of SK Art Amoyo, the December 2023 Knight of the Month.
