The May 2023 Prince of Peace Family of the Month is the Bill and Elaine Weber Family. This Award recognizes the Weber Family for making significant contributions to Prince of Peace and for being a faithful Catholic family.
Bill and Elaine have been members of Prince of Peace since 1991. They have been married for 43 years and are recognized as a dedicated and loving couple. They have two grown and married daughters and seven grandchildren (4 boys and 3 girls). Bill and Elaine are examples of good Catholics, practicing their faith.
Bill is a 4th Degree member of the Knights of Columbus and has served as the Wheelchair Director for the Council for 13 years, the Chalice Program Director for the Assembly for 6 years and the Texas Wheelchair Chairman for 5 years. His leadership and commitment to help handicapped children earned him the Mobility Hero Award from American Wheelchair Mission President, Chris Lewis. In addition to Prince of Peace, he has also helped 22 other parishes in the Dallas Diocese and 9 parishes in other Dioceses to have drives to support this charity. Cumulative funds raised from Prince of Peace are over $1,060,000, and Texas is the largest contributing State with $789,583 this fraternal year with still 2 months left.
Bill is a Eucharistic Minister, and supports other Knights activities (Bingo, Pro Life Events, Special Olympics). Prior to Knights Business Meetings, he leads the recitation of the Rosary.
Elaine is a trained spiritual director and serves in that role for others in the community. She has served many years as a Eucharistic Minister and a Sr. Acolyte. She is currently singing in the POP Liturgical Choir.
Bill and Elaine have led 6 trips to Mexico to distribute wheelchairs to needy, handicapped children---a blessing for the child and for the families. And they have been active for over 20 years in a Marriage Group which helps couples to enrich their marriages. They enjoy spending time together, sitting for their grandchildren and attending their sporting events.
Bill and Elaine, you are amazing and are highly appreciated for your dedication. Please join me in congratulating and honoring the faith and service of the Bill and Elaine Weber family, the May 2023 Prince of Peace Family of the Month.
