During the September meeting of Knights of Columbus (KC) Council 2012 from Our Lady Help of Christians (OLHC) Parish in Jennings, the family of Joel and Donna Richert was recognized as the Council’s Family of the Month for August 2021. The Richerts are, without a doubt, two of the most active supporters and workers within OLHC Catholic Parish. Joel is the Council’s Advocate. He has played an integral part in the success of the KC barbecue fundraisers over the last 21 years. He has also helped the KC’s many times to collect money during the annual Tootsie Roll drives to raise funds, which support projects that benefit God’s Special Angels. He plays a major role in selecting the annual Catholic Youth Leadership Award winners from the Council. He has also enthusiastically supported the annual KC Council Swim Party. Every year he officiates at the annual Youth Soccer Challenge and the Basketball Free-Throw Contest and these are events enjoyed by all participants. In addition, he has helped to prepare and serve meals at Council meetings. Joel has also worked on the Shannon Savoy Memorial Golf Tournament Fundraiser, with proceeds benefiting Our Lady Immaculate (OLI) Catholic Elementary School.
