Cassidy named February Knight of the Month
During the March meeting of Knights of Columbus (KC) Council 2012 from Our Lady Help of Christians (OLHC) Parish in Jennings, Grand Knight Frank Angelle (left) presented the council’s Knight of the Month Award for February 2023 to Michael Cassidy (on right). Michael has been a member of the Knights of Columbus since October 1999. Since he joined KC Council 2012, he has participated in every Tootsie Roll Drive, which has resulted in thousands of dollars raised to support programs that benefit God’s Special Angels. Michael has also helped with the council’s barbecue fundraisers by selling advance tickets, helping set up the traffic pattern for drive-through customers and selling tickets to drive-through customers on the day of the barbecue. He also assisted with cooking the main course of the meals. Michael has coordinated meals served at monthly KC meetings and participated with a group of Knights in a Special Olympics Skills Learning event at Jennings Elementary School on Jan. 20. This activity was geared towards assisting some of “God’s younger Special Angels.” Michael served the citizens of Jeff Davis Parish as District Attorney for 30 years and ten days in an exemplary manner.
