Dennis honored as July Knight of the Month
During the August meeting of Knights of Columbus (KC) Council 2012 from Our Lady Help of Christians Parish in Jennings, Tommy Dennis was recognized as the Council’s Knight of the Month for July. Tommy has been a member of the Knights of Columbus since January of 2016. For the Council’s annual barbecue fundraiser activities over the last five years, Tommy assisted in putting together the envelopes with the letters and tickets for distribution to Council members. He has helped with the sale of tickets, always selling more than his quota of allotted tickets. He was one of the volunteers who helped move the barbecue pits from the owners’ locations to the cooking site near St. Mary’s Center. He also lent a hand in returning the pits to the owners after the event. He aided with the cooking of the meat for the main courses of the meals. After the food preparation was complete, he assisted with the cleanup of all equipment used for the project. The proceeds from the barbecues have allowed the Council to fund their many benevolent works. When masses for OLHC parish were conducted outside during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tommy helped to set up the sound system so that mass attendees could follow the conduct of the services. He has also worked at the Supply Distribution Centers operated out of St. Mary’s Center over the last year, and his efforts have helped benefit people affected adversely by the two hurricanes, which devastated the area. Tommy Dennis has truly proved to be a credit to the Knights of Columbus, and he is a tremendous asset to his Council.
