St. Thomas Council Names Southwick Family as September 2022 Family of the Month
-
September 17, 2022The Knights of Columbus St. Thomas Council has selected the Family of Rick and Rebecca Southwick as Family of the Month for the month of September 2022.
Rick and Rebecca have been happily married for 49 years. They are proud parents of a son Jason and a daughter Sharon. They also have four grandchildren. Their daughter Sharon has three sons: Grayson who's 19, Devan who's 11 and Avery who's 8. Their son Jason has one son Cody, who's 16.
Rick and Rebecca have been communicants at this parish for 12 years and they've been quite active. Rebecca taught children's litergy, was on the sanitizing team, helped with the Christmas and Easter decorations in the church, helped prepare the meals after the funeral masses and baked desserts for those meals.
Rick has been a Knight in the St. Thomas Council for the past four years. In fact he had rejoined the Knights four years ago. Rick had originally joined the Knights of Columbus in 1976. So after he rejoined, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and got back to work. Rick served for three years as Deputy Grand Knight under Terry Sylvanus who put him to work on several projects. Last year, Rick worked tirelessly planning, organizing and working our council's two curbside Lenten fish dinners. You'll always see Rick and his wife Rebecca working at all the St. Thomas Council Lenten Haddock suppers. You'll see Rick and Rebecca working at the upcoming Parish Harvest Fair in October.
God bless the Southwick family for their hard work and dedication in the church and the Knights of Columbus!
Rick and Rebecca Southwick
