Knight of the Month

This is the 3rd in a series designed to honor the newer and/or younger members of the Knights of Columbus. Hopefully, we will learn more about them and their families while making them feel more welcome and comfortable being a part of our Council. Let us all greet them when we see them and make a habit of inviting them to our meetings and functions.

Our Knight of The Month for July 2009 is LeRoy Schroder, a solid Citizen and a solid SJA Parishioner. LeRoy and wife Kathleen were married for 43 years in June. They have 2 Daughters, Deanna and Linnea. They are proud Grandparents of 1 granddaughter Elizabeth, 8 years and 4 grandsons, Joseph 8 years, Cameron 6 years, Jake 4 years and Christopher, 1 year. They have been active members of all three Arvada Parishes, Spirit of Christ, Saint Anne’s, and then members of Saint Joan of Arc since 1975.

LeRoy has been a very active in the Men’s Club since the late 70’s. He served as the Men’s Club President in 1981 and 1982 when the club was in charge of practically all parish functions such as dances dinners, picnics and golf tournaments. LeRoy’s other areas of volunteer work have been Eucharistic Minister, Perpetual Adoration, Loss of a Child programs, Lutheran Hospital volunteer, Memorial for Feast of the Innocents, Mountain Vista Eucharistic Substitute and more.

LeRoy has been a member of our Knight’s council for 4 months and is already becoming active in our meetings and activities. His motivations to become a Knight are the many opportunities we offer to serve others, and he quoted a favorite creed (“Service to Humanity is the Best Work of Life”) along with the fact that his long-time friend Knight Dallas Elder recommended it. A little prompting along the way from Dan, Norm, and Pat was also a strong influence.

LeRoy is already a frequent volunteer at the Pancake Breakfasts and Heaven’s Helpers Yard Projects. He is looking forward to more opportunities with Respect Life Programs. He speaks often of Spiritual Adoption and the related homes that he and Kathy visit and serve each year, such as Mary’s Maternity of Motherhood, Shannon’s Hope, Life Choices, Bridgeway, Brandon Center, and the Alternatives Pregnancy Center. He and Kathy help promote Project Rachael and strongly support the Pro-Life marches at the abortion clinics.
Before he took on the full-time position of volunteer, Leroy’s career was 35½ years with the U.S. Geological Survey Branch of the Federal Government. He joined them after college where he majored in Chemistry, minored in math and became interested in hydrology as a specialty.

You have been introduced to a guy we can all look up to and a guy who is a personal friend to many of us. He lives by his codes of Catholic training and beliefs. He quotes St. Paul (Without Good Works, Faith is Nothing). Somehow, we continue to get the best of the best.
