PRINCE OF PEACE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY COUNCIL # 11716
KNIGHTS OF THE MONTH
December 2023
Art Amoyo
The December 2023 Knight of the Month is SK Art Amoyo. This award honors Art’s never ending service to the Knights of Columbus Council 11716.
Art has been a member of the Knights of Columbus since 2004 and became a Fourth Degree member in 2013. He served as the Deputy Grand Knight of Council 11716 for two years and Grand Knight for a year. In September 2022, Art and his wife, Mary Lynn, were named the Knight Family of the Month.
He has a long history of involvement with fund raising activities for this Council, including time as the chair of the fundraising committee. Art is a staple at the Sunday Knights Breakfasts where he has performed a wide variety of duties in and out of the kitchen. He also enjoys participating in the Wreaths Across America program at the Dallas National Cemetery where both his parents, a brother-in-law and a former employee are buried.
Through his work at Bullet Graphics Center where he works with his brother and fellow Knight, Maco, Art supports this Knights Council with the creation of announcements, signs, posters and apparel. The graphic design, artistry and layout, printing skill and production make his handiwork easily recognized for its style, quality and professionalism, and many of the projects are donated to the Knights.
Earlier this year, Art managed the highly successful POP Golf at TopGolf charity golf tournament at The Colony TopGolf. The social event, open to all parishioners, involved 90 participants and raised $7,000 for various affinity groups affiliated with the Knights at Prince of Peace.
On many Sundays, you can hear Art singing as a member of the adult liturgical choir. In addition, he and Mary Lynn are deeply involved in a small group program that grew out of the “Reach More” ministry. Today, the ministry has morphed into monthly gatherings of couples who meet at parishioner homes to discuss ways of evangelizing the Catholic faith.
Please join me in congratulating and celebrating the service of SK Art Amoyo, the December 2023 Knight of the Month.
