The September 2023 Knight of the Month is SK Ray Biase. This Award recognizes Ray’s service to the Knights of Columbus Council 11716 and to Assembly 3642.
Ray has been a member of Prince of Peace since 1994, when Prince of Peace was based in an office building. He joined the Knights of Columbus about 10 years ago and is a Fourth Degree Knight.
Ray regularly attends the Knights meetings, and serves as an Officer, the Faithful Scribe, in the Assembly. When there is a Knights activity, it is most probable that he will be there. Examples of his activities include:
