David and Debbie Convery of Highlands were honored as the Family of the Month by the Rev. Joseph Donnelly Council of the Knights of Columbus at the regular Honors Breakfast held earlier this month at Our Lady of Perpetual Help school gym.
Knight Michael Burke, the Family Director for the local council of Knight, and Kevin McKenna, Grand Knight of the Council, presented the couple with a certificate and gift honoring their dedication to the parish and the community.
Convery, who is an attorney practicing in Highlands and throughout Monmouth County, is himself a member of the Knights of Columbus and has been a member for more than 12 years. He served as Deputy Grand Knight as well as Grand Knight of the Council in addition to holding several other offices within the Council.
Both Converys have been examples of Catholic faith in action, Grand Knight McKenna said, in citing some of the many reasons why the couple is being honored this month. Both have been active in the community as well as in the parish and practice their religion openly and faithfully.
Both Burke and McKenna also cited Convery’s actions during the years of Covid restrictions, citing the several ways he kept the council strong and vibrant in spite of limited meetings as mandated under Covid, and was instrumental in helping renew the mass celebrations in the church parking lot at St. Agnes during that time. The Converys also assisted in disinfecting the church after masses once meetings were able to resume.
The couple’s large extended family includes 11 nieces and nephews.
The Knights Breakfast is held the second Sunday of each month in the Our Lady of Perpetual Help school gym, and is open to all at no cost, though donations are always accepted. During these monthly breakfasts, different themes are selected to honor specific occasions or people, and most often the menu for the lavish breakfast is in keeping with the theme. Members of the Columbiettes, the auxiliary group that assists the Knights in their many activities, aid in decorating the tables and room for the gala breakfasts,, as well as offer their support in numerous ways in keeping with their own tenets of practicing their Catholic faith.
Theme for the May Breakfast was honoring Mary, Mother of God during the month dedicated in her honor. Boys and girls who received the sacraments of Holy Eucharist, Penance and Confirmation this month were also honored at the Breakfast with Christine Ferreri, coordinator of Religious Education for the parish, introducing each of the honorees and explaining the importance of their sacraments.
