Thomas and Stacey Leusen and their children were honored as the Family of the Month by the Rev. Joseph Donnelly Council 11660 of the Nights of Columbus for March, Grand Knight Kevin McKenna announced.
The couple were honored both at the 9:30 mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church and the masses at St. Agnes Church in Atlantic Highlands Sunday, as well as at the monthly breakfast sponsored by the Knights at OLPH school hall.
“Thomas and Stacey Leusen have been attending mass every Sunday at our parish for over 12 years now,” McKenna told the congregation at mass. “Over those dozen years they have baptized all three of their children in our Catholic faith. Their children have all made their First Holy Communion here and their son TJ and older daughter Sam have also been confirmed here. Harper the youngest daughter is planning to be confirmed here in about two years,” he continued.
McKenna also praised the Leusen’s son TJ who was the acolyte serving the 9:30 mass in which his parents were honored. TJ regularly serves as an acolyte at the 10:45 Sunday mass at St. Agnes.
“As Knights of Columbus we have always been dedicated to the development of strong vibrant families,” the Grand Knight explained. Noting that in support of that mission, as well as to create an even greater awareness of the many outstanding families in the diocese the Supreme Council of the Knights instituted the Family of the Month Program in 1978.
“The local council recognizes families who outwardly exhibit strong ties of love and faith, exemplifying Catholic family values by attending mass each week throughout the year, while making contributions to their parish and surrounding community,” McKenna said, in introducing the Leusen family.
As they do each month, the Knights presented an award and a gift of appreciation to the Family of the Month at their monthly breakfast.
