===========================================================================
Grand Knights Corner
It is so hard to believe that the first year of my Grand Knight tenure is already over - where has the time gone? Truthfully, I feel like we just got started yesterday and I still have so much to learn. Just bear with me, PLEASE! Even though we are in the summer vacation slowdown; there is no rest for 6892 as we prepare for the Operation Hope Workshop which we are hosting
on July 13th; the very next weekend on July 21st we are planning a city wide 2nd Degree investiture here at Our Lady of the Hills church. We should have at least fifty (50) candidates and guests attending. We will have to provide lunch (we can charge for non-candidates). Finally, on July 27th we will gather over at St Joseph’s for the Grand Knights workshop – I plan on taking at least 7 council members to that event (including me). You guys are familiar with St. Joseph’s aren’t you? Theirs is the church with the quiet air conditioning system! I am so looking forward to taking a breather in August and a relaxing dip in Brother Joe Albers pool. Can’t wait! Meanwhile, Brother Joe Tonsing and myself have been hard at work finalizing several new locations for Operation Hope – I think you guys are going to enjoy where we have us standing with cans this coming fall but I will leave all that news to Brother Joe to reveal to all of you – we definitely will be awarding shirts again – this year Irish Kelly green so we can use them in March at St Patty’s in Five Points. Number of hours hasn’t been decided yet but my feeling on that is to make it easy enough for everyone to earn a shirt if they want one.

Brother Tonsing is just one of a handful of changes going into effect on July 1 at the start of the new fraternal year. Joe Tonsing along with Dave McCarthy (Fatz breakfasts) and Keith Seymour (communications) are all heavily involved in this year’s Operation Hope Drive. Brother Richard Roshto (who will stay on as our Historian/Lecturer) has accepted the position of co-chair of our recruiting/retention program – he will serve along with Matt Church who returns for a 2nd year. We definitely need two in that position as found out at the end of this past year we were scrambling to make our goals – we don’t want that happening again. Our Communications area has also been revamped as Victor Banks and Brad Dulin will both head this area up and make sure that getting the word out stays at the top of our priority list. I am hopeful that John Lisic will continue to head up the newspaper “The Compass” or at the very least work with others in this area – by the way, if you have any newspaper experience or special talents in the area of layout, photos, reporting than we could use your help – let me know next meeting and we will sign you up. Regardless, (see Crosby I can be taught) we will ALL need to pitch in with assistance to keep our beloved news journal going. That will about do it for this edition of Grand Knights Corner. We hope to see all of you at our many events and meetings. Stay frosty and enjoy your summer activities.

Things our Knights did for the church and community
Fr. Frederick Suggs Council #6892 receives State honors
The Knight of Columbus State Convention was held in late April at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Greenville SC.
Father Fredrick Suggs Council #6892 of Irmo was represented by our Grand Knight, Dante
Tomasini and Deputy Grand Knight Steve Syzmanski. Chancellor Crosby Livingston and our
Past Grand Knight John Volmer attended as alternates. Our council was presented with several
awards. Thanks to the Knights who worked so hard this year to make this year another success.
Here are the awards we won at the State Convention.
The State Catholicity Award went to our own parishioner Maria Bernhagen.
1st place for the Scrapbook Award in Division II (Marsha Sansonetti creator)
1st
place for the Charity Award was awarded for raffle ticket sales (Headed by Dave McCarthy)
2nd
place Achievement Award earned for 290% of our Operation Hope goal. (Doug Mader Chairman)
Distinguished Council Award for our council in Division II
Star Council Award (Achieved in May after making our membership goals)
These awards are the result of our council’s activities that many of you participated in over the last twelve
months. A special Thanks to everyone and we encourage you to keep up with the good work in the future.
Maria Bernhagen wins State
Catholicity Award
We are very proud to announce that one of our
parishioners, Maria Bernhagen, was
honored with the Knights of Columbus
State Catholicity Award. The South
Carolina State Council presents the
Catholicity Award to one person in the
state annually who best exemplifies
the basic principles of the Knights of Columbus in the
area of Catholicity and Charity. The disappointing thing was, before the Knights could
even present the award to Maria, a story was
published in “The Catholic Miscellany” magazine
announcing that she was the winner. She was
present at our Silver Rose Mass on May 8th reciting
the prayers for us in Spanish. In May a Mass was
held to celebrate her birthday. If we had only known
her schedule, one of those two times would have
been perfect to present her with the award. Dante
finally presented Maria with the award at the 5:30
Mass in early June. I understand he did a great
job then concluded the presentation by
presenting Maria with a bouquet of flowers. Way
to go Dante!
Best Scrapbook – created by
Marsha Sansonetti
We are also proud of Marsha Sansonetti who did
the council scrapbook for us this year. She is the wife
of Jim Sansonetti who is a member of our council and
the Faithful Navigator of the 4th Degree Bishop John
English Assembly #1072 in Columbia. Marsha was
asked by our Grand Knight to develop a scrapbook
using pictures from our various events that we hold
throughout the year. The pictures were taken and
provided to her by several of our Knights. She did
such a good job we ended up winning the State
Award for the Best Scrapbook in Division II. Not
only did Marsha do that for us, this is the third time
she has won the scrapbook award for our council.

Marsha also helped our Grand Knight (Dante
Tomasini) and Deputy Grand Knight (Steve
Szymanski) with the nomination letter for Maria
Bernhagen for the State Catholicity award. As many
of you know, it’s not only the candidate’s
achievements that help win awards; it’s also the
quality of the letter that is presented to the judges
that makes a difference.
In addition to all this and many other things Marsha
Sansonetti does for us and the parish, she was
recently voted in as President of the K of C Ladies
Auxiliary for this coming year. Congratulations
Marsha and thank you very much!
The Silver Rose of Guadalupe –
Wednesday May 8th
On Wednesday, May 8th the 12:15 Mass was held in
honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Father David
Whitman celebrated the Mass
with the Silver Rose on display
in the front of the church altar.
Following Mass the
parishioners were invited to
come up to view and touch the
Rose.
The celebration of the Silver
Rose honors Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness
of the Americas, and her appearance to Mexican
peasant, Blessed Juan Diego in December of 1532.
When the Holy Mother appeared to Juan Diego, she
asked the peasant boy to gather Castillan Roses
from Tepyac Hill, in Mexico, and take them to the
Bishop in Mexico City.
This icon of the Silver Rose is touring all the Catholic
Dioceses in the country. Our Lady of the Hills church
had it for the Noon mass on May 8th. All members of
our parish were welcomed and encouraged to attend
this celebration honoring our Holy Mother’s
appearance to a peasant boy. When taking into
account the emphasis that Pope Francis has placed
on the importance of Catholics caring for the poor,
this liturgy carries even a greater meaning.
Blood drive and pancake breakfast
On Sunday April 28th we held our quarterly blood
drive and pancake breakfast. The Knights of
Columbus would like to Thank Everyone who
supported the recent Parish Blood Drive and
Pancake Breakfast. Sixty (60) Donors contributed
blood and the Breakfast was well attended. Again
thank you for donating the gift of life. Including this
week’s drive it brings the Parish Total to 1644 Pints
of donated blood, which the Red Cross still tells us is
one of Best Church Drives in Columbia. Mark your
calendars; the next Blood Drive is Sunday,
September 22, 2013.
K of C Ladies Auxiliary Book Sale
The Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary held a
book sale in April to collect money to support various
charities in our community. The parish donated
about three thousand books including games and
DVD’s of all kinds to use in the
sale. The book sale was held
during the weekend of April 20th
and again on the following
Wednesday so our CCD youth
could purchase books. The
books sold for 50 cents for
paperbacks and $1.00 for hard covers. The Auxiliary
ended up making over one-thousand dollars.
Thanks to everyone who helped. Even some of our
Knights showed up to help the ladies lug the books
around and set them up and take them down after
the sale. The setup alone was a whole day’s effort.
Several ladies spent over twenty-four hours setting
up, tearing down and handling the sales. The
remaining books were donated to Christ Central for
various groups throughout the state and given to the
soldiers at Ft. Jackson when they are deployed
overseas. See more on page 7 – “Ginny’s sonnet”
K of C council Corporate Mass – Saturday May 18
A Corporate Mass was held on May 18, 2013 at the
5:30 Mass in memory of our Brother Knights. It is
held each quarter and is served and attended by the
Knights. Father David Whitman celebrated the Mass.
Following the Mass about sixteen (16) Knights and
family members met at Ocean View Seafood in
Cayce for supper and fellowship.

Memorial Day picnic at Lake
Weston
Once again our council held a Memorial Day social
on Saturday, May 25th
at Ft. Jackson’s Weston Lake.
The attendance was very good. The weather
cooperated and it seemed everyone had a good time.
Thanks to Bill Baker and his lovely wife Blanche
for setting this up for us once again. I guess
retired officers still have pull with the Army.
Fatz Café breakfast – June 8th
On Saturday, June 8, 2013 we held our Operation
Hope kickoff breakfast at Fatz Café on Broad River
Blvd in Irmo. We asked everyone to take part selling
tickets and to sell at least three tickets each. Our
target was (350) three-hundred fifty tickets this year.
We sold over 175 tickets in advance and had about
200 guests at our breakfast this year, including walk-
ins. The breakfast ran from 7:00 to 11:00 AM and the
tickets costs were $7.00 per person. We broke our
record this year by raising over two-thousand
dollars.
We had twenty-eight Knights and Ladies serve as
waiters and waitresses, we also had members
working in the kitchen, preparing food and making
coffee. This is really a fun event to attend. It gets us
the revenue we need to purchase supplies for our
upcoming tootsie roll drive. Operation Hope is our
biggest charity event of the year and it helps the
Special Olympics and Pendergrass-Fairwold school
purchase the extra things they need. This year, like
last, we are adding Cardinal Newman’s Special
Needs program to our charity list. Thanks to all who
took part in this Fatz Cafe Operation Hope breakfast
and made it a success.
Doug Mader is stepping down as the Operation
Hope Chairman this year. He has done an
outstanding job for us. Now let’s welcome our
new Operation Hope Chairman Brother Knight
Joe Tonsing who agreed to take over. Good luck
to Joe and all his staff for volunteering to run this
major charity event.
Fr. Suggs Council #6892 has it’s own website: http://www.olhkoc.org Brad Dulin, one of our newest Knights is in the
Information Technology business. Right
after he joined our council and became a
Knight, he offered to start a web site for
us. We jumped at the idea. The web site
has been up and running for several
months now. Please thank Brad for doing this for our
council. He would also like to hear from any of you
who might have some input to help improve the web
site. Go to the website and click on CONTACT, fill
out the form then click SUBMIT.
Our council begins a monthly
collection program to help the
needy
Beginning this June, the Knights of Columbus council
will begin collecting donations for St. Vincent de Paul.
We ask that all members check the church bulletin,
under “Social Outreach” and also on our “council web
site” at http://www.olhkoc.org to find out which
items are needed each month, than place them in the
SVDP Container in the Church Narthex. The items
will be collected by St. Vincent de Paul to help the
needy. For the month of June St. Vincent de
Paul needs; chunky style soup, jelly or jam
and Ramen noodles. You can also donate to
Clean of Hearts; they need paper towels,
toothpaste, cleaning supplies.
Council #6892 donations money In addition to all the money donated to Operation
Hope charities, a donation of two-hundred dollars
($200.00) was given to our Parish Youth of to help
pay for their trip to the International Youth
Conference in Indianapolis. Fifty dollars ($50.00)
was contributed to the “Clean of Hearts” charity.
Approximately four-hundred dollars ($400.00) has
been collected so far to provide MP3 Players for our
military personnel. The council will round off the total
amount received to the next hundred dollars once the
MP3 collection is over.

Amputee lady gets help from our Knights
This event was not a project started or ran by our Knights of Columbus council, but several of our own Knights
headed the program or were involved, for that they deserve recognition for what they accomplished.
The project started out as plea for help to build an access ramp for a lady amputee and widow of a WWII Veteran
named Mary Davis. Mrs. Davis was confined to a wheelchair, and as the result of being denied
her husband’s military benefits earlier this year, she was living in substandard conditions that
jeopardized her health, and kept her confined to her more than 100 year old house. It was found
the house was in desperate need of major repairs to just make it livable for her. When the
building department was contacted they found the house was in such poor shape it was going to
be condemned. The plumbing and electrical were unsafe and needed replacement. Another
problem was the house is located in a historical neighborhood so any work that was done had to
done properly. .
Two of our Knights Insurance agent Peter Zeeff and Brother Knight Keith Seymour lead the project raising
funds and developing a public relations campaign to get the material and volunteers needed to renovate the house.
Peter and Keith got to work. They contacted the Greater Columbia Marine Foundation who agreed to do the
demolition and remodeling. They contacted the local TV stations and newspapers and got them to help publicize
the story and help raise funds. They contacted a local hotel who donated free rooms for the family and the
workers during renovation period. They also worked with our local congressman to get donations of supplies and
money.
Two of our Knights Richard Roshto and Keith Seymour helped with the demolition, but the conditions were so
hazardous that Peter Zeeff decided not to asked more of our council members to get involved because of our
advanced ages and the health issues that could arise from the mold and dust contamination at the site. Richard
was down with a respiratory infection for about a week after working on the demolition.
All the interior walls, ceilings, floors, plumbing and electrical were stripped and replaced. The house was remodeled
to make it handicap accessible. The house went from a health hazard to a beautiful home in just five weeks. The
appraisal value of the house grew from $20,000 to $160, 000 following the renovation. We are very proud of what
our Brother Knights and all the volunteers did to help. Peter Zeeff acknowledged and praised the work done by
Richard and Keith during the June Business Meeting.

Top Memories of the Ladies Book Sale – Sonet by Ginny
Thousands of books in great condition donated by parishioners in boxes, bags, and grocery carts.
Ladies and Knights carrying, sorting, placing books and making suggestions for eight hours on Friday while sweating, laughing and enjoying camaraderie.
Cindy's granddaughter, Samantha, helping by following someone and carrying two books from the category being set up. Periodically she would ask, "Is everyone okay?"
Platters of sweets from Panera's for our patrons to enjoy on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday.
A little girl coming to pay for her books and carefully explaining that she had ten (crumpled) dollars for "little" books and her mother had given her one dollar so she could buy one "big" hardback book.
Parishioners and others enjoying the books and the pastries. The set up and organization were praised over and over.
A Hispanic mother of many children buying boxes of books so that she could teach her children to read English.
Making $1269.65 and receiving a $100.00 book sale donation for our projects.
Ladies and Knights packing up remaining books. It was amazing how much more quickly they were packed than unpacked.
Donating remaining books to soldiers who are deploying for Afghanistan and to Christ Central for projects throughout the state.
To all of you who donated, helped or shopped, thank you for a job well done. I had a blast! Ginny Lopiccolo

Things our Knights and Council accomplished
Selections for our Councils “Persons of the Year” The following are our council’s selections as Persons of the Year. These same names are normally sent to the
State for consideration for the State’s Person’s of the Year. I understand we had no state submissions this year,
other than the Catholicity Award.
Golden Knight of the Year - co-winners - John Berg Sr. and Crosby Livingston
John Berg Sr. and Crosby Livingston were co-awarded the councils Golden Knight of the Year
award. This award is presented to Knights who promote and best exemplify the basic principles of
the Knights of Columbus, as demonstrated by continuous service to their council during an
extended period. This award is intended to recognize members who work hard year after year and
to give due recognition to men who have shown true devotion over a long period to the Knights of
Columbus.
John Berg and Crosby Livingston were both presented with the councils Golden Knight of the Year
award. It was difficult to select one or the other because they have been Corner Stones of our
council since joining. Both Knights have attended or worked at just about every one of our events
this year. If everyone had the drive and stamina of these two Knights, we would only need
about a dozen Knights to complete all our work. The awards were presented during the June
Council Business Meetings.
Knight of the Year – John Lisic John Lisic was selected as Knight of the year in our council. This award is presented to the
Brother Knight who best exemplifies the basic principles of the Knights of Columbus as
demonstrated by service to his council during the past year. John’s award was announced during
the June Council Business Meeting. John was not present at the meeting so he will receive the
award at a later date.
Family of the Year - Richard and Cindy Stichter Richard and Cindy Stichter were nominated for Family of the Year. The Family of the Year Award is given
annually to a Knights of Columbus family that best exemplifies the model Knights of Columbus family in every
respect, as demonstrated by their devotion to their Catholic faith, their community, and to each other. The award
was presented during the June Council Business Meeting.
Youth of the Year – Daniel Atkins This year Daniel Atkins was selected a Youth of the year. Daniel was our Youth of the Month for October 2012.
The Youth of the Year Award is annually given to a Catholic youth that best exemplifies the model Catholic youth in
every respect, as demonstrated by their devotion to their Catholic faith, their parish, and their community. The
award was presented to Daniel with his family and friend in attendance prior to our June Council Business Meeting.

Can we eat breakfast for supper? Yes we can! We had an outstanding social meal made out of breakfast food at our May Business Meeting. If you
were there, you would have found out. Victor Banks, our new Recorder, agreed to make a meal for
our social, and boy, what a meal. He made eggs, biscuits, pancakes, grits and sausage and gravy,
and a few other things. If anyone went away hungry, it was their own fault. After that great meal we
had a 1st Degree Exemplification followed by our Business Meeting. Thanks to Bob Galloway and
John Lisic for helping Victor cleanup after the meal. Too bad we didn’t have a cleanup crew
scheduled. Victor put in many hours cooking and was rewarded by having to help with the cleanup.
Our Council installs four Knights in April In our April Business meetings we had four more Catholic Gentlemen join our ranks. These four men become
Brother Knights. They are shown below from left to right; Alan Shaw, John Hatfield, Arnold Farias and Drake
Kaiser. Welcome to all.

James “Beetle” Bailey, Charlie Genova, John M. Killilea, Steven Coleman and Bernie Swidel. These five new

have this experienced Knights join our ranks. We look forward to getting to know him better.
Election of Officers for 2013 – 2014 In March a committee was formed to accept nominations for the coming term of officers. Nominations were taken
and read to the council at our April Business Meeting. Normally the officers currently in office serve a second term
if they feel they can continue for another year. In the May Business Meeting the members voted for our 2013 –
2014 year's officers. On June 15th the officers were sworn in and assume their positions July 1

Our Seminarian makes it to Deacon
The Seminarian we supported over the years, Javier Heredia, was ordained to Transitional Deacon on May 17,
2013. Bishop Guglielmone allowed him to be ordained in Texas to make it easier for his family from Mexico to
attend. Javier must now spend at least six months as a deacon before he can be ordained to the priesthood. He will
spend his summer working in his home parish of St. John of the Cross in Batesburg-Leesville before returning to
Blessed John XXIII Seminary in Massachusetts for his fourth year of theology. Our brother Knight and
Seminarian Francisco Ornate-Vargas attended the Mass and assisted as a server at Javier’s ordination Mass.
The Mass was said in Spanish as a gift to his family and friends for supporting their son in his advancement to the
priesthood.

Note from the editor It has been a pleasure serving you throughout the years. I appreciate all the “PATS” on the back I received for
doing the newsletter and all the thanks in general. One thing you should know, we couldn’t have done it without the
help of the great group of officers and committee chairman and the members of our communications team. The
communication team includes; Charlie Hood my assistant-editor and mentor, John Lopiccolo and his camera
and photos, Keith Seymour and his journalist skills, Dave McCarthy and his Financial Secretary input and
our new members Brad Dulin for his website and Victor Banks for acting as recorder, as well as all the
others who helped us succeed.
I encourage you to continue your support of the Knights who take over these communication tasks during the next
few months. Communications plays a vital role in getting members involved and helping all of us and the public
become aware of what our council is doing and what we do for our community. I personally believe a
communications chairman should be a part of every council.
The reason I decided to step aside is because my equipment and I are both getting old and tired and I also want to
give other’s a chance to try their hand at communications and hopefully bring in new ideas to the council. We have
a lot of talent out there; we just have to figure out how to use it.
If in the future if I find I miss doing some of these things, I might consider taking a small part once again. For now, I
just want to rest. My only regret is by leaving I’m sticking others with all the miscellaneous tasks I created, I feel like
I created a Monster. Thanks everyone for your support! It’s been an honor serving you. – John Lisic
