Each month, the Knights of Columbus present this award to recognize a deserving family for their outstanding contributions to St. Christopher Parish and School.  The Eddie and Jane Toups Family has been selected as the July 2021 Family of the Month.
Eddie and Jane’s contributions to our parish are enumerable.   Eddie has been a member of the Knights of Columbus Council 4508 for 34 years, serving as Grand Knight eight times and as Chief Squire of the KC junior organization.  He has also dedicated his time as past Vice President of both the Men’s Club and the CYO, as well as Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 117 for five years.  Jane is a member of the KC Ladies Auxiliary and has been very active in donating her time at Council 4508 events and Turkey Bingo.  As a member of Troop 117, Eddie Jr. earned all the Catholic Boy Scout awards and the rank of Eagle Scout; he is presently a member and officer of the Knight of Columbus.  Eddie’s mother, Helen Toups, has also been very active in our parish.  The entire Toups family have been so generous with their time and talents and are the embodiment of Christian values. 
We are so grateful for the Toupses’ tireless commitment to serving God within our parish and thank them for sharing their love and faith.  May God richly bless them!
