On Sunday July 10,2022, during the 10:30 Mass at St. Gabriel’s, Knights Council 6031 announced and presented checks to the 2022 scholarship winners. In total, $24,000 in total scholarships were presented to 15 young adults in the parish. Of note, two special awards were presented: Ignatius Widjaja received the Deacon Bob Troy Memorial Scholarship while Robert Salvatori received the Jim-Tom Cavanaugh Memorial Scholarship.
Though the Knights have presented scholarships to young adults in the parish for years, since the incorporation of a scholarship fund raising event during our Harvest Moon event, the amount available for scholarships has increased from $5,000 to the record $24,000 this year. Between 2019-2021 $51,000 has been raised during the event and has helped increase the amount for scholarships awarded each year.
