Mother of Good Hope Council 1957 Knights of Columbus

Madison- We are happy to announce that Marvin and Robyn Krall and their family have been named the 2025-26 Wisconsin State Council Knights of Columbus Family of the year. Earlier this year, they were chosen as our council’s Family of the Year and were also chosen as the Green Bay Diocese Family of the Year for this year as well.

We congratulate the Krall Family on this wonderful and well-deserved recognition for all of the service that they have provided to children in need. They were joined by 11 of their children for the award presentation May 16-17 at the Wisconsin State Knights of Columbus convention. See the pictures below of Marvin and Robyn being presented the award by State Deputy Patrick Reiff and also of all of their family that was able to attend the event.

The Wisconsin State Council was recently awarded the 2027 Wisconsin State Council bowling tournament as the host to our council. This major event brings together over 200 teams of KC bowlers throughout the state to the Lakeshore in February-March 2027. There will be plenty of opportunities to help and we look forward to welcoming everyone to Meadow Lanes North for bowling, fellowship and fun!
