The Simao Family
The Knights family of the year for 2021-2022 is The Simao Family. Brother Hugo
Simao and his wife Teresa have been parish leaders and volunteers for many years.
Hugo is a deacon in the church and is our Council’s Lecturer and he never fails to motivate us.
Hugo also conducts Children’s Liturgy of the Word, leads the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) and is a Eucharistic Minister for the local Nursing homes.
Hugo took part in many Knights activities throughout this Columbian year. He is a cheerful and
helpful presence at every Knights event. Teresa is ever present in church and
contributes to bible studies and other spiritual exercises. They are role models to
their grown children and their families.
Great news is that the Simao Family was accepted as the Family of the Year for the New Jersey Knights of Columbus.
