Council 16255 Celebrates Exemplification of New Knights


On June 14, 2026, Council 16255 was proud to host an Exemplification Ceremony for nine Knights of Columbus. Seven new Knights joined our council, and two joined Our Lady of Mount Carmel Council.

The new Knights exemplified into Council 16255 were:

  • Fr. Thommy Abraham
  • Nicholas Pagliari
  • Christopher Bailey
  • Demetrius Cagampan
  • Jonathan Rizzo
  • Kristian Diaz
  • Anthony Da Silva Sr.

Fr. Memo opened the ceremony by leading everyone in prayer as we welcomed these men into a new life of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity within our brotherhood.

As our Grand Knight administered the pledge to our new brothers, the Knights gathered in attendance raised their hands as well, renewing their own commitment to the principles of our Order.

It was a joyful and inspiring event, filled with smiles, laughter, brotherhood, and faith.

May this Exemplification remind every Knight of Council 16255 that our pledge is not a one-time promise, but a daily call to live Charity, Unity, and Fraternity in our parish, our families, and our community.
