KC Family of the Month

Tom and Carla have been married for 53 years and have two Daughters (Julie Rettenmund and Brenda Gleason) and seven grandchildren ( Logan, Lance, Laura, Lincoln, Landon, Maxwell and Samantha). They have been members of St. Francis Xavier Parish since 1973. Both daughters and five grandchildren have attended St. Francis Xavier school. Tom and Carla love attending their sporting events. Carla and Tom have served the St. Francis Xavier Parish in many ways over the years including Eucharistic Ministers, Ushering, Parish Picnic Committee, and the Contemporary Choir for many years. Tom has been a businessman in the Cross Plains community for 40 years, and a member of the Cross Plains Business Association (now called Cross Plains Chamber), grilling many chickens on Memorial Days. He’s been a volunteer fireman for 40 years and a member of the Lions for 35 years. He helped to build the Lions train that we see often in the community, putting smiles on many faces. Now retired, Tom and Carla enjoy many travels with the Lake Ridge Bank Prime Time Club. Congratulations Tom and Carla for being great faith and family examples, and the Family of the Month for the Knights of Columbus Cross Plains Council #3934.
