Scheffman Family

It is with an extremely heavy heart that I tell you that our Brother Knight and Worth District Deputy SK Troy Scheffman perished in a home fire last night. Troy’s wife was out of town and his children escaped the blaze. I was told that Troy had escaped but returned to the burning house to rescue others. The home and all aspects of the dwelling were destroyed as well. Please keep our brother and the Scheffman family in your prayers. I will advise arrangements as they are known.

Charlotte Modrzynski

Please keep Charlotte Modrzynski, daughter of Craig and Barbara Modrzynski, in your thoughts and prayers.

She lives alone with her two dogs and could use all the good thoughts, vibes, prayers and best wishes you can send her. Her father, Craig, is the Diocesan Deputy for Fort Worth and Charlotte is his beloved daughter.
