The Florida Knights of Columbus (K of C) have inducted Father Tommy as a Brother Knight of Council 5150, a release issued on the K of C Florida State Council's website said.

Father Tommy participated in seminary for 12 years before serving the community of Indialantic. He was offered several gifts during Thanksgiving Mass.

“It was truly my honor to present, on behalf of all at Council 5150, the gift of vestments to Father Tom on Sunday afternoon," Michael Forster, grand knight of Council 5150, said in the release. "I wish that I could have been joined by all the many Brother Knights that were in attendance at the Thanksgiving Mass, however because of social distancing, it was not allowed. However, I hope that the message of pride, thanksgiving and joy of Council 5150 for our very own Brother, Father Tom, was adequately relayed to him and our parish. We are all so proud of you, Father Tom. Very Well Done Brother!”
