Cade Renicker
David Kopp, scholarship chair, announced Knights of Columbus Council 1973 at St. Joseph Catholic Church awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Cade Renicker, 2021 graduate of Tuscarawas Central Catholic High School. He is the son of Kateri Renicker of New Philadelphia.
This is the third year Council 1973 has offered the scholarship to public and private high school graduating students who are members of St. Joseph Parish in Dover.
Renicker was awarded the scholarship for his leadership, academic, athletic and extracurricular achievements at TCCHS, the parish and the community. He is a member of St. Joseph Parish and is enrolled at the University of Dayton.
“I am honored and truly grateful to the K of C for contributing to the funding of my further education,” Renicker said.
The council was founded 102 years ago in 1919 and has more than 200 members, making it one of the largest councils in Ohio. The Knights are a society of Catholic men age 18 and over whose goal is to act as the “right arm of the church” through acts of charity, fraternity, unity and patriotism.
The council has sponsored sports teams; supported St. Joseph Church, Tuscarawas Central Catholic Elementary and TCCHS; and provided financial assistance to St. John’s Villa, Starlight School, Lafayette Meadows and Mercy Ministries, among other organizations.
“The Dover Knights of Columbus are proud to serve the youth of our parish community. We are happy to be able to offer support to help further the education of one of our future leaders. We wish Cade luck in his collegiate career,” Kopp said.
