For the month of July we are happy to announce our Special Family of the Month is Francis & Adrienne Celeste.

Before transferring to our Council in 2006, Frank was a 3rd Degree Brother Knight where he attended St. Bernard's College in Alabama. Since arriving in our area he is on one of our Tuesday Night Crab Teams and also works on the Sunday Morning Breakfast Program. To diversify a bit, he also has worked on the SpringFest "Beer Truck".

Frank was bom in New York City and later moved to Northvale, NJ, where he attended Fairleigh Dickinson University and received his BA in Political Science. He then spent time in the U.S. Air Force stationed at a SAC base in Montana. He received an MA in Political Science from Fordham University and went on to the University of Maryland for Graduate Studies. Frank spent 30 years with the Federal Government as an Analyst with the Dept of the Navy, Dept of the Army and the National Security Agency (NSA). He retired from the Government in 1998 and began a career in Real Estate.

Adrienne was born and raised in Northvale, NJ. She graduated form Fairleigh Dickinson University with a Teaching Degree. After her first son was born she became a full time

mother. When her 3rd son was in school full time she resumed her teaching career at St. John the Evangelist in Severna Park, MD, where she taught Kindergarten for 19 years. Since coming to Delaware she has joined the K of C Ladies Auxiliary, worked on a Breakfast Team and helped on St. Agnes' Parish Children's Liturgy of the Word.
