Knights of Columbus

​Steve was born and raised in New Brunswick, NJ. After graduating from St. Peters High School, he attended Trenton State College and N.J.I.T colleges majoring in Engineering. He became a member of the Knight of Columbus St. Ladislaus Council 6678 in New Brunswick over 44 years ago. After he married his wife Carol, he moved to Union, NJ, and transferred to the Union Council 4504 in 1993.

 

He lives here in Union with his wife Carol of 34 years, and they have two married children Rachel and her husband, Tom, Stephen, and his wife, Karen. And two years ago, were blessed with a grandson Ryan. Steve is a Parishioner of Saint Michael’s Church and serves as an Usher at the 7:30 Mass on Sundays.

 

Steve has been involved in many council activities since he first-chaired “Second Chance Toy Drive” in 2009. He was involved in chairing many programs honoring our Veterans and family members serving in our Armed Forces. Still, his best programs were the many events he worked on to Honor our members, who served in World War II.

 

Steve has held the offices of Recorder, Warden, Treasurer, Deputy Grand Knight, and Trustee in our Council. He became a Sir Knight in the Fourth Degree in 2010 and was Faithful Navigator in 2019-20. And currently, Steve has worked on the Retention Committee and co-chaired our “Coats for Kids” program. Over the years, Steve has helped on many work projects around the Council and was involved with the Memorial gardens at our Council property in Memory of Sr. Ann Dominick and Rich Fuentes.

 

He is always happy to pitch in, help out around the council, and assist where his talents are needed. In Steve’s spare time, he enjoys working on his 1952 Chrysler Saratoga. His family calls him the "Tool Man," as he can be found around the house or at friends’ houses on the weekends fixing or building items to help make life a little easier for those around him. He also likes to “Repurpose” stuff rather than discard it. When he kicks back, he has been known to enjoy his Whiskey and listen to a broad genre of music in his sunroom.

 

Steve is always willing to share what he has and lend a hand to anyone needing assistance. We are pleased to honor Steve Nagy as the Knight of the Month.
