Christopher Marsh's Amazing Journey to Becoming a Knight

By: Matt Hoxsie - Sun, Jul 26, 2026 12:39 PM


Christopher Marsh has had an amazing year so far.  After completing the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults during Lent, he became a Catholic at the Easter Vigil Mass at St Catherine of Siena Church in Portage, MI.  On May 29, after many years of heart issues, he successfully underwent heart transplant surgery at Corewell Health Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI. 
 
Just seven weeks later, on July 19, he went through the Knights of Columbus Exemplification Ceremony and is now a proud member of  St Catherine of Siena Council 6980 in Portage, MI.
