The annual Community Pride Breakfast, held by the Saint Matthews Area Business Association, honored several distinguished local individuals with the Community Pride Award. Among the recipients was theology teacher Mr. Scott Holzknecht. The Community Pride Award is an annual honor that recognizes people active in local community service leadership. Other members of the Trinity community who have received this award include Mr. Gene Eckert and Mrs. Sharon Bohannon. “I think probably why I got nominated was my involvement in the Joseph of Arimathea Society,” Holzknecht said. Trinity Vice President for School Advancement Joey Porter, who nominated Holzknecht for the award, cited his involvement in JOAS as only one of the many reasons he was selected. Holzknecht was recognized for his involvement in many projects dedicated to serving the community, including Crossroads Ministries, an urban immersion retreat program; the Saint Sebastian Society, which promotes spirituality among young athletes; and Justice Walking, which works with marginalized groups in Louisville. In addition to his extensive involvement in the Louisville community, Holzknecht has also participated in serving the wider world. In Portland, Ore., in 2009, he was a presenter at the Econvergence Conference, a meeting that discussed ways to create an economy kinder to people and the environment. He has also visited Mississippi and established relations between Louisville’s St. William Parish and several parishes damaged by Hurricane Katrina. In the summer of 2008, he became involved with international service when he spent a month teaching at an orphanage in the Sidai slum in Kenya. At the breakfast, held at The Olmsted, Holzknecht and his fellow recipients were each presented with an analog clock bearing his or her name and the words “Community Pride Service Award.” According to Holzknecht, the breakfast was attended mostly by like-minded people “just trying to do something good with their time.” Holzknecht has been actively involved in serving the Louisville Community since 2004, when he moved back to the city after living for several years in Portland, Wash. He says that he has always had a desire to help others. “It just seems like the thing to do based on the fact that we live in a world full of need,” he said. Holzknecht has always found helping the community a rewarding experience, saying that it is “a wonderful way to spend your time.”
