Introducing KJT's New State Treasurer Kevin Kana
Hello. My name is Kevin Kana and as the new State Treasurer of the Catholic Union of Texas, the KJT, I would like to briefly introduce myself. I am a lifelong member of Sts. Martin and Wenceslaus Charter Society #4 in Ammannsville. After graduating from La Grange High School, I attended Texas A&M University in College Station where I earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting. My background includes corporate accounting in the medical, insurance, oil and gas, and banking industries. I am active in my home parish of St. John the Baptist in Ammannsville where I serve as a lector, Eucharistic minister, Rosary leader and usher. In our local KJT society I am on the Building Fund Committee. In my spare time, I enjoy football and baseball and can usually be found in The Zone of Kyle Field on Saturday afternoons in the fall.
