THANK YOU to all the Knights and their families who tolerated your absence while we assisted with Parking at this year’s Christmas Eve Masses
Thank you for your time and effort. We all had some nice moments to cherish that come from a cheery “Merry Christmas” and “Thank You for what you are doing to Help.” We received very positive and thankful comments from parishioners walking past us after parking or in driving away after stopping and asking for and receiving instructions.
For our Brothers who wanted to and were unable to attend this time, See you in the Parking Lot at Easter-2024!!!
