Thanks to everyone who helped out.  In addition to the Knights, we had help from members of the Holy Name, the Confirmation Students and also some of the students from St John Paul the Great Academy stepped up to help.  We served around 150 meals and raised money for the Academy and also our sponsored Seminarian Nick Chapman.

Knights News 3/21/2024

First and foremost  - please keep in your prayers our Brother Ken Galitello who is in the hospital.    Remember him as   fights this tough and courageous battle.  

Our pancake breakfast is this Sunday at St John Paul the Great Academy.  This is the first time back since 2015.  The last time three was a snowstorm but we weathered (pun intended) the storm to have a successful breakfast.

We will have a initial setup at 10 am on Saturday probably lasting about a hour to get the basic layout going.

On Sunday we will open the kitchen around 6 am and the breakfast starts at 8.    Clean up will be around 12:30 so we need your support even if just for part of the morning.

Remember - wives, children and potential Knights are welcome to help out  - we will have a Knights recruitment and Ministry table set up.

Also - The Parish is looking for volunteers for the foot washing on Holy Thursday.  If you are interested, please reply to this email and I will get you in contact with the proper person.

Advent Breakfast

 We had a great team cooking for the Advent retreat on December 16th.

Thanks to Bob Severi and the gang for a great breakfast.  Thanks to Greg Nypert and Jim Cavanaugh who helped with setup and takedown along with serving .  We worked with the Holy Name, so thanks to Mike and Mark and any other members who stopped by to help.  Of course a big thanks to Don Rossi who always helps with the cooking.

We had a good turnout of Youth and this is good training for them to help with our Pancake Breakfast.

Someone remind me to take pictures next time!

Keep Christ in Christmas Magnet Sales
