Luminaria - All Souls Day

The Knights of Columbus - Solidarity Council 55, braved the wind and the rain to successfully light lumnaria at Sacred Heart, St Francis, St Mary and St Peter Churches on Saturday Night, November 2.

St Francis Church
The Set up went well but around 6:15 the wind picked up and a light rain came down making keeping the candles lit and keeping the bags from catching on fire.  Around 6:30 the skies cleared, the wind died down and calm was restored.  The candles burned until about 7:30 and many parishioners came to see the memorials.

Thanks to all Knights all the Knights who worked that night and a special thanks to Knight Frank Chawaniec who planned the event.  This fourth year was our most successful with over 400 on display at the four churches.
