Dear Brothers, Family, and Friends,
|
Fall is in the air and we had an amazing kick-off to the Season with the Fall Fest parish event. It was great to see Knights with their families and the parish as a whole attend this community event. Please see below some of the wonderful photos taken by PGK Manny and Br. Al Beronio.
|
A few shout-outs to Brothers Tom Kurtz and Mark Huff for representing the Knights in the Fall Fest committee and helping put together the event. Also, big thanks go out to PGKs Manny, Vinny, Stan Serafin, Dave Adams, Pat Noonan, along with Brother Tom Kurtz who helped washed and/or painted the statues at the Church. They look great!
|
We have many events coming up in the Fall and need your help to make them a success. Please contact me and officers@kofc.ws if you can help with any of these:
|
