Thanks to Tim Webb and The Wilmeno’s for a successful New Years Eve Party. There were over 90 people in attendance and a good time was had by all.

When there are five Sundays in a month we attend the 7:30 Mass to honor the Knights and Ladies that have been called by God to their Eternal Reward. On this Sunday the Mass is said for them. Following the Mass there is a breakfast for the Knights and their families (only) held at the Knights Hall. This is an all you can eat breakfast for $2.50 per person and children under 12 are free. The total cost is $7.50 per person, $5.00 of which is subsidized by the Council. The $7.50 minus the food cost is donated to OLQP Parish Debt Fund.

Joe and Donna are parents of 2 boys (Michael & Daniel).

They are extremely active in the Knights of Columbus and Ladies Auxiliary respectively. Both of them attend almost every Bingo on Fridays. Joe runs the Tuition Program and is a Trustee. Donna makes pies and cakes for Bingo along with working in the kitchen.

Both of them assist Knights of Columbus members in need by bringing members to and from Knights functions, visiting sick members, care for the homes of members while they are away, etc.

They are also active with the American Legion and VFW.

They visit Senior Citizens of the Parish, take them to doctor’s appointments, take them out to eat and shopping.

They are a perfect example of what the Knights of Columbus stands for.
