Brother Knight Tom Pannunzio finishes his work on the St. Jude statue niche/crypt - July 5, 2008

Brother Knight Tom Pannunzio has completely renovated the pedestal, and reworked the wooden arch work of the St. Jude niche to include a nicely custom-carved wood casing. He has created a skylight to help cast sunlight to illumine the crypt. The niche looks so much brighter now and especially when most of the votive candles are lit up.

We continue to give our thanks to Brother Knight Tom Pannunzio and to the Knights of Columbus, Council 7402 for their dedication and commitment to the parish.

A quick report on the business meeting and fellowship held Thursday, April 10th, 2008

If you didn't make it to the Knights monthly meeting last night, Thursday, April 10th, these are some of the things you missed out on:

Fellowship started at 5:30 pm. While the beer was chilling, we prepared a batch of Johnsonville bratwurst on the grill, complete with the complimentary sauteed onions and bell peppers condiment, served in a freshly "mayo-mustard painted" French bun.

The meeting started in earnest at 6:30 pm covering old business, new business and the roof project.

We missed you at the meeting and we hope to see you in the next one.
