We thank those members wives and families that has helped and supported us through the years. We also would like to thank the parish office for their help on many of our events. Finally, many of you may not have realize that the past few years the Knights received help on some of our events from local businesses. We like to acknowledge and thank them. Almost all of these businesses get hit up for donations every day from different charities. They were kind enough to give help to our parish Knights.
