Please join us for the "Best Breakfast Deal" in town, and support your parish KOC organization. The Knights have a special Lenten project to sell "Crooked Crosses" at our March Breakfast. The crosses are purposely imperfect. Each one is unique and different, just to remind us how unique, individual and beautiful we all are in God's eyes. He does not make mistakes! Prices range from $10 - $30. Blood pressure screenings will also be available by a nurse Thank you to everyone who supported the February Pancake Breakfast. The KoC donated the profits to the OLP "School Scholarship Program". We presented a check to Fr. Ted for $400.00 from this event. Thank you for supporting our efforts. Your support allows the KOC to help out the parish in several different ways. In the past two months we have also given $1000 towards the new parish/school security system, $350 for the 2013 Parish Calendar, and $400 to purchase one of three new vacuum cleaners for the church carpeting. |
