Past Events

Thank you to the brothers who came out in the cold on January 7 to put away Christmas!  About 10 Knights and Jim, from church, braved the chill and snow to put the nativity set and statues away and remove the lights from the Christmas Tree.

Thank you Frank Austin for coming out on Jan 25 to help put the statues back in their boxes and take the manger apart.

Thank you to Andrew Sugan Lawrence and Henry Wieck for planning our New Years Eve Pancake Breakfast – We had a great turnout of Knights to work on the project (see photos).  We had great support from the parish in attendance.  Thank you!

Thank you to the team lead by Iwan Santoso and Kevin Corcoran  to decorate the Christmas Tree and setup the manger outside of church. Despite the snow and cold, the team completed the decorations.

Thank you also to Iwan, Peter, and Darcy and Joe Myers for helping at the post-tree lighting party. They made hot cocoa and setout prepared desserts for the party.

 

Congratulations to 7 new Sir Knights!  They received their 4th degree at a ceremony in Cherry Hill, NJ with brothers from all over the state of NJ on December 10, 2017.  Please see the photo gallery for a photo of the brothers at the event.

Our first Habitat team completed the build on November 4. Our second team came out to brave 25 F temperatures at 8:30 am before the build day on November 11.  Thank you to all volunteer builders, prayer leaders and lunch makers for coming out to perform our charitable works.

 

The Knights of Columbus will continue to stay involved with this build into next year.  We will be back to  you for more opportunities to build on the project.
