Please join us in thanking those who made this incredible evening, serving over 1200 guests in our small parish possible (and please know, if a name here is spelled wrong, in the wrong category, totally missed the mark - we, as a parish team, tried extraordinarily hard to recognize every person who showed up and gave their time and we appreciate all that you do):
To our Knights of Columbus - who joyously served up 1200 Hamburgers and Hot Dogs, sliced and diced tomatoes, lettuce, onions and cheese, and served with smiles and grace! We specifically wish to thank Don Spindor, Chris Albrecht, Joe Giannandrea, Paddy Kopieczek, Tong Le, Rey Medina, Juvy Medina, Shirley Brunetta, Margaret Herod, Harry Parker, Colette Parker, Patrick Schafli, Ilse Schafli, Alberto Quilay, Jacek Bator, Dunstan Okere, Mike Hamaliuk, Pedro Martinez Cardona, Wally Coleman, Wayne Fingzies, Sanjay Reddy, Cathy Albrecht, Ron Phillips and Linda Phillips.
