The Knights of Columbus once again hosted the Breakfast with Santa on December 8, which featured not only Santa but Mrs. Claus, as well!

Now in its third year, the breakfast has become a much-anticipated tradition with our younger families.

 

Our Knights also sponsored a drive for Pinellas Hope.  Parishioners were asked to bring new hats/gloves/socks for the residents of Pinellas Hope, which the Knights wrapped.  Then on Tuesday, December 4 at 7:00pm, was the Christmas tree lighting, carol singing, cookies, and our K of C Santa had 250 gifts to distribute to the residents.
