Halloween Carnival
In October of 2010, we had our Annual Halloween Carnival for both the children of the Parish as well as the surrounding neighborhood. Games, prizes, sweets and pies prepared and donated by the Knight's wives, and a Haunted House built by the local Boy Scouts were all a part of the fun.

Scholarship Program
In March and April of 2011, we sponsored breakfasts for our Youth Scholarship Program. Our goal was to be able to double the value of the two scholarships we awarded last year. We met this goal and were able to award a $1000 and a $500 scholarship to two college-bound high school seniors. The scholarships were awarded at the Graduation Mass on the first Sunday in June.
