Have You Signed Up Yet?
Brother Lanny Breczinski has done an incredible job of promoting Eucharistic Adoration BUT we still have a long way to go to achieve the Parish Goal of Perpetual Adoration.
We have over 180 Knights in our Council and there are 168 hours in a week. As the saying goes “Do the math!”
Standing guard for the King is what knighthood is all about. Please consider helping if you are not already doing so!
