The St. Clare Knights of Columbus held a New Knights Social for all those who joined the Council during the past year.  Grand Knight, Mike Hahn and his wife Veronica graciously hosted the event at their home on Sunday May 21st.  The Knights also recognized Father Vincent for winning the Clergy of the Year.  A wonderful meal was served including burgers, chopped beef sandwiches, all the fixin’s, tea and desert.  Several tried their luck at fishing off the dock, but nothing was caught except fish stories and fellowship.  Thanks to Mike and Veronica for their hospitality.

If you’re interested in joining the Knights, please contact us here.  Maybe we can see you next year.
