Great work gentlemen!Assisting Fr. Gaughan
Fr. Gaughan has been advised to cease driving. We, as Knights supporting our Priests, would like to have a core group of volunteers willing to drive Father to and from various places in and around town. This service would allow Father to continue to shop for his own needs and continue to be self sufficient as much as possible. In addition to his personal needs he is also on tap to give "Last Rights" to those in need, especially during emergencies. If you can provide this important service, please contact Tony Reade. Thank you in advance!Submitting Nominees for Knight/Family of the Month
