Knights lending a Hand

On Thursday December 11, 2025, seven Knights gathered at the Community center to transfer Christmas decorations from the Community Center storage area to the Narthex.  Once at the narthex, the boxes were carefully opened and the contents and empty boxes were moved into the Ushers room for future use. Those seven Knights were: David Ybarra, Doug Karpan, Mike Fitzgerald, Jim Ouimet, Roberto Diaz, John Owen, and Jesus Medina.  On Saturday, December 13th, 2025, eleven Knights arrived at the church to set up the Nativity scene and install the garland decoration around the top of the sanctuary walls.  The nativity pieces base was constructed and then each piece carefully positioned; after which many poinsettia plant were moved from the Community center and placed around the Nativity scene.  The Knights taking care of this task were:  Dan Murphy, Lou Lemons, Doug Karpan, Mike Fitzgerald, Marc Evans, Jim Ouimet, and John Owen.  While this was going on, Joel Lopez, David Ybarra, John Espree, and Jack Ramsden were installing garland in the sanctuary.  That was quite a task because the garland was hung quite high and had to be secured with hooks and screws – no problem for these guys.  It seems that whenever there is a call for action, Knights answer the call and so it was again on these two days.  Well done men.
