“With entering our third year of society bearing the threat of Covid-19 and the absolute isolation we have all endured because of it, all of us are at greater risk. This event and future ones the Knights and Our Lady of the Holy Rosary parish coordinate will help us all reconnect with each other through much needed social interactions. Social distancing and optional mask protocols will be respected. Let’s get together as we are all in this together,”
