Today, our brother Knights spent the day living out our faith by cooking and serving meals at the Daybreak Homeless Shelter.

A huge thank‑you to the Mogollon, Gasteier, and Watts families for donating and smoking the pork, your generosity made this meal possible.

And thank you to all the brother Knights and family members who came out to serve. Your time, compassion, and willingness to show up truly reflect what our mission is all about.

On this , the Knights of Columbus remember and honors the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their sacrifice reflects the greatest love, just like Jesus said: "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends" (John 15:13). We thank God for their courage, we pray for the families who carry their memory, and we lift our hearts in gratitude for the freedom we enjoy.
