For more than 20 years, The Bucktown Boys, founded through LUDOVICUM Knights of Columbus Court #4663, have compassionately served meals to individuals experiencing homelessness. Their ministry began through the Feed Jesus Program at St. Joseph Church and continues today through their devoted partnership with Lantern Light. Through years of steadfast commitment, they have embodied the spirit of service and community that remains at the heart of our mission.

We are also honored to recognize Susan Mays, whose compassionate service has touched countless lives through her nearly five years of volunteer work with Lantern Light. A retired educator from Orleans Parish Schools and Caddo Parish Public Schools, Susan has generously supported our ministry by organizing donations through the Lighthouse Bible Study Group and faithfully assisting with our Food Bank and meal programs. Her kindness, dedication, and servant leadership continue to inspire all who encounter her.

During this year’s Gala, we celebrate and give thanks for the generosity, compassion, and enduring commitment of these remarkable honorees whose service reflects the mission and spirit of Lantern Light.✨🎉
