Timing is everything, it’s often said. Even if unintentional. The parishioners and friends of Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Catholic Church in Norman experienced joy with the installation of the Mother of Mercy statue at the shrine currently under construction.

🎉 Celebrating Faith, Family & Service! ❤️🙏
What a beautiful Sunday afternoon St. Joseph Catholic Church Norman Oklahoma! After a wonderful Spanish Mass, it was a true joy and honor to present our August Family of the Month certificate to Jose and Margarita Rodriguez! Along with Father Jerome 👏🎉

The Rodriguez family is such a beautiful example of faith in action. Their love for St. Joseph, dedication to our parish, and servant hearts are a blessing to our entire parish family. ❤️
One of the special joys is seeing their two children growing up right here in our parish family, watching them grow in faith, surrounded by the love and example of their parents and our St. Joseph community. 🙏❤️

Jose and Margarita, thank you for all you do, for the love you give to our parish, and for allowing us to share in your family's journey. Your family reminds us that when faith is lived at home and shared with others, it leaves a beautiful legacy for the next generation. 🌟

Please join the Knights of Columbus St. Joseph Council #12819 in giving Jose and Margarita a BIG congratulations! 🎊👏

Congratulations, Rodriguez Family! May God continue to bless you, your children, and your beautiful family. We are blessed to have you as part of our St. Joseph parish family! 🙏❤️⛪

EPJ OKC will be hosting a National Retreat this year! In order to prepare spiritually, the team decided to attend Mass together at St. Joseph's! They then visited the Knights of Columbus and enjoyed their delicious breakfast and kind hospitality.

🎳🏆 WHAT A GREAT SEASON OF BROTHERHOOD & BOWLING! 🏆🎳

The Sooner Bowling League has officially come to a close, and what an incredible season it has been!

Brother Knights from councils across Oklahoma gathered week after week with their wives, families, and friends to enjoy an evening of friendly competition, fellowship, and plenty of laughter. From strikes and spares to the occasional gutter ball, every Friday night was filled with smiles, encouragement, and the true spirit of brotherhood.

We are especially proud to congratulate our own St. Joseph Council 12819 ("Holy Joe's") on an outstanding season, finishing in a remarkable 4th Place! 🎉🎳 Congratulations to our team on representing our council with great sportsmanship, fellowship, and pride!

A heartfelt thank you to Saint Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church for organizing another wonderful bowling season and to everyone who participated and supported this great tradition. Events like these remind us that the Knights of Columbus is about more than service—it's about building lasting friendships, strengthening our families, and enjoying time together as Brother Knights.

Here's to another fantastic season, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on the lanes next year!

Faith • Family • Fellowship • Fun
