Support of the Prince of Peace Family Picnic
Support of the Prince of Peace Family Picnic
Council: 13181 - SABATTUS
Project Description:
The Brother Knights of Council #13181, including Chaplain Johnson Sacreties, GK Robert Michaud, James Daigle and Rick Jensen pitched in to assist in the first annual Prince of Peace Family Picnic. This event was organized by the wife of James Daigle – Lisa Daigle, with the full support of the churches in the Prince of Peace Parish. As we have all been isolated for many months due to Covid-19, this event was put together to give parishioners a fun and relaxing afternoon to get together with food, music, and outdoor games. It was unclear how many people would show up at this event, but in the end we estimated that over 250 people decided to come out. The weather was fantastic, and there were activities led by our Parish priests. We also welcomed the new nuns that have taken up residence at Holy Cross.
Our Brother Knights were active in the set up and tear down of the tables and chairs. We also staffed the grill and the food distribution tables, making sure to abide by current safety protocols. Over 160 hamburgers were served and nearly as many hot dogs. There was also pulled pork, chili, salads, and many other side dishes and cold soft drinks. Knights from many other Councils also participated and I am sure their reports will read similarly. In all, this was a huge success for the Parish and was a great way to reconnect with one another after being apart for so long.
