St Mary’s was in need of new kneelers in the church as many of the old ones were broken. When Fr. Darius presented the request for new kneelers to the finance council of the church he knew it would cost alot of money.

 

To help reduce the cost, Fr. Darius reached out to the Knights of Columbus to remove the old kneelers, saving the parish thousands of dollars.

 

 

The Knights removed over 190 kneelers in less than an hour and a half!
