A Joyful Christmas Tradition of Faith, Family, and Fellowship
Parish Collaboration
During December 2025, the Knights of Columbus councils from Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church (St. Joseph the Worker) and nearby Saint Rita Catholic Church partnered to bring the joy of Christmas to parish families and our local community. Through the beauty of fresh Fraser fir Christmas trees, garland and wreaths, families gathered to enjoy the warmth of a glowing bonfire, festive surroundings, and plenty of Christmas music that filled the air with seasonal joy - Santa even took some time to visit from his busy schedule.
Children laughed, families lingered for photos, and friendships were strengthened as this shared tradition celebrated the true meaning of Christmas—Faith, Love, and Community. This special Partnership helped warm hearts throughout the community while supporting the charitable missions of both parishes.
With grateful thanks to our Priests, Knights, Parishioners, Volunteers, and Friends whose generosity and time made this joyful season memorable.
