Ash Wednesday Charity Dinner a Success

The Knights of Lafayette Council sponsored a charity dinner with proceeds going to Richard Simade, a seminarian at St. Mary Seminary. Nearly 200 dinners were served, and Fr. Pete Colletti presented a check to Richard for $500! Richard greatly appreciated the donation to help defray the cost of his education towards the priesthood.

A special thank you goes to State Deputy Robert Collins, Jr., and his wife, Linda; and District Deputy and Chapter President Ken Perk for supporting our efforts with their presence. And thank you to St. Michael Parish parishioners for their support and donations — you were very generous.

Pictured below are the eight hardworking Brother Knights who spent all day preparing and serving the delicious food, State Deputy Robert Collins, Jr., District Deputy Ken Perk, Seminarian Richard Simade, Fr. Pete Colletti, and Karen Mayher. Not pictured, but who also helped throughout the evening, are wives Pat Wolf and Pam Katona. A job well done, gentlemen and ladies!
