Good Friday 3:00p.m. the time the Lord's Passion began.
Many of these Veterans can no longer out to observe tradional church services so this was the perfect oppertunity for the Knights to present this movie. And the Veterans thought this was a great way to spend Good Friday they were very happy to see us there. As was the staff of the veterans Home.

Knights in Action
Council#1830 has a long legacy of service here in Barstow Californa. As seen here in these old photo's of brother Knights in Action in 1961. From Fray Garces Council#1830.We are very proud to carry on this legacy of service but we are even prouder of the younger members of our council like Brother's Jesse Topete, Robert Silva, and Lil Moe Lessard that will carry on this proud and noble tradition to another generation of Council#1830 Knights in service! |
