Knights of Columbus Council 9937 chartered a bus to take 43 parishioners to tour the campus of Notre Dame and attend Mass at the basilica. Brother Francis, Oblate of St. Francis de Sales in Brooklyn, helped plan the trip with Brother Albin of South Bend, Indiana.Tom Dahlberg, council recorder, said attending the Mass was one highlight. He was impressed with the crowd in attendance and the choir. Another highlight was the abundance of Catholics on the campus. Dahlberg said there were crucifixes in the hotels and chapels, and a memorial in memory of the unborn children who had been killed by abortion.
Robert Tooman, grand knight of the council, talked about an upcoming event. “We are excited about Christmas. We take pictures of Santa with each of the elementary religious education students. More than 150 students will receive a free photo.”
