Members of the Light of Christ Council, along with some other parishioners, played key roles in helping to celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany on the weekend of January 4 and 5, 2025. Presenting gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh before Mass along with the presentation of gifts during the Offertory procession helped our volunteers earn their “King for a Day” status.

Members of the Light of Christ Council helped collect donations for the Salvation Army at the Boscov’s entrance inside the Berkshire Mall on the weekend before Christmas.

The Officers and Members of the Light of Christ Council of the Knights of Columbus wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Holy Christmas Season.
