Father Michael Kearney and Deacon Doug; were up at the Altar, with Bishop Hicks during Mass.

We had 4 Commanders; in our Honor Guard, from the Joliet Chapter.

All our Joliet Chapter Sir Knights looked great!

We had a few KOC State and two Supreme Officers; attend the Mass & Banquet, at OLM.

The Bishop’s Burse was after the 4 PM Mass. Our Banquet was afterwards in our Parish Life Center (PLC).

Our Joliet Chapter President; announced the event.

We were honored to have our State Deputy; Lloyd Reinkensmeier, at OLM also.

The star of the show was Bishop Hicks.

Our Joliet Chapter Officers presented Bishop Hicks with a $6000 Check.

And an Anniversary Cake.

Members of the OLM Parish; did a great job assisting at the Banquet and supporting OLM’s Grand Knight, on a Challenging Evening.
