Council 158 members (11 members and 6 juniors!) ventured out to Marquette Park this evening to join Fr. Tony Markus, Lakeshore council's spiritual advisor, as well as, other Knights from the Mid-America District to partake in the monthly Novena Mass to Our Lady of Siluva at Nativity B.V.M Parish. The beautiful mass was led by Fr. Tony who warmly welcomed our new members and explained some of the artifacts within the Lithuanian Chuch, information that was interesting to both, first time and recurrent visitors. Ensuing mass, our members gathered for a group photo, which you can find in the photo gallery and were invited into the sacristy for refreshments and a meet and greet.

Preceding the Novena Mass, our members met for a wonderful meal at 'The View'. Being a Friday in lent, we all ordered the Grilled Lake Perch and were each pleased with the scrumptious dinner, excellent sercive and delightful company.

We look forward to seeing everyone at next weeks kulinarine klase, led by C-158 Member, Daiva!
