On Sunday November 10, parishioners from the San Marco Catholic Church gathered outside near the Virgin Mary Grotto after the 10:30 AM Mass. Joining them were the Knights of Columbus Honor Guard escorting the parish priests to dedicate a newly donated Veterans Memorial on the church grounds.
The stunning granite memorial was gifted to the church by Joseph and Maria Granda to honor those who have served their nation in the Armed Services.
Joe Batte, a Marine Veteran and fellow Knights of Columbus member, served as the emcee for the program, which included remarks from American Legion Post 404 Commander Lee Rubenstein.
After the conclusion of the dedication and the blessing done by Father Tim Navin, attendees adjourned for a luncheon inside the Parrish Hall, which was sponsored by the Knights of Columbus.
