There was much to celebrate on this year’s Nativity of St. John the Baptist. Illinois Area Knights, Dames, Auxiliary, and Year of Formation Candidates were joined by fellow members of the Federal Association to celebrate this feast day on Thursday, June 24th.  

This was an especially poignant occasion as Illinois and Chicago, areas especially hit by the pandemic, recently began the process of fully reopening and returning to life as normal.

Providing an additional sense of renewal, the Mass was followed by a dinner which captured the sense of joy and celebration felt by all those able to attend.
