On January 7th, the first Saturday the new year, Knights and Dames in the Philadelphia Area gathered for our monthly First Saturday Salve Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish. Mass was celebrated by Father Justin Freeman, O. de M., the parochial vicar of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Overbrook, Philadelphia.

Members shared breakfast at Ivy Hall, home of the International Institute for Culture and briefly discussed the upcoming 2023 March for Life and other upcoming business and events. Following breakfast, Knights and Dames assembled meals for shut-ins and those in need.
