On June 28, members of the New Jersey Area gathered to celebrate the Feast of Saint John the Baptist with a day of faith, fellowship, and gratitude. More than 80 Knights, Dames, Year of Formation, and guests attended a moving Mass at St. Catharine Church in Spring Lake.

Bishop Bismarck Chau, ChC, served as celebrant and delivered an inspiring message on the call to serve the sick and disadvantaged, a reminder that resonated deeply with all in attendance.

The Area extends its sincere appreciation to Michael Marino, KM, and Cheryl Marino, DM, whose hard work and dedication made the celebration possible. Following Mass, attendees gathered for a dinner reception at The Breakers, where members enjoyed an evening of fellowship and honored fellow Knights and Dames celebrating milestone anniversaries of their membership in the Order.

The joyful celebration concluded on a particularly festive note as attendees joined together in wishing Bishop Bismarck Chau a happy birthday. It was a memorable day of prayer, camaraderie, and renewed commitment to the Order’s mission in honor of Saint John the Baptist.
