New Jersey Area Brings the Spirit of Christmas to The Center in Asbury Park

01/02/2026 

On Sunday, December 21st, Knights, Dames, and Year of Formation candidates provided a hot dinner to clients at The Center in Asbury Park. As one of our Local Area Project Support Grant recipients, The Center benefits from our ministry’s efforts, which include serving Sunday dinner four times each year.

The clients were delighted when Santa and Mrs. Claus (Michael Marino, KM and Cheryl Marino, DM) made a special appearance. The Center handed out gifts it had purchased, making for an evening filled with laughter, music, and delicious food.

We also want to thank Bob Tanzola, KMOb and Karen Tanzola, DMOb for founding this ministry years ago; their initiative has helped foster a warm and lasting relationship with The Center.
