Heroes Among Us

Join Us in Honoring Veterans & First Responders
The 4th Degree of Our Lady of Joy Knights of Columbus is proud to host our Annual Appreciation Dinner: “Heroes Among Us” on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at 6:00 PM in Our Lady of Joy Parish Hall.
This special evening is dedicated to honoring the brave men and women of our Military, Veterans, and First Responders—those who place themselves in harm’s way each and every day to keep our families, communities, and country safe. The Patriotic 4th Degree was founded to instill love of country and duty of citizenship, and this dinner allows us to pay tribute to those who sacrifice so much while asking so little in return. Each year, we recognize outstanding honorees who embody service, courage, and selflessness. The proceeds from this event directly benefit local Military and First Responder organizations, ensuring that those who have given us so much continue to receive the support they deserve.
