APR 15: SOFT KNEELERS FOR PM CHAPEL "Discovering the Carpenter Within"


Let's do it! "Praise the Lord!" came the words from the Presentation of Mary Sisters as Brothers (l-r) Ciano, Rene, Bert, Ed, Noel, Boy, Lino, and WGK Ben hammer-in the leather and foam to the seat kneelers at PM Chapel. Accomplished last April 14, the 8824 Knights proudly made their mass offering on the Sunday mass the next day. With great appreciation and echoing applause from the community, the PM Sisters thank the Council for a job well done.

Discovering the Carpenter Within The kneeler project cost no more than P2,000 in materials. The foam, nails/tacks, and adhesives were sourced out from external donors and brothers' garage. Perhaps, a greater part of the project cost was the free labor and talent provided by the 8824 Knights. For them, however, the sweat did not matter at all. What prevailed was the inner fullfillment that came after the last nail was driven. "Whew! I like this job!"

Proud to be Knights of Columbus!
