Knights from the Springvale and St. Thomas Council Knights of Columbus put on a potluck dinner and honored Father Phillip Tracy for his many years of service at St. Therese of Lisieux Parish.
The evening started with Springvale and St. Thomas Knights, along with their wives, attending the 4:00 Mass at Holy Family Church. Eight 4th Degree Honor Guards were also on hand to follow the procession to the altar.

Following the mass, everyone proceeded to the Parish Hall for dinner. Each person brought an appetizer, an entree or a dessert. There was a wide variety of delicious food and dessert to choose from!
Father Tracy was also on hand. Father will be leaving St. Therese of Lisieux Parish at the end of June. It was only fit to express our thanks to Father for his seven years of dedicated service to the Parish and to wish him well on his new assignment. Everyone present at the dinner signed a card and Frank Pease presented that card tom Father. District Deputy Ray Sargent handed Father a check in the amount of $2,274 from the proceeds of the Lenten Haddock Suppers to benefit the Parish.
