Huntsville parish holds Mass for deceased Knights and Ladies of Peter Claver
The Knights of Peter Claver and Ladies Auxiliary of Zone 4 came together on Nov. 8 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Huntsville to honor deceased Knights and Ladies with a Memorial Mass. Salvatorian Father Joe Lubrano, pastor of St. Joseph, celebrated the Mass and Deacons Rufus Biggs and Jacky Rodgers assisted.
