On Monday, March 18, our parish Knights of Columbus council hosted a special event which paid tribute to the community heroes within the local boundaries of Baltimore and Howard counties.

As a child growing up in the 1970’s and 80’s, you would be hard pressed to find a radio station that wasn’t playing the band out of California named The Eagles. This talented group of musicians blended a soulful sound of soft rock and country music. I suppose the music fan in me always seemed to connect with the smooth and the harmonious sound of this legendary group.
