faith here, is a humbling experience,” Lance says. “I love the people, the vibrancy and the family atmosphere.” The Knopik family enjoys camping, kayaking and watching movies. They also enjoy being involved with sports and music, and, most importantly, being involved at Our Lady of Lourdes. “Our Lady of Lourdes is where our friends are,” Dawn says. “It’s where we feel part of a community. It’s where we want to spend our time
and teach our kids that being a member of the Church is not just going to Mass on the weekend, but it is about community, working for a common good and making our faith central in our lives.” Lance and Dawn believe that in giving, they receive. They feel very blessed by the parish community and are honored to be involved in any way they can. They encourage others to find their place in their parish and give of their time, talent and treasure.
