The Mass was held in memory of the late Peter Viscomi and Frank Rahm as well as all deceased members of the Rev. Joseph Donnelly Council 11660.
Mr. Rahm, a longtime member of the Knights, died last month. Mr. Viscomi, a charter member of the Council, died last week. His funeral is at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church Tuesday, Feb. 21.
Mr. Viscomi was one of the first members of the Council when it was formed at OLPH at the suggestion of the former pastor, John Dombroski. Through the years, both he and Mr. Rahm volunteered for the numerous events, fund raisers and activities of the Council. The Council which has expanded and grown through the years and encompasses men from several Bayshore towns.
Mike Napolitano, Grand Knight of the Council, said that the Memorial Mass was attended by many members of the Knights and their wives.

Jarlath Quinn, pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help St Agnes Parish, celebrated the Mass.
