In the spirit of Charity, Unity and Fraternity, Fr. Emil Gerlich Council 10930 in Fort Worth held its Sixth Annual Trunk or Treat on October 26, 2024.All families and members of the St. Thomas the Apostle Church and all the surrounding community were invited to attend the free event. As a result, over 600 children attended with their parents and all enjoyed the event. There were 15 Knights, spouses, and other volunteers who served over 600 hot dogs, chips and drinks, directed traffic and supervised the event. Our Priest Father Ben attended and enjoyed the event. The event was promoted through the parish bulletin, Council and Parish Facebook, flocknotes, and emails. Families were encouraged to decorated their vehicles with Halloween themes and register their spot at the Trunk or Treat. There were 25 vehicles participating in the event. The participating vehicles had games and candy for the children. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies were presented to the best decorated vehicles. This was a difficult decision by the judges as all were winners.
