Holiday Caroling Festivities” was founded, and is organized, by Knights of Columbus member Vincent J. Leinen, motivated in part, by his father’s 20-year plight with Parkinson’s disease. Inspiring communities to bring joy and enlightenment to seniors and care-givers has since evolved and is now a nationwide initiative from California to Florida involving over 1,000 volunteers.

This FREE and rewarding local event is open to individuals and/or community groups of all talent levels, ages and faiths. If unable to attend, you’re encouraged to take your own group or individually visit your local senior centers or shut-ins. This simple act of kindness can make a difference and add true meaning for all involved this holiday season.

This event is in memory of the late Nancy Sweeney a prominent contributor to the quality of life in the San Fernando Valley and the Holiday Caroling Festivities
