The highlight of the Cub Scouts/Knights of Columbus Santa Breakfast was, of course, Santa. Throngs of St. Raphael families turned out for the annual event. Knights prepared the delicious pancakes, eggs and sausage breakfast and Cub Scouts were the servers. The breakfast was also a successful fundraiser. Nearly $700 in proceeds will be presented to Pinellas Hope, the diocese homeless shelter.
