Christmas billboard campaign grows

The Christmas billboard campaign sponsored by the Knights of Columbus has had success across Arkansas, with publications like the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and Arkansas Times covering the billboards as they steadily pop up.

Larry Witherspoon, a parishioner at St. John the Baptist Church in Cabot and member of the Knight of Columbus, started the campaign in the fall for parishes to sponsor a “Keep Christ in Christmas” billboard. So far, multiple billboards have been spotted in Central Arkansas. 

  • Immaculate Conception Church in North Little Rock sponsored a billboard near Sherwood on I-67/167
  • St. John the Baptist Church in Cabot has billboards on Kavanaugh across from Mount St. Mary Academy in Little Rock and outside Cabot on I-67/167
  • The Knights of Columbus assemblies came together to sponsor a billboard on I-30 in North Little Rock.
