PHILANTHROPIC MINISTRIES
St.
Paul Catholic Church has two very active philanthropic Ministries:
Catholic Daughters of the Americas
Knights of Columbus
 Catholic Daughters of the Americas
The Catholic Daughters
of the Americas is a Ministry of Catholic women who share their God-given talents in
the charitable and educational Apostolates of the Church. The Ministers strive
to fulfill Gospel teachings by working together to raise money for our
charities. Some of our charities are Adopt a Child, Bishop's Burse, Bishop
Gallegos Maternity Home, and Habit for Humanity.
Catholic Daughters of
the Americas, Court Sacramento #172 meet in the small parish hall at St. Paul Parish

women parishioners over 18 are eligible to join.

Knights of Columbus
Founded in 1882 as a fraternal order of Catholic men by Father
Michael J. McGivney, the Knights of Columbus live by the creed, "In service
to One, In service to all".
St. Paul Parish
Knights of Columbus, Council 6922 is always looking for good men and their
families to serve God and community, and we welcome all Catholic men over 18 to
join us.
The Knights of
Columbus many times are a behind the scenes group. Frequently the
Knights are either setting up tables and chairs or putting the
tables and chairs away.
Knights of Columbus
are involved in most events around the parish. If something breaks
then usually it's one or more Knights that fix it.
If you are a
practicing Catholic over 18 years of age and you want to be
"involved" with "happenings" at the Church , then join the
Knights!!!
We raise and contribute
funds to support the workings of our Holy Church and countless worthy causes in
our Parish and around the world. Some of the KC-sponsored activities and events
are:
- First
