community. The principles of the Order have remained intact as established by

Ladies Auxiliary
The Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary was established to
assist and promote the welfare of the Knights of Columbus. They also promote
charitable activities and sociability among its members. The Auxiliary also
meets monthly at the Knights of Columbus Hall.
Sewing Groups
The Parish as a Sewing Circle comprised of dedicated women who
have a special skill in quilting. These ladies meet one day a week in the Parish
meeting room. They prepare a number of quilts for the Annual Quilt Auction and
Picnic and Fall Supper Raffles.
Also the parish has been divided into neighborhood groups who
are responsible for preparing one quilt per group for the Quilt Auction held at
our Summer picnic. Many of these are quilted in the parish meeting room by
groups quilting in the evenings.
Church Choir
Our church choir is an excellent way to share your special
talent for song with others. This is a mixed choir of all ages and new members
are always welcome. The choir practices regularly several months prior to the
Christmas and Easter seasons. The fruits of their efforts is beautifully
demonstrated at Masses during the Christmas and Easter seasons as wells as some
holydays and special events.
Prayer Line
In an attempt to get people connected to one another through the
power of prayer, our parish offers a Prayer Line. You can serve others by
offering to pray in time of need, when requests are made; or you may make prayer
requests and others will pray for your requests. The parish has a very active
group involved in this effort.
