You may have noticed the K of C Ladies at a variety of church events-- we're the ones in the pink shirts! We support the Knights in many of their activities, but we also thrive as our own group, providing support to our Church, our Youth, and our Community:
- We regularly provide monetary assistance to the Religious Education program here at St. Francis. Our Ladies also make and distribute cards to our children making their First Communion and our young adults making their Confirmation, serve ice cream for our young religious education students at the end of the year, etc.
- We continually look to assist our St. Vincent de Paul society, and each year we provide Thanksgiving and Christmas food and gifts, in addition to monetary assistance.
- We fully support the Youth of St. Francis de Sales. Recently, a portion of the proceeds of one of our fundraisers helped to send several young adults to the National Catholic Youth Conference.
- In the county, we support Birthright with monetary donations and also baby supplies for mothers in crisis.
- Internationally we support the "Smile Train" which provides free cleft surgery for millions of poor children in developing countries, and we support St. Francis de Sales' sister parish in Haiti.
