Community

Knights of Columbus
The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic family fraternal service organization with 1.6 million members.  It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families, and young people.  The Knights of Columbus membership is open to all Catholic men age 18 and older.  They are involved in a number of programs and projects that benefit the community.
The Knights of Columbus #624 is located at 2055 South Bird Road.  For more information contact Doug Skinner at 323-9663.

Rainbow Table II
In response to the perceived need for another community outreach to provide meals for the hungry, Central United Methodist Church invited the faith community to participate in this interfaith mission.  Modeled on the original Rainbow Table, based at St. John Lutheran Church, Rainbow Table II began in the spring of 1998.  Each participating church assumes the responsibility of setting up, preparing, serving and cleaning up for a wholesome meal every Tuesday evening.
Rainbow Table II is funded through donations and is a completely volunteer organization.  A major source of food is a monthly allotment from the Federal Government funneled through Second Harvest Food Bank at Catholic Social Services.  However, Father Walling generously funds St. Teresa two months a year.

In addition to providing meals, St. Teresa has assumed the responsibility of collecting and sorting warm clothing donated by member churches.  These are distributed at the Thanksgiving meal.

New volunteers are always needed.  We particularly would love to have more cooks.  Please contact the Parish Office at 342-8861, if you would be interested in volunteering or if you have any questions.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul
The Society's purpose is to provide direct aid to those who suffer, and to help individuals reduce and even eliminate the causes of their suffering. Society members use their own resources, sharing not only possessions, but the valuable gift of their presence.
The St. Vincent DePaul Society Thrift Center is located at 2425 E. High St.  Their hours of operation are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and Thursday 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.  They are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

For more information, you may call 325-9111 or 325-8880.

Secular Franciscan Order
The SECULAR FRANCISCAN ORDER (formerly known as Third Order) was founded over 800 years ago by St.Francis of Assisi and is canonically established by the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church.

Franciscans believe that all have a special, noble calling, but cannot achieve it alone... we need other people to help us seek God and to serve others.
To be a member, one must be well-grounded in Catholic-Christian doctrine and have a true concern to do something with your knowledge and concern for our fellow human beings and for themselves. St.Francis said, "I HAVE DONE WHAT IS MINE TO DO, NOW YOU DO WHAT IS YOURS TO DO".

The Our Lady of Mercy Fraternity gathers monthly, at St. Joseph Church and Parish Center.
