Anually, the ladies help organize the Box of Joy and host the Ladies' Night Out (inconjunction with religious ed), and the Courtyard Dinner, plus a baby shower for Pregnancy Care to name a few.

St. Vincent de Paul Society
Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy ad suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.
As a reflection of the whole family of God, members, who are known as Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level. Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gathering and adherence to a basic Rule.
Organized locally, Vincentians witness God’s love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.
This group consists of members of St. Clare, St. Nicholas and Corpus Christi parishes who serve individuals and families experiencing poverty in our local community through a phone call and/or a home visit to offer assistance.
