St. Patrick Parish has maintained a strong, committed partnership with both St. Vincent de Paul and Birthright of Kokomo over the years. We appreciate the faithful and ongoing support our parishioners continue to provide to both of these ministries through the gifts of time, talent, and treasure. Whether it's the St. Vincent de Paul Sharing Sunday contributions, providing needed supplies for new mothers, volunteering hours at either ministry, or financially supporting their work in our community, we appreciate the many ways our parishioners partner with St. VdP and Birthright.

In addition to these two important organizations and their life-changing work, St. Patrick has been able to partner -- to varying degrees -- with other groups in our community that are impacting lives through their work and ministry as well.

Check out the list to see if you would like to help with any of these organizations. Contact the parish office (452-6021) if you would like more information. And thank you for your continued support of St. Patrick, St. Vincent de Paul, Birthright, and others who are serving as the hands and feet of Christ.
