Listed here are organizations that meet at St. Catherine's but are necessarily directly affiliated with St Catherine's. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS: Organized as a mutual benefit society for Catholic laymen in 1882, the Knights have remained committed to 1. Charity; 2. Unity; 3. Fraternity; 4. Patriotism. Activities fostered by the Knights include funding scholarships, providing loans to Catholic Institutions, insurance programs for members and much more.

Terrace (off Grandview Rd.) Tel. 816-966-1492 RESPECT LIFE: As Catholics we support life from conception to natural death. Issues such as terminal care, living wills, euthanasia, and the death penalty all fall under this banner. We take an active part in the legislative process, help the Crisis Pregnancy Center with a baby shower each October and sell Mother’s Day Carnations for the Missouri Right to Life campaign. VOCATIONS COMMITTEE: Exists to create an awareness of the need for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. An effort is made to encourage those who are considering a religious vocation and to educate young people as to the possibilities that exist within this calling. Members actively support men and women who are currently committed to religious life. Men and women over 16 years are welcome at the bi-monthly meetings. SCOUTING: For information on programs contact: MISSOURI CATHOLIC CONFERENCE: Parishioners network with Catholics
