Families at Old St. Pat's

SPOKES


Inspired by OSP’s Community Outreach Group (COG) SPOKES was formed to introduce our children to Outreach projects in which they can make a difference to others and share Grace with others near and far.
 We hope that we will see you often! 
Let’s show our children that every effort we make, no matter how small, can make a difference in the world.

ST. PAT’S OPPORTUNITY FOR KIDS TO EXPERIENCE SERVICE
For more information and to register for any of our SPOKES events, read the following information and follow the sign up genius links! 
Please note, RSVPs are required for SPOKES events!

All SPOKES events are family-friendly opportunities to serve various charitable groups in our community and many of the events conveniently take place at OSP on Partners Sundays.  We welcome all families to attend at least one event this year and share the gift of service with your children while making new OSP friends!  All events require pre-registration so that we can provide enough supplies and refreshments.   

For some events, donations are welcome, whether or not your family can participate so please consider contributing in that way if possible.

Please contact spokes@oldstpats.org with questions.
