St. Pat's Opportunities for Kids to Experience Service
St. Pat's Opportunities for Kids to Experience Service, fondly known as SPOKES, was formed to introduce our children to Service projects in which they can make a difference to others and share Grace with others near and far. Let’s show our children that every effort we make, no matter how small, can make a difference in the world.
All SPOKES events are family-friendly opportunities to serve various charitable groups in our community and many of the events conveniently take place at Old St. Pat's on Sundays that Partner's Religious Education is hosted. We welcome all families to participate and share the gift of service with your children while making new Old St. Pat's friends! All events require pre-registration, for more information please contact the SPOKES team.
