The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic, family, fraternal and service organization. The key elements of our Service Program are faith, community, family, pro-life, and council activities. The State College Knights of Columbus council has donated over $260,000 and countless volunteer hours to various charities since 2009. The major fund raising activities are weekly bingo games, breakfasts and dinners served at the hall, and working two concession stands at Penn State football games.

Equally important, these activities provide opportunities for fellowship and social interactions among the State College Knights of Columbus and their families. A complete list of our donations and activities would be difficult to enumerate, but know there is a place for you and your Family to be part of the Knights. Please join!

The Catholic Daughters of the Americas is one of the oldest and largest organizations of Catholic women in the Americas. They donate to charities, administer scholarship programs and strive “to be helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorrow or sickness.” The CDA motto is “Unity and Charity.” Catholic Daughter women enjoy each other’s company at meetings and work hard for their parishes and communities. The program includes concerns of today’s church and society as well as issues that affect the well-being of women and children. Membership is open to any woman over 18 who is a practicing Catholic.

Local Court Blessed Madonna #2521 has a place for anyone looking to join other Catholic women with a desire to support our pastor, parish community and our local community.  We gather to celebrate together each month at the first Saturday Mass and follow with the recitation of the Seven Sorrows rosary together. Our meetings have a spiritual component to them as well as discussions on the opportunities for service and charity work. There are groups that cook for others; there is baking, crafting, along with different fundraising opportunities, and you can even purchase Weis & Giant gift cards at our meetings. Some of the many places the Court supports are:  Gabriel Project, Voice of Divine Mercy radio, OLV, St. Vincent de Paul, needy families in the OLV school, the Christmas Community Giving, and CDA National Projects. 

Regent (elected leader): Karen Kearney

Meetings:
Third Wednesday of the month (except July & December) at 7:00PM. in OLV Activities Center. Social at 6:30PM for members & guests.

Centre County Citizens Concerned for Human Life is a local pro-life organization, an affiliate of the statewide PA Pro-Life Federation. Our mission is to promote the respect for and protection of human life from conception to natural death through the use of peaceful and legal means. We present the truth about abortion, euthanasia, and infanticide.

We are available to speak to groups, churches, etc. on these topics and can provide a wide range of educational materials, information packets, and booklets. We sponsor the Mothers Day ad published in the Centre Daily Times every May, the local Life Chain held on Respect Life Sunday (the first Sunday in October), and a pro-life auction in February, and we support attendance at the March for Life on January 22. CCCCHL holds local quarterly meetings, and those interested may attend these meetings. Please contact us for more information on upcoming meetings. We also welcome new members.

Thrift Store Office Phone: 814-867-3131

In the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frédéric Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul, 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 and suffering.

Locally, SVdP operates a thrift store at 1300 Benner Pike to raise funds to help with rent, utilities, medical bills, auto repairs, and other needs. The Thrift Store is 100% volunteer run.  Clothing sorters and cashiers are always needed in the store. Store hours are M-Sat 10:00AM to 4:00PM. Contact Stephen McGregor or speak to a day manager at the Thrift Store for more  details.

Those who want to get involved in helping the less fortunate by becoming a member of SVdP Society will go through a training period and eventually be commissioned as a Vincentian. We have a general membership meeting on the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00PM in the Thrift Store. We also meet weekly to consider client cases for assistance. And we always welcome parishioners and community members who would like to volunteer in our Thrift Store.

Please see our web site at https://www.stvincentstatecollege.org/ and find us on Facebook.

As an affiliate of WAOB® in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, WJVM-FM 90.3 has been sharing our Catholic faith with Central PA since 2014. The “Voice of Divine Mercy” offers original programming that includes twice-daily Masses, prayers, scriptural reflections, vocation stories, and homilies by Bishop Mark Bartchak and his fellow bishops. Additionally, the weekly audiences and special liturgies of Pope Leo XIV are provided courtesy of Vatican Radio. Our local team produces four devotional programs each month for broadcast.

Our recording equipment is portable, scripts are provided, and new “pray-er” voices are always welcomed. As a non-commercial education station (NCE), we cannot accept on-air advertising, so the standard commercial and programming breaks are replaced by sacred music selections. We truly are a listener-supported and volunteer-run station. A “mini-monastery” is how one faithful listener describes our evangelization effort!

As a spiritual work of mercy, the station inspires Catholics to grow in their faith and invites other listeners to open their hearts to Christ’s message of mercy. Home or away, tune in to our station for accompaniment on your faith journey.
