Community Outreach
St. Paul’s parish actively supports people and organizations locally, nationally, and internationally and our Outreach Committee plays a big part in that! From inviting guest speakers in to help educate and inform the parish of important and worthwhile causes, organizing and coordinating donations and ensuring they reach their destinations, bringing news back to the parish about our foster children, stocking and monitoring our church Food Pantry, and so much more! The Outreach Committee strives to fulfil Jesus’ command to ‘love our neighbours as ourselves’, on behalf of St. Paul’s. The need is great in so many areas of the local community and the world, and St. Paul’s is grateful for those who volunteer and support our Outreach Committee initiates.

Designated Givings Program
Every month St. Paul’s highlights one particular charity or organization in need, for those who are able to support financially through our Designated Givings Program. Each of our “designated giving” organizations is identified by a number, and people can send in donations by indicating that number on their envelope.
E.g. #40 supports Kawartha Lakes Food Source
Designated Givings
DESIGNATED GIVINGS# 215 for the Month of October will benefit our six FOSTER CHILDREN in Latin America. St. Paul’s is their sole sponsor. It is only through our donations that they are comfortably housed, well nourished, much loved, and schooled for a successful future. We pray for their safety, especially in Haiti.
Annual St. Paul’s Christmas Dinner
Our long-standing annual Christmas Dinner has become well known tradition in Lindsay, as we provide a full Christmas dinner and dessert for anyone who may be alone, or without the means of having Christmas dinner. Thanks to our kitchen crew and many volunteers, along with financial donations St. Paul’s had been able to continue providing these dinners free of charge to any and all who attend!
