Clare's Cove Thrift Shop  
ph: (845) 638-2892

Opened in September 1995, our purpose is to serve the community with quality clothes and household items at reasonable prices. We supply Birthright with baby items, clothes as needed. We also help Catholic Community Services and Social Services with items that they request. St. Christopher's Inn at Graymoor in Garrison, NY, a home for homeless men, or men recovering from addictions is always in need of clothing, and so, items we can't sell, we donate to their thrift shop.  All profits are donated to our parish, St. Francis of Assisi.

Members of this group help keep our church clean by regularly dusting and sweeping. They also help decorate the church and keep the flowers fresh throughout the liturgical year.

Knights of Columbus 

Knights are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who are committed to making their community a better place, while supporting their Church. Imagine being part of an organization that fills your heart and your mind with the joy of giving to others and the feeling that comes with making a difference. Being a Knight is more than camaraderie; it is being involved with your community; it is supporting your local Catholic Church, while enhancing your own faith; it is about protecting and enhancing your family life.

Catholic Daughters 

The motto of the Catholic Daughters is "Unity and Charity." The purposes of the organization are to participate in the religious, charitable and educational Apostolates of the Church. Catholic Daughters of the Americas engages in creative and spiritual programs which provide its members with the opportunity to develop their God-given talents in meaningful ways that positively influence the welfare of the Church and all people throughout the world.  Catholic Daughters of the Americas strives to embrace the principle of faith working through love in the promotion of justice, equality and the advancement of human rights and human dignity for all.

CDA Court St. Clare of Assisi #2648

CDA Court St. Clare of Assisi #2648 currently meets on the second Monday of the month in Rader Hall at 7:00pm. Our Court has contributed to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Seminarians; we are beginning a project with the Smile Train, and we adopt a family at Christmas Time. We have collected over 500 pairs of shoes for Soles for Souls; we have a cookbook that we published to raise funds for St. Francis' Religious Education program and these are just a few of our many projects.

We encourage all Catholic women 18 years and older to join the Catholic Daughters of the Americas. It is a wonderful way to live your faith in unity and charity.
