Men’s Club: In June of 1983, a Men’s Club came into existence under the chairmanship of the late and much loved Charlie O’Callaghan. This organization, which welcomes all men and friends of the parish, works for the good of the parish family. Its aim (like that of the Women’s Club) is to create a vigorous, vital, living and active community. This club sponsors and co-sponsors many parish activities, spiritual, social and charitable. Its purpose is twofold: supporting the parish, and building an involved community. Luncheons with guest speakers and social dinners are held throughout the year. Volunteers actively assist in many services to individual parish members. All men of the parish are invited to join and participate in the activities and fundraising.

Contact Men’s Club President

Weekly lunches are provided for the Kid Street School, parishioners provide and serve dinner to the homeless at Sam Jones Hall in Santa Rosa, and two rooms at Catholic Charities Family Support Center are sponsored. Donations are requested and occasional collections are taken at Masses for these activities. Volunteers are needed to assist clients in Nick’s Pantry and at the Christmas giveaway.

Areas covered include janitorial, landscape and irrigation maintenance and termite services as well as carpentry, painting, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and fire sprinkler repairs, replacements and inspections. The ministry is also responsible for long range planning and budgeting related to the physical facilities of the Parish.

Women’s Club: The Women’s Club sponsors and coordinates many social and charitable efforts. A directory is printed and distributed annually. All women and friends of the parish are invited to join and participate. On March 26, 1982, 36 women gathered after Mass in the bottling room of St. Francis Winery to form an organization that would become known as the Star of the Valley Women’s Club. Their reason was to promote a family spirit and serve the needs of the parish. To make it vital and caring, its first president was the capable and talented Agnes Kolling. While the principal reason for its existence is not financial, the Women’s Club has generated a significant amount of money for the parish.
