The Daughters of Isabella Circle #888, members are part of one of the largest Catholic women’s organizations with the purpose of uniting all Catholic women in a sisterhood to achieve their motto of Unity, Friendship and Charity.  Guardian Angels Circle hosts annual fundraising projects for area Pro-Life groups and Guardian Angels Parish and School.

The Giving Tree is an opportunity for Guardian Angels parishioners to help provide Christmas gifts to individuals and families in need. Every November trees are set up in the back of church with tags listing the particular needs of local residents that parishioners then purchase and donate.  

We are men of faith. Guided not only by our belief in God and the Catholic Church, but by our belief in each other, and in ourselves.

We are the Knights of Columbus. Believing that a man is defined by his actions as a follower of God, and as a leader in his community. Believing that a man is more than simply a man, when he bears the title of “Knight.”

“Dedicated to making a difference and building a Future…”

It is through five key areas of service – faith, community, family, youth, and fellowship – that the Knights of Columbus truly make a difference.

As Knights, our faith is our foundation. Dedicated to the Catholic Church’s growth and her good works, we support religious outreach and promote vocations in an effort to strengthen the faith that unites us.

Come and join us!

Meals on Wheels is a nationwide program that provides older Americans nutritious meals and safety checks at little to no cost. The meals can be delivered to your home if you meet eligibility requirements, or you can go to a congregate nutrition site for socialization and food. If you struggle with isolation and meal prep, then Meals on Wheels could provide ease and companionship.

Currently, there are no congregate dining sites in Carver County. Home delivered meals are available with a seven-day advance meal reservation. Registration can be done over the phone or in person at the Talheim Apartments (407 Oak Street North, Chaska).

Pastoral Care ministers go out and visit parishioners on a regular basis that are sick or homebound. If you are interested in volunteering or know of someone needing a Pastoral Care Minister please call the Parish Office at 952-227-4000, info@gachaska.org

Our Parish Pastoral Council meets usually on third Tuesdays at 7:00 PM in the Parish Office Conference room or the Saint Francis Hall.  Please contact Bill Van Hecke to let him know that you are coming.  The council discusses pastoral needs in the parish based on the lived experience of parishioners.  Together with the pastor, it seeks to offer a pastoral response that meets the practical and spiritual needs of the people as they carry out their desire to encounter and praise God.
