Share the Dream Spotlight: St. Paul Ladies Guild

This summer, 25 different charitable organizations, scholarships and endowments are participating in the Putnam County Community Foundation Share the Dream program. The fundraising program offers proportionally awarded grant prizes to participants who receive at least 10 donations of $25 or more between May 1 and Aug. 31. Each of the 25 organizations will be highlighted in this series.

St. Paul the Apostle Ladies Guild is dedicated to helping the youth in our community. The women of the guild believe that it is their responsibility as well as the community to help educate the future generation.

To accomplish this mission, the Ladies Guild established an endowment in 2002 with the Putnam County Community Foundation called the St. Paul the Apostle Ladies Guild Memorial Scholarship.

Its scholarship is used to sponsor a college-age Catholic youth from the parish each year. The goal is to grow the endowment so that the guild can impact more youth by awarding several scholarships yearly.

The St. Paul’s Ladies Guild has a great deal of history in the community and is proud to be such an active organization within Putnam County.

The Ladies Guild would love for its entire parish to become involved in donating toward its endowment as well as community members who want to take part in impacting students’ future.

Scholarship recipient nominees will be selected by the St. Paul’s Ladies Guild committee and approved by the board of directors of the Putnam County Community Foundation.
