St. Paul’s has a long history of ministry to those in need. Our ministries change over time as we seek to stay current with today’s needs.

At the present time, our focus is the children in our community.  We support the Food for Thought food pantry in our local high schools. Food for Thought discreetly provides food to high school students who experience food insecurity in their homes.

Outreach to high school students inspired our application for grant money to provide scholarships to First Generation college students. We were awarded a generous grant which we have allocated toward supporting students entering McHenry County College. Our aim is to continue to offer scholarships and support young people in reaching their goals.

In association with the McHenry County Faith Leaders Collaborative, we provide hands-on support to food distribution in the county’s neediest areas. This food distribution supports hundreds of our local families.

If serving the community is where you find Joy, there is always a need for one more pair of hands!
