Annapolis, Caritas Society 2010-2011
Founded in 1969, Caritas Society volunteers raise funds to assist St. John's undergraduates who encounter unanticipated financial hardship. Caritas also provides funding for the Richard D. and Mary D. Weigle Great Books Fund enabling deserving students to purchase their Program books. In 2006, the society established an endowed scholarship at the college. In addition to fundraisers and the annual membership tea, the group holds an ice cream social for the students in late August and luncheon programs during the academic year for members and their guests.
