Catholic Kolping Society
President: Roland Osterwinter
The Kolping Society of America has over 2200
members in 13 branches. We belong to the
International Kolping Society with over 3000 groups in
25 countries
We participate in a unique, family-like community. Our goals have been expanded to meet the needs of people in today’s world, and we are in the process of developing social outreach ministry. We help our members show our Christianity in marriage and family, profession, church, society, and state.
The Catholic Kolping Society meets three times a year in at the German Cultural Center in Veteran's Memorial Park in Gates. We attend the National Convention, which is held every two years, plus annual Leadership Seminars and the Advisory Board meetings. We help organize a Christmas Mass in the German Language on Epiphany Sunday every year, and we organize a food drive in the summer to benefit local food cupboards.
