FOR THE LADIES OF Catholic Charities Auxiliary, it was an afternoon of style, long-time friendships and laughter with some help from their friends in the Knights of Columbus. For all the fun, the festivities supported the Auxiliary’s vital mission to assist Catholic Charities of Orange County through fundraising, volunteer work and public awareness.

Co-directors Diane Tippets and Kate McGregor created a team that raised over $20,000 to support Catholic Charities’ work to feed the hungry, console the hurting and care for the marginalized.
Held at San Antonio de Padua Parish in Anaheim Hills, the “Color Me Fashion” show involved the Chapter’s 45 members and the Knights of Columbus Council 9195, who served lunch to the more than 200 women in attendance. According to Vice President of Membership Brenda Ames, “Our chapter members work hard all year to raise funds through various events and also provide volunteer support for Catholic Charities at the Dorothy Cantlay Food Distribution Center in Santa Ana. In 2023, we raised nearly $160,000.”
