Caritas made it its mission to care for St. John鈥檚 students, and they did so in a myriad of ways. Caritas donated to the Greenfield Library in memory and in honor of members for their service to Caritas or the community. They awarded a prize at graduation to the student with outstanding service to the greater Annapolis community and two prizes to students with accomplishments in the field of music through the Belknap Fund. And, Caritas made significant contributions to provide need-based financial aid. In addition to their philanthropic support, they also provided events where students could meet and mingle with Caritas members.

Caritas鈥檚 other primary mission was caring for the community. Caritas introduced people to the College by offering a variety of informative events and social gatherings. Members had the opportunity to attend feature presentations of local, historical, literary, and artistic interest, including book and author presentations, musical and dramatic performances, lectures, and forums. There were many beloved events, including the Capitol Steps fundraiser, 鈥淢eet the Authors鈥�, and the annual Student Ice Cream Social.

Members helped fulfill these missions by advocating for the College locally, thus developing strong relationships between St. John鈥檚 and the Annapolis community. Members also supported the College by raising financial aid and book grant funds for students who needed additional financial help to remain in school.
