Wappingers Council #1646 was chartered on June 16,1912. We are aligned with Church of St. Mary, Our Lady of the Falls, Wappingers Falls, NY. We have provided charitable services for St. Mary’s Church, and other local organizations for more than 110 years. Some of our activities include presenting rosaries to children receiving their first Holy Communion; donating to St. Mary’s Religious Education and St. Mary’s food pantry, as well as preparing food baskets during the holidays for local families; maintaining a memorial garden and Monument Dedicated to the Unborn in St. Mary’s Cemetery; providing financial assistance to seminarians, supporting the St. Mary’s Respect Life Committee, sponsoring blood donation drives, and supporting local youth sports programs. Wappingers Council #1646 collaborates with other councils in the Hudson Valley Chapter to do charitable works which are too big for one council. For example, we support Special Olympics, Maternity Home of the Hudson Valley, Habitat for Humanity, sending ill children to the Marian Shrine in Lourdes, France, and supporting Veterans programs
