Programs described in its return (8)
- The Council supports three parishes in the Greeley area by supplying food and manpower for annual fund-raising events during each parish's festival. The parishes will also request physical and financial support for specific needs. The Council takes out an ad in each parish's bulletin to help with the cost of the bulletin. One parish supports outreach to students at University of Northern Colorado. The Greeley area churches serve approximately 5,500 families. The funds raised help each parish's mission in providing for the religious and social needs of their members.
- The Council sponsors a Lenten fish fry event at one parish. The purpose is to provide a meal to parishioners for fellowship and to raise funds for school support. 6 fish fries were held at the parish with 684 meals served.
- Council 2160 provides social opportunities for its members and spouses by sponsorship of activities such as the Bingo 25th Anniversary Party, Christmas Season Dinner, Super Bowl Party and social meetings.
