Saint Paul's Outreach

Saint Paul's Outreach (SPO) is a Catholic missionary organization in the United States which serves college students and young adults. It is a private association of the faithful established in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. SPO describes its mission as follows: "to build transformational communities that form missionary disciples for life."

SPO sees itself as a movement of the "new evangelization" popularized by Pope John Paul II. Its ministry model is "reach, call, form, send."

Saint Paul's Outreach is part of the global network of Kairos, which is the youth outreach division of the Sword of the Spirit.
