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."
