Ways to Help
Birthright Baby Shower! It’s time for the annual BirthRight Baby Shower! Celebrate the gift of your Spiritually Adopted baby with continued generosity to BirthRight Crisis Pregnancy Center. The Respect Life Ministry is collecting donations through Saturday, July 11. Please mail or drop off your gifts of diapers, clothing, burp cloths, baby blankets, and other baby items to the parish office by July 11. Checks and cash are very much appreciated and checks should be written out to BirthRight.
Our Daily Bread (ODB)
This week 35 casseroles, 98 homemade face masks, 1 financial donation, and 2 bottles of hand sanitizer were collected and delivered to ODB. 25 families participated.
We will continue doing casseroles again next week.
Click for a link to ODB's instructions and recipes here.
Just choose a recipe (or more), follow the recipe as it's written, bake in a 13x9 foil pan, let it cool, double wrap it with foil, label with type of casserole and date,
and freeze it. We'll be collecting the frozen casseroles on next Tuesday morning (6/30) between 10:00-11:00am behind the Church. Please bring your frozen casserole(s) in plastic grocery bags.
We'll also collect any homemade face masks that you'd like to donate.
Thanks for helping the ODB workers and their clients. If you have any questions, contact Bob at crhoopert@zoominternet.net
We are going to take the week following 4th of July off for the holiday. So we will not collect anything for Our Daily Bread on Tuesday (7/7).
