As part of “Walking with Moms in Need” Initiative, we will be collecting diapers, wipes and formula for the rest of the summer. Please make it a part of your Sunday routine to bring these items to mass with you each week. Donations may be left in the Narthex in the baskets provided or contact Catherine George* for contactless pickup. Let’s provide an abundance for the babies and moms in need! Thank you for your caring and generosity.

And please be sure to pick up one of the “Prayer for Pregnant Mothers” prayer cards created by USCCB for this initiative as a gift from the Resect Life Ministry!
