Family Adventure Day has been rescheduled for next weekend, October 18th, out of an abundance of caution for Hurricane Isaias. We hope you stay safe during the storm and we hope to see you there!
Small change can make a big difference for mothers and babies in our local community.
Here is how you can participate:
1️⃣ PICK UP a baby bottle in the lobby/narthex after any Mass next weekend (October 17–18).
2️⃣ FILL IT UP over the next few weeks with your spare change, cash, or checks. 3️⃣ RETURN IT to the church!
Every bottle filled helps provide free diapers, baby supplies, and vital care for mothers and families in need.
Thank you for your generosity!
