May is PREPARES Baby Drive!!! In May, we honor the Blessed Mother and celebrate Mother’s Day! Our four-parish church family is doing just that with our May Baby Drive to restock the PREPARES headquarters Baby Boutique at St. Edwards and the Christ the King baby closet. Our most needed items are: baby wipes; diapers sizes 5,6,7; clothing sizes 18 mo. To 5T. Other diaper sizes and clothing sizes are always needed as well. Also, diaper bag backpacks are appreciated by new moms. We are unable to accept car baby seats. All four parishes will have PREPARES donation sites in the parish narthex. Our wonderful PREPARES volunteers will deliver the donations to the baby closets. PREPARES in our state just celebrated 10 years of ministry! PREPARES has grown to 197 parishes assisting parents in need during pregnancy and the first five years of their children’s lives. None of this would be possible without the generous donations of parishes like ours. Please join us in May by supporting this pro-life, pro-family organization with your contributions to our baby closets. For questions about our Baby Drive or to volunteer, please contact: St. Bridget: Judy Curran, [email protected]; Mary Jo Gasparich, [email protected] Assumption: Stephanie Read, [email protected] Our Lady of the Lake: Mary Margaret Brown: [email protected] St. Catherine: Katie Fleming, [email protected]
