HAPPY MOTHER’S
DAY!
BIRTHRIGHT will distribute baby bottles (one per family) after all Masses
Mother’s Day weekend, May 10-11. We ask
that you take the bottles home, fill them with coins, cash, or check and return
them on the weekend of May 31-June 1. As
you will see from the insert in the bottle, you may make a donation in honor or
in memory of a loved one. BIRTHRIGHT
will send an acknowledgement card of your gift of life. This is an opportunity for our church
families to have hands-on involvement in a project that saves the lives of
unborn children and makes a lasting difference in the mothers’ lives. Thank you for any help you can give.
This weekend
Botticello Farms will offer for purchase hanging baskets. The truck is parked in the new parking
lot. They will also offer coupons for
hanging baskets for those who would like to select their own baskets at the
farm, as well as coupons for flats of flowers.
Proceeds will go to charitable causes.
