RESPECT LIFE MONTH

October is Respect Life Month and the Knights of Columbus are honoring this month by conducting a fundraiser and supply drive for the Pregnancy Resource Medical Center (PRMC) in Rosenberg. The Knights will be distributing fund raising baby bottles after all the Masses on 9/30 and 10/1.  We ask parishioners to place their contributions in the bottle and return them to the collection baskets located in the narthex throughout the month of October.  We also encourage parishioners to contribute to much needed supplies such:

• Diapers, especially 5M and 6 M sizes
• Pull ups
• Baby wipes
• Formula
• Baby clothing especially 6M to 12M sizes
• 6 or 8 foot tables and chairs for their classrooms

Gently used baby products are also welcome.  Additional information on the PRMC can be found HERE.
