LENT RESOURCES
The Knights of Columbus St. Francis de Sales Council #14408 is hosting a Bottles for Babies fundraiser to protect the unborn and benefit the life-saving work of Elizabeth’s New Life Center! Elizabeth’s New Life Center helps women who are considering abortion choose life for their babies by providing free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, infant care items, and parenting classes. Through our contributions, we can defend life by extending compassion and support to vulnerable moms and families in our community.
The school will be partnering with the Parish and the Knights of Columbus to help fill bottles for babies.
The students can collect coins and cash at home to fill their bottle.
Once the bottles are filled, please return to the school office.
All baby bottles are due by Friday, March 8, so the school can add to the Parish collection that is due on March 10.
If there are any questions, please contact the school office.
