A big thank you to all who so generously contributed so many wonderful baby and children items to the Walking with Moms in Need Program. I wish you could have seen the excitement in the little boy as he dug in the box that was delivered to Generation House, where a family lives, who is part of our ministry, He especially like the Christmas socks. Late that day I received a message from the mom stating. “Thanks for everything! We love you and your church very much, we are blessed.” We were able to share the items with other families, and what is left we will deliver to Birthright, who we partner with, and who have supported the women we are serving. Thank you all so much for being so thoughtful and giving to those in need. Walking With Moms in Need of St. Julie Billiart and St. Peter parishes in N.
