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.
Pregnant and parenting moms-in-need are in our parishes and our neighborhoods. As Pope Francis reminds us, our parishes need to be “Islands of mercy in the midst of the sea of indifference.” Everyone in the parish community should know where to refer a pregnant woman in need. Walking With Moms in Need of St. Julie Billiart and St. Peter parishes in N. Ridgeville has volunteers eager to journey with you and help connect you with the resources you may need. To speak to a volunteer call 440-662-9068. Or email: [email protected]. www.stjuliebilliart.org/moms-in-need.
