baby towels and blankets, diaper creams, undershirts,
sleepers, socks, outfits, sweaters, wash cloths, baby

SHARELIFE SUNDAY
“The guiding principles for our rich tradition
of Catholic stewardship emphasize the
importance of sharing time, talent and treasure
with those around us. Ultimately, our lives are
defined by how we’ve used the gifts we’ve received. We
need to be active and engaged in our society, sharing the
blessings we have, as best we can. That involvement can
take many forms, one of which is charity. In our region, we
have the chance to exercise Catholic charity in a truly
meaningful way through ShareLife, our annual charitable
appeal. Please consider supporting ShareLife, the annual
fundraising appeal of our Archdiocese, during this Lenten
season.”
Bricks will be on sale in the lobby after all Masses this
