The St. Timothy Parish Ladies of Charity are sponsoring a Baby Shower to help many moms and families who are in need in our local area. We are asking for donations of new, unwrapped baby items such as diapers, clothing, wipes, bath wash and lotion, and slow-flow bottles. We are also sponsoring a collection to benefit Harvest House in Buffalo. Monetary gifts to Harvest House help to continue safety-net services which benefit 14,000 people each year. We're making empty baby bottles available for this collection. Please consider taking a bottle home, filling it with spare change, and returning by May 2nd. You can help us make a difference with these two very worthwhile causes! Thank you for your generosity!
During the weekend of April 24-25, we will take up the 2021 Catholic Home Missions Appeal special collection. Over 40% of dioceses in the United States and its territories are considered mission territories because they are unable to fund essential pastoral activities needed in their communities. This appeal helps our brothers and sisters here in the U.S. who do not have access to basic pastoral services like Holy Mass, the sacraments, and religious education. Your support funds religious education, seminary formation, lay ministry training, and other programs that build vibrant faith communities right here in the United States. Please be generous.
