As we prepare for the birth of Jesus Christ in this Advent season, we are reminded of the precious gift of the Holy Family. Many of today’s young mothers face some of the same challenges as the Holy Family and are in need of shelter, basic amenities, love and prayer. Their choice for life enables another child of God to be born. Please support these young mother’s choice for life.
Catholic students and their families are invited to collect: money, metro, phone and gift cards for young families. Christmas cards and greetings are welcome!
