October is Respect Life Month

Each October the Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life. During the month, we are asked to reflect more deeply on the dignity of each human life. The USCCB theme for this year is: I Came So That They Might Have Life.

By reflecting on Jesus’ presence in the Eucharist, we ask Him to transform our hearts to protect and cherish all whose lives are most vulnerable.

To celebrate the Sanctity of LIFE at Holy Infant, our parishioners are invited to help support the ministries of Pregnancy Support Services, our local crisis pregnancy center, and Room at the Inn, (a maternity home for homeless women and their children in Greensboro).

Parishioners are invited to purchase one (NEW) item from one of the lists below. Gift cards to Walmart will be used to purchase food and baby items for the two ministries (Please staple receipt to the gift card if this is chosen).

The purchased items will be brought back UNWRAPPED, to any mass you attend on Respect Life Weekend, October 12/13. Gifts will be collected in the Narthex as you enter for Mass.

Gift cards should be taken to the parish office during normal business hours. Please refer any questions to Diane Gerding.
