Baby Bottle Campaign
St. Jude's will participate in the Baby Bottle Campaign again this October, Respect Life Month, to aid Shady Grove Pregnancy Center. Empty bottles will be distributed after the Masses on September 29/30. Please put change, cash or checks in the bottles during October and then return the bottles before Mass on Oct. 28/29. St. Jude parishioners have so generously contributed $102,548 over the past 18 years. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Shady Grove Pregnancy Center does excellent work helping women with difficult pregnancies, those who need post-abortion counseling, and those needing material assistance. SGPC has installed sonogram equipment which permits women to see their preborn babies. Most women reject abortion when they see their baby's image and SGPC expects with your help to increase the number of women they save from abortion each year. SGPC also has a Spanish Program Coordinator to better communicate with the Hispanic community. Thank you for your participation in this campaign.
Bishops Urge Prayers for LifeThe U.S. bishops urge our participation each Friday in a nationwide Novena for the Legal Protection of Human Life, August 3 – September 28. Participants will receive weekly email or text reminders to pray and fast, along with little-known facts about Roe v. Wade to share with others.
