From the Shady Grove Pregnancy Center for the Annual Baby Bottle Campaign.
Dear St. Jude Parishioners,
Shady Grove Pregnancy Center is so grateful for your support of the Baby Bottle Campaign at St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic Church! This year has been challenging transitioning into virtual in addition to regular bottles due to the pandemic. We appreciate your flexibility to work with us through the changes that this year has brought. Just think . . . a little change, changes lives! When your Church raises $11,611.99 through your Baby Bottle Campaign, you are intervening in the lives of babies and supporting young women who choose life for their babies by demonstrating the love of Christ!
The Shrine of St. Jude Baby Bottle Campaign and involvement with the Shady Grove Pregnancy Center helps those in our own community. Thank you for partnering with us!
With gratitude,
Maggie Downing
Executive Director
Shady Grove Pregnancy Center
From the American Red Cross for our continued support in hosting blood drives.
A Thank You from the American Red Cross - In 2020, the six Red Cross blood drives hosted by the Shrine of St. Jude resulted in 293 units of donated blood to patients in need. We are grateful to the volunteers who work with us during the drives, the Church staff who allow us to use the facilities and who prepare the facilities for us, and the wonderful donors. St. Jude’s is already off to a great 2021 with 34 units donated at the blood drive hosted on January 16.
Our best wishes to the parishioners of St. Jude’s for a safe and happy 2021. We look forward to seeing you at our next drive on Saturday, March 27 in Madigan Hall.
