Respect for Life  Committee

October Collection of Baby Items     2011
Each October, St. Robert parishioners collect baby items for families who seek help from the Women's Care Center (formerly called the Pregnancy Help Center).  Help a struggling family care for their little ones.  Needed items include:
     diapers of varying sizes
     onesies and socks
     receiving blankets and washcloths
     teething items and crib toys
Please bring NEW items to church and place them in the baby buggy.
 


Rosary for Life
All are invited to pray the rosary for the intention of the protection of the dignity of life on the first Sunday of each month, at 9:50 am, in church.

Respect for Life Committee
This group’s primary goal is to increase awareness of the dignity and sanctity of life and to promote respect for human life at every stage from conception to natural death.  Members of this Committee take part in such activities as the annual Life Chain, hosting guest speakers, sponsoring a collection of baby items for at-risk mothers in October, and ministry of prayer (the Spiritual Adoption program). New members are always welcome.  Please call the Parish Office, 414-332-1164, to get involved.



Pregnant and need help?
