Once again you heard the request for new baby items in support of the Father’s Day baby shower and you delivered. We received many generous donations and gifts including: two car seats, two pack-n-plays, 10 blankets with two being handmade, books, sound machine, toys and stuffed animals, lots of diapers (in multiple sizes) and baby wipes, bath towels, and wash clothes, burp clothes, shoes, socks, baby outfits, onesies, pajamas, baby formula, and baby toiletries. The items were share with Grace Community of Topsail and St. Joseph’s of Burgaw. One mother at St Joseph’s had been waiting weeks for a donated car seat. Imagine her surprise when she saw one with her name on it! The pack-n-plays were also a prized gift as many families don’t have a separate baby bed.
Cash donations of $637.50 was collected and will be provided to Catholic Charities- Cape Fear Region for the needs of Families and babies.
Thank you for your help to support others and All Saints. The families and young children were delighted with the gifts received from All Saints.
Stay after church in Hampstead and help make sandwiches for the homeless staying at the Good Shepherd shelter. Bring a loaf of bread or two and either peanut butter or jelly. This is a great outreach opportunity for the whole family to participate together.
When you bring Holy Communion to those who cannot attend Mass, you are bringing them the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This important ministry to the sick and homebound visits care-facility residents at Woodbury/Stonebridge, Arbor Landing, and Davis/Champions on Sundays and Holy Days. This touching ministry has been led by Linda Choken, who is moving, and there is an opportunity for a new leader to coordinate visits and training.
Send an email to us if a loved one is moving to a local care facility, if you’d like to be trained for this ministry, and especially if you are interested in finding out more about leading/coleading this sweet ministry team.
