Day 296: Helping Catholic Charities

Today, the second collection at our parish was for the local" Catholic Charities Organization". We were happy to help out this organization because of all the good things they do. We have been involved with a few things directly and indirectly. Directly, is the annual Baby Shower that we have at St. Jude's over Mother's Day when we collect all types of baby items for the less fortunate of the diocese. Most everyone loves this project as we have a terrific response from many of the parish and we have been doing this for over 15 years. The indirect connection is that over 40 years ago dear friends (childless for quite a few years) finally got a long awaited call from Catholic Charities that a beautiful baby boy, Timmy, was waiting to join their family. I'm sure they too have a warm spot for Catholic Charities
