The Women of Nativity (WON) will hold its annual Baby Shower after all Masses on June 1 & 2. Donations may be placed in the Pack N’ Play in the Narthex from May 25–June 2. If you prefer not to shop, you can drop a donation in the bucket in the Narthex after Masses on June 1 & 2. Your generous donations will go a long way in helping new mothers in our area. Thank You!
About
WON’s Annual Baby shower supports organizations that help mothers at various stages of the family process. For 2024, donations will support the MaRiH Center, Catholic Charities Pregnancy and Adoption Services, A Woman’s Choice, ECHO, Lorton Community Action Center, Divine Mercy, Tepeyac and Hope in Northern Virginia. Your contributions will help ensure that these organizations can continue to support expectant mothers and their newborns.
Through these organizations, assistance is given to women before the birth of their child and it continues after the birth so that their babies are clothed, nurtured, and cared for. Your contributions make it possible for these wonderful organizations to help others!
Please contact Angela Coghlan at acoghlan@verizon.net with any questions.
