SPRING MISSION PROJECT: Tables are available in the narthex and chapel for donations of baby items to support SUMMIT LIFE CENTER in Niagara Falls. Summit supports young women and men facing unplanned pregnancies with free services, including counseling, parenting classes, support groups, and community assistance referrals.

If you would like to donate these items, we will continue to accept your gifts through Father’s Day, June 21. If you prefer, there are also BABY BOTTLE BANKS available on the tables that can be used to donate your change to Summit.
