Our annual Baby Shower was an outstanding success for 2023! Our three chosen charities Catholic Charities Adoption Services in Little Rock, Change Point in Hot Springs and New Beginnings in Benton each received a carload of items. We distributed a total of 3,289 diapers, 5,742 wipes, 24 blankets (mostly handmade), 274 articles of clothing, 9 diaper bags, a high chair and one booster seat with many additional necessary baby items. Also collected was $1,082 which will be divided among the charities. Our deliverers were Pat Miller, Jo Ann Arnold and Diane Shaw. We thank them and the volunteers who helped relocate and sort items to the Upper Hall after each Mass and during the week. Thanks to all of our generous parishioners for the donations to this project and for sharing blessings for those in need.
