Baby Shower Dec. 3

Debbie Nocero

St. Aidan’s is Hosting a Baby Shower for St. Luke's Hospital

On Sunday, December 3rd at coffee hour

What better way to begin Advent than planning for a child! St. Luke=s Hospital Auxiliary keeps a layette closet of baby gifts for needy moms. Churches around the diocese help keep it filled by hosting baby showers throughout the year. Some moms really need a boost when they are feeling exhausted after giving birth and are facing financial problems ahead. Some are homeless or have special needs, for example, preemies need preemie-sized clothing. When we receive requests from the social workers, the Auxiliary happy to be able to provide a bit of tender loving care for these families and the moms are so grateful to receive some much needed items for their babies.
All items need to be practical and easily washable. Colors are needed for both boys and girls, as well as unisex or bright ones. Our Auxiliary members will put the items together and make an attractive package for the mom, tied with ribbons and a card.

All babies deserve to feel welcomed into this world - with a little help from us.
