The annual PARISH BABY SHOWER was an outstanding success for 2022. Even with the challenges our world is facing in these unusual times, 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 baby items. We distributed a total of 3,501 diapers, 8,295 wipes, 47 blankets, 193 pieces of baby clothing, 24 backpacks/diaper bags, and 1 car seat, in addition to bath items and baby thermometers. Each of the Charities also received two checks totaling $405.00. All of these items were personally delivered to the various Charities by Karen Buchanan, Linda Durrett and Barbara Sweeney. Of course, this could not have been accomplished without all of YOU extremely generous parishioners as well as the team of volunteers who made it happen. Thank you all for the many blessings you shared with those in need.
