The babies we "spiritually" adopted back in April are due to be born January 17, 2013. To welcome them into the world, we are planning a Parish Baby Shower. All parishioners are invited to participate. Please purchase a baby item, and bring it to the church, UNWRAPPED, beginning Saturday, January 5, and not later than Monday, January 14. The Ladies of the Sacred Heart may consider this their "something extra" for January, and bring the gifts to the general meeting on January 14. A display area will be set up in the narthex where the gifts can be left. The donated items will be sorted and then delivered to the local Pregnancy Help Centers in Hot Springs, Benton, Malvern and Little Rock, based on need. Disposable diapers, all sizes, are always welcome. Also, crib sheets, blankets, clothing for preemies and up to 18 months, powders, bath items, bottle, and just about anything else that parents would need for a newborn baby. Please DO NOT WRAP your gift. For information, call Mary Costello (501-922-3915) after January 2. A flyer, listing the needs of each agency will be available at that time.
