Each year the St. Paul Social Justice and Pro-Life 4 Life Ministries collect baby items for "Mother Mary's Baby Shower", a parish act of social justice held nine months before we celebrate the Incarnation. Donations are collected from parishioners and delivered in May to the Bishop Gallegos Maternity Home located in Sacramento. Items collected include diapers, baby clothes (size 0 - 36 months) receiving & crib blankets, crib sheets, baby supplies (wipes, shampoo, soap, cotton swabs, lotion, rash cream, etc.), car seats and baby carriers, and maternity clothes.

On May 4, 2012, members of the Social Justice Ministry delivered a truck full of diapers, maternity clothes, baby clothes, baby formula and other items to Bishop Gallegos Maternity Home. May you be blessed for your generosity. Your donations are greatly appreciated.

This is an annual event, so mark your calendars for next Spring when we will do this again!
