The Knights of Columbus Council 1762 is holding its annual Baby Diaper Drive during the month of October, which is Pro-Life Month. The diapers that you bring will be donated to “Options for Women St. Croix Valley” to help young families and their new babies. There is a crib in the back of the church where you can put your new and unopened bags, boxes and packages of diapers of any size. Options for Women is a pregnancy and family resource center that provides free and confidential services to families in the St. Croix Valley as they help to build families and restore hope.

Let us remember the prayer of our beloved Saint Patrick
May the Strength of God pilot us.
May the Power of God preserve us.
May the Wisdom of God instruct us.
May the Hand of God protect us.
May the Way of God direct us.
May the Shield of God defend us.
May the Host of God guard us.
Against the snares of the evil ones,
Against the temptations of the world.
May Christ be with us!
May Christ be before us!
May Christ be in us, Christ be over all!
May Thy Salvation, Lord, always be ours,
This day, O Lord, and evermore. Amen
Fr. John
