A Community Caring for Life (ACCL)

Honor your mom, grandma, godmother or any other special person who has “mothered” you! A Community Caring for Life will be providing “Thanks, Mom, for Life” roses for Mother’s Day at all Masses. Look for our tables outside the church. Cost is a free-will offering. Electronic donation available. All proceeds will go to help  Rachel’s Vineyard (a retreat ministry for women) or Prenatal Partners for Life (a ministry to families who receive an adverse prenatal diagnosis).

If you love flowers, maybe you’d enjoy spending a morning prepping roses for our annual Mother’s Day rose sale. On Saturday, May 11, at 9 a.m., we will gather in the Good Samaritan Center at HNOJ to get the roses ready for sale. There are also opportunities to help sell after all Masses May 11 and 12. You may sign-up through Sign-up Genius, or contact Louise Magnuson. For more information, contact A Community Caring for Life member Laura Ricker.

Two of the sweetest things in the world are babies and deliciously glazed cinnamon rolls. A Community Caring for Life (ACCL) is hosting Baking for Babies Pro-Life Cinnamon Roll Bake and Sale event Jan. 19-21. This will be the 32nd year the ACCL has put on this event. 

The ACCL committee will give the money raised from our Baking for Babies event to local pregnancy centers who offer free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, education, counseling and supplies for mothers to make that life choice an easier one. 

Baking for Babies Pro-Life Cinnamon Roll Bake and Sale needs volunteers for frosting and assembling Friday and Saturday as well as selling rolls Saturday and Sunday. 

We look forward to having parish members come together for a great cause. Any further questions can be directed to Melisa Eckert or Angie Paske.
