Baby Shower in support of Shifra Homes

An Invitation to the ladies of the parish to join the CWL for a Baby Shower in support of Shifra Homes.

On Sunday, June 11, after the 11 a.m. Mass, we are hosting a Baby Shower in the Parish Centre for the mothers and their babies who reside at Shifra House, a maternity residence and shelter for young, pregnant homeless women.

A light lunch will be served and we will need to track attendance numbers in order to prepare the luncheon. Complimentary tickets will be available on the weekends of May 27-28 and June 3-4. The only price of admission is an unwrapped baby gift. Among the much needed items are the following:

– Baby clothes (newborn-12 mo)
– Baby laundry detergent
– Baby products (wipes, baby wash, cream, etc.)
– Baby socks, bibs
– Teething toys, Soothers
– Baby scissors & nail clippers
– Baby hairbrushes
– Baby Tylenol, Tempra, Vitamin D drops
– Vaseline
– Nasal suction
– Baby saline
– Diapers, sizes 4, 5 & 6

For those who are unable to attend, but wish to contribute, please feel free to bring your baby gift and leave it in the Narthex. If you would prefer to make a financial donation, contributions will be gratefully accepted and Shifra Homes will issue tax receipts provided your contact information is included.

Please join us on June 11th and meet Nancy Romic, Executive Director of Shifra Homes, along with some of the young mothers and their little ones. We look forward to seeing you there!
