"Everything that you bear is light, all that you look for is weighty. Rejoice, I say, since in exchange for affliction you will receive glory; for what is light, something weighty; and for the temporary, an eternity will be yours."
— St. Peter Damian

Supporting Moms: One Diaper at a Time 👶
Parishes are invited to receive and accompany our neighbors in need during this Lenten season by supporting the Marisol Family Lenten Diaper Drive.
Parishes can participate by hosting a diaper collection, encouraging parishioners through pulpit announcements, bulletin notes or a “Fill the Crib!” or “40 Days, 40 Diapers” challenge. Catholic schools and youth groups can also engage through service projects, competitions, or creative awareness efforts that help build a culture of accompaniment.
Every diaper donated is a tangible way to walk alongside families in need. This Lent, your parish’s generosity can be a powerful witness to Christ’s love in action.
