We practice at 7:30a.m. sharp in the morning before the 8:30a.m. Mass. I know this sounds early but once a habit is made, it just be-comes natural.

Last year, Emergency Pregnancy Services provided assistance to over 900 families in crisis in our communi-ty. Diapers are the most requested material item and without your help, we cannot meet the community’s need. Please consider donating size
3, 4, and 5 diapers and dropping them in the large boxes in the church. Your support makes a tremendous difference to a local mom who cannot afford or obtain one of the most necessary of items for her baby. For 43 years, EPS has been educating women to make fact-based decisions about their pregnancy, and to empower them to make the right decisions and choose life for their babies. Along with your support, we are helping build stronger and healthier families in our community.

The donation is $10.00 and the envelope is included in your monthly church envelope packet. If you do not receive envelopes and would like to make a donation, there will be extra “Flower Envelopes” available at the back of church or you may use any envelope and put the appropriate information on it. Please clearly mark the envelope “EASTER FLOWERS”. You may drop the envelope in the offering basket or mail it to Lisa Hoeppner, 5387 Riverbreeze Ct., Jacksonville, Fl. 32277.
