Members of the Knights of Columbus will be passing out baby bottles as you leave the church today. By supporting the Pregnancy Aid Clinic, the donations collected in these bottles will provide vital assistance to mothers facing crisis pregnancies. The clinic has three locations, Forest Park, Atlanta and Roswell. They have helped women choose life for unborn children since 1984 They uphold the Catholic Church’s teachings in all they do. The center offers free medical services, including pregnancy STI testing, and sonograms, as well as parenting classes, adoption referrals, chastity education, and mentoring. They can often save a baby by simply showing the mom the maternity and baby supply room, where they can get what they need for their child. Other times it is a free ultrasound that helps the mother see that wonderfully made little baby in her womb. Please take a baby bottle for your family to fill with coins, cash or checks and return them on or before Palm Sunday.
