Collection for NEW GIFT ITEM for BABIES with AIDS/ HIV

Saturday evening, July 14, 2018 St. Michael Parish in Cranford will begin their annual collection of new gift items for babies with AIDS/ HIV and other fragile medical conditions. The collection will  continue through Thursday,  July 26, 2018.
Items can be brought into the church and placed at the special shrine of “Jesus with the Children” that will be located in the back pews of the church on the right side. All items received will be delivered to St. Claire’s Home in Elizabeth on July 27, 2018. Over the past years your generosity in this cause has been outstanding, and it increases yearly. Last year your donations overflowed six vans that were used for the delivery. We hope we can count on you again this year.
