Two great opportunities to support life this month! Thank you, St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Parish.

Support life this Respect Life Month by helping children and families in our community!

Diapers & Wipes for The Crossing
The Crossing of Manitowoc County has specifically requested diaper sizes 2, 3, and 5. We’re collecting diapers and wipes throughout October. Place donations in the bin in the Gathering Space under the bulletin board.

Coats for Kids
Help keep children warm this winter by donating coats for the The Salvation Army Manitowoc County's Coats for Kids collection through October 29. Bins are in the Gathering Space.

A package of diapers, wipes, or a warm coat can ease the burden on a family. Thank you for helping St. Peter the Fisherman put our respect for life into action!
