Respect Life Change for Life Baby Bottle Campaign Thank you for your support of the Baby Bottle Campaign again this year! Your generosity and compassion for others is so inspiring. $5,343.46 has been collected to date. It is amazing how a small amount of “change” can make such a big difference.

They will be used to purchase diapers, wipes and other items needed by their clients and their babies.
Interested in becoming a Catholic? The Catholic Church warmly welcomes new members and offers a process of formation called Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA.) It is open to those who are: not baptized, baptized Catholics who have not received all the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation), or baptized in other Christian communities. The RCIA offers a time to: – learn about Catholic theology and practices – meet other people who are on a similar spiritual journey – reflect and pray – grow spiritually and deepen your relationship with God. If you, or someone you know, may be interested in learning more about the RCIA, contact Joanne Denyer/Pastoral Associate at (419) 885-5791 or jdenyer@stjoesylvania.org.
