An Advent Collection Benefiting The Purple Project

As we prepare our hearts for the birth of Jesus this Advent, St. Raphael Religious Education invites our parish families to share the love of Christ by donating baby items to benefit The Purple Project, a nonprofit organization that supports young mothers who choose life for their babies.

Every baby deserves to be welcomed with love, and every mother deserves encouragement and support. Through this collection, we can offer practical help, share hope, and remind these mothers that they are not alone.

Let us make this Advent a season of generosity as we celebrate the precious gift of life and prepare to welcome the Christ Child.

Thank you for helping us share God’s love, one little blessing at a time!
