“Here I am!”  Your spiritually adopted baby was born this month - - nine months after his/her mother conceived him/her.  The only change at birth is a change in the external life support system of the baby.  He/she is no different now than he/she was before birth except that he/she breathes and eats differently.  He/she is truly a miracle.  He/She began as a 46-chromosome cell and has developed over the past nine months into this unique human baby.  Never before in history, nor ever again, will anyone exist that is just like your spiritually adopted baby.  Your prayers saved his/her life.  Thank you on behalf of all of the little babies that you cared enough to pray for him/her and his/her mother.  
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!

 Spiritual Adoption Baby Shower-- June 18/19, 2022
Congratulations!  Your Spiritually Adopted Baby has been growing and thriving thanks to your persistent prayers over the last nine months.  Now is the time to celebrate the birth of these children and the amazing life that God has in store for them!  Help the SPARK and TAB Teens to imitate the Magi and provide gifts and assistance to the fearless families of these children as they embark on the path of LIFE that they have chosen. 
During the weekend of June 18/19, after each mass we will host a “baby shower” where you may donate much needed items for baby and parents.  These items will be sent to Birth Haven (Newton, NJ) to help continue their cause of assisting struggling pregnant mothers.  Birth Haven has provided a list of needed items below.  In addition to the items on this list, diapers, wipes, baby clothes and blankets are accepted as well. 
The SPARK and TAB teens are so grateful to you for traveling along this path as we prayed for and educated ourselves about the beautiful gift of Life our Lord continually shares with us!  God bless you all for your prayers and generosity!
