If you have a bottle for the Baby Bottle Project, it is time to bring the bottles back to St. Hubert next weekend, February 8th and 9th (with any amount of change). There will be members of Respect Life Ministry to assist you when you bring your bottle to Mass. Thank you!

Take home an empty baby bottle after Mass, fill it with your spare change, and return it to St. Hubert the weekend of February 8th & 9th to support women in crisis pregnancy.
