AIM WOMEN’S CENTER AND CLINIC: “Dear Triumph
of the Cross Parish Family, We cannot thank you enough
for your gracious support of the ministry of AIM through
the Baby Bottle Campaign. Your gift this year of $2942.65
was an incredible blessing to those we serve. The baby
bottle money enables us to support the mothers who have
chosen life for their babies. We do this by providing each
new mom with a beautiful bag of baby essentials after the
baby is born, continued help with diapers and formula the
first year and then diapers the years after that. Because of
your commitment to AIM, we are able to walk with our
moms, supporting them and their children for three years,
if they need our help.”…. “Please know that you are in our
prayers every day. Sincerely in Christ for Life, Sharon
Maedke.”
Last month's presentation on Relics by Fr. Huber was
both interesting and informative. Sponsored by the TOTC
Parish Council.
FINANCIAL REPORTS: We have mailed to each household that made financial contributions during 2014 a report
of your contributions. Please review these reports. If there
is a concern about the information, please contact the Parish Office. If you did not receive a listing of financial contributions but should have, please contact the Parish Office.
