Last year we collected over 225,000 diapers for those in need and we’d like to exceed that total this year. We ask that you consider placing the purchasing of infant, toddler or adult diapers on your shopping list and bring them to your local participating parish. All diapers collected will be donated to assist families in your parish community. For more information, speak to your permanent deacon at your parish, nearby participating parish, or contact the Permanent Diaconate Office at 314.792.7431. We would like to stress the need for the larger size diapers, 3's, 4's and 5's. We ask you to pray for the success of this project and to please be as generous as possible.
