Meet Life extended

Missouri Knights of Columbus State Deputy Robert Hawkins announced at its recent convention in April that the Meet Life Campaign would be extended into Phase II and he asked members to recommit to the mission of reducing abortions throughout Missouri. “It’s exciting to see how Meet Life uses the compassion and resources of pregnancy help centers; the medical advancement of ultrasound technology; the latest in digital marketing and the generosity of the Knights and their families,” Hawkins stated. Meet Life Phase I generated more than $2 million. The number of abortions in the state now is at the lowest point since abortion became legal in 1973. Centers were provided with the ultrasound equipment and training. The Vitae Foundation provided its research-based digital marketing strategies to help connect women in Missouri with life-affirming pregnancy help centers.

Many ways to help

The 35th annual Irish Open Gala and Golf Tournament held earlier this month to benefit St. Patrick Center raised more than $520,000 to provide housing and support services to people experiencing homelessness. The Catholic Charities agency is seeking a team of on-call volunteers to help at the front desk on an “as needed” basis. This will include planned or unplanned shifts Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. For questions, or to get involved with St. Patrick Center as a volunteer, contact Samantha Christ, development specialist, at [email protected] or (314) 802-0681, or visit www.bit.ly/31z4pz7.

Sts. Peter and Paul Church, Eighth and Allen streets in the Soulard neighborhood of St. Louis, offers tours at noon every Saturday through November except for Oct. 19. The tour will be 20-30 minutes and highlight features of the church built in 1874.
