Helping Children Rest, Grow and Know They Are Loved
-
Each year, our parish family partners with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to building and delivering beds for children who do not have a bed of their own.
This year, we are preparing for our 5th Annual Sleep in Heavenly Peace Bed Building Day on:
Saturday, August 1
9:00 AM until approximately 12:00 PM
No experience neededThis project is more than a service day. It is one simple, practical way we live our Catholic faith: caring for children, supporting families, and responding to real needs in our community with love.
A safe bed gives a child more than a place to sleep. It offers comfort, dignity, security, and a reminder that they are not forgotten. -
How You Can HelpThere are two important ways parishioners and families can support this project:

This project is a beautiful opportunity for our parish families, Faith Formation families, and parishioners of all ages to serve side by side.As followers of Jesus, we are called to notice the needs of others and respond with compassion. Through this project, we are not only building beds. We are helping build a community where children are valued, families are supported, and love becomes something visible.This project connects directly to our call as Catholics to serve Christ in our neighbor. When we care for the needs of children and families, we are practicing love in a concrete way.
