As we embrace the changing seasons, let us also embrace our call to love and care for our neighbors. Christ calls us to serve and protect life, and one of the most profound, practical ways we can do that is by donating blood to those in critical medical need. We invite you to “color your fall with kindness” by participating in the upcoming Red Cross Blood Drive hosted right here at St. Angela Merici Catholic Church.
