Respect Life:

Dear Friends,

As these uncertain times continue to affect us all in a multitude of ways, we cannot forget the impact that they are having on those in our community living through what would be tremendous times of transition even in normal circumstances! Over the past six months, Our Lady of Loretto has committed to supporting local women in crisis pregnancies who have made the brave and loving decision to carry their children to term and welcome them with joy into their families. These moms need our help now more than ever.

Baby #11, another BOY, is scheduled to make his appearance mid-April! Please follow this link to sign up to donate to this family. All donations for baby #11 are due no later than April 2. As we continue to navigate Covid restrictions, all donations can once again be sent to 74 Ranch Drive, Novato 94945. If you intend to order and have items shipped directly to us, please add YOUR name to the shipping address to help us keep track of what items are arriving.

From the families we have served:

Baby #5: Thank you for your donations! Baby #5, Aurora, was born on October 7, healthy and strong! From her mother:"All of this is amazing. I wasn't expecting so much. We are all grateful to have been given all these gifts. I was blown away! Thank you all so very much."

Baby #6: Sweet Diego was born on October 18! From his mother: "I feel very happy and grateful to everyone for such a beautiful and appreciable gesture.  I have no words to thank for everything we have lived though , on behalf of my family and especially me , I want to thank you for such beautiful gift."

BABY #9: Baby Angel was born at the beginning of March! His mother wrote to us saying, "I thank you with all of my heart for all that you have given me. Thanks! I feel very happy for everything that you do. Sending you a big hug!"

Baby #10: While we are still awaiting the arrival of baby #10. This baby's family had some special needs that we were able to meet through the funds that have been generously donated to project dresser over this past year. Thank you so much to those of you who contribute financially to this project. It allows us room for creativity when it's needed, to truly support the needs of the families we serve.

As the parish offices are still operating on a limited schedule, all donations can be delivered to 74 Ranch Drive, Novato.

If you would like to join our ranks, beyond donating items, give us a call! We always need help finding dressers, cleaning them up, delivering items. You name it, we need it- and we'd love to have you with us.

Any questions can be directed to Annie Troy – annie@ollnovato.org; 415-328-3231.

With many thanks,

The OLL Project Dresser Team
