DIAPER DRIVE- OCTOBER 4 & 5, 2025

Please also note:

• Abortions are up 67% in Illinois in the past three years.
• Fertility rates decline in the U.S. and abroad, while Illinois’ 2023 total of 72,143 abortions was the highest ever reported; this does not include in-home abortions, despite increasing concerns about the safety of the Abortion Pill.
• Thousands of women nationwide are coming to Illinois to have their abortion.
• A clinic in Uptown advertises abortions through 34 weeks of pregnancy.
• Our faith teaches us that every unborn child is made by God, loved by God, and given a Divine Purpose by God. For He said, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Jeremiah 1: 5
• Aid for Women helps thousands of women each year find solutions to problems in their lives, so they don't have to consider an abortion. The number of clients served increased by 24% in 2024. The need is greater than ever to support women who Choose Life! Visit helpaidforwomen.org to learn more and donate financially.
• If you know of anyone who might benefit from what Aid for Women offers, we welcome her call or text, 24 hours a day: (312) 621-1100.

Bring a pack or two of diapers to Mass on October 4th and 5th! Diaper donations can also be brought to the back of each church through Monday, October 6th. No cash, checks, or gift cards, please.

The Diaper Drive is coordinated by the SSJFX Respect Life Committee. If you’d like to help on October 4th and 5th, email
