Holy Trinity holds benefit baby shower
In celebration of a nine-month campaign during which members of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Peachtree City “spiritually” adopted a baby in danger of abortion, a baby shower was held in the parish hall Jan. 24-25 to benefit the Advice and Aid Pregnancy Problem Center in Hapeville, a Christ-centered resource that assists women in unplanned pregnancies. More than 50 families baked cupcakes for the event, the hall was decorated for a shower, and gifts for the “spiritually” adopted infants filled three playpens. One parishioner donated more than 40 hand-crocheted sweater sets. Holy Trinity parishioners will continue their prayer campaign and their support for the Pregnancy Problem Center.
