During October and November, the Christ Child Society of Central Illinois is accepting donations of items to place in layettes for babies who are at risk or born to families in need. The Christ Child Society makes these layettes available to 13 hospitals throughout the Diocese of Peoria.

To see if your parish is participating, check the bulletin.

To make a monetary donation, put it in an envelope with “Christ Child Society” written on it and place the envelope in the collection basket at Mass.
