PENNIES FOR BABIES Fundraising Ideas:

Loose Change Sunday - Ask parishioners* to donate whatever loose change they have in their pocket or purse when they come in or leave church.
A Penny-A-Year Sunday - Ask parishioners* to donate one penny for each year of life. For example, if they are 18, they would donate 18¢, if 65, it would be 65¢, if 80, it would be 80¢, etc.
Baby Bottle Sunday - Invite parishioners* to take a baby bottle home, put all loose change in it every day and return it the following Sunday.

* or your Knights of Columbus Council, Council of Catholic Women (CCW), or other group!

Your Diocesan Respect Life Department welcomes your suggestions. Please send them to: berdeaux@dioceseofvenice.org so they may be shared with others.
