Newborn Meal Trains
A new baby is a joyous occasion for our parish family! Our parish is organizing meal trains to help provide practical support and warm welcomes to our families with new babies. Your home-cooked meal can make a huge difference. If you’d like to offer a meal and help ease their transition, please sign up for our current Newborn Meal Trains listed below.
Do You Need a Meal Train?
Have you recently welcomed a little one into your family, or are you preparing for the birth of a new baby? We would love to help you get set up with a meal train, or help share one you already have started. Please reach out to Rachael Fornarotto, Director of Youth, Young Adults, and Young Families, at rfornarotto@oll.org for the next steps.
