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.
The Bogus Family
Casey and Stephanie Bogus welcomed their son, Theodore (Teddy) Arthur Bogus, on March 9, 2026. He weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces and measured 21.5 inches long. Consider blessing the Bogus family with a meal and with prayers!
