Knights of Columbus (Virtual) Baby Bottle CampaignThe QHR-Wea Knights of Columbus council is passionate about supporting Pro-Life organizations and causes. In years past, our council has conducted an annual Baby Bottle Campaign between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day to raise money to donate to Wyandotte Pregnancy Clinic, Nativity House, Vitae Foundation and St. Thomas Aquinas Walk for Life.
This year, the pandemic has kept us from passing out our Baby Bottles to collect your loose coins and currency, so our council is instead sponsoring a “Virtual Baby Bottle Campaign” that we hope all council members and parishioners will support.
There are two ways to do so: One, we have registered our parish to take part in the Wyandotte and Olathe Pregnancy Clinic Virtual Baby Bottle Campaign so that you can give to them directly on-line via credit card through this link:
https://secure.ministrysync.com/ministrysync/event/ website/home/?e=20149
Or, two, if you would rather donate through our local Knights of Columbus council to support all of the above-mentioned Pro-Life organizations, you can simply prepare a check made out to “Knights of Columbus” with “Pro-Life” in the memo line and either send it to our Financial Secretary, Dave Borgerding, or drop the check in the collection basket at Mass in an envelope labeled “Knights”. Dave’s mailing address is: 3285 W 194 th St, Stilwell, KS 66085.
Thank you for supporting our Virtual Baby Bottle Campaign and saving the lives of unborn children and their mothers!

Continue to Support the Parish During the Pandemic
Many people have asked how they can continue to give while Mass is closed to the public and the Church office is closed. The best way is to fill out an automatic withdrawal form. The form can be mailed to the Church office. For those who prefer to pay by check, please mail them to the Church office. Rice bowl donations can be made by check by writing rice bowl on the memo line. At this time we don't have a secure place for people to leave checks when no one is there, but we are getting the mail and taking deposits to the bank on a regular basis.
Please visit our Give page HERE for additional information. -
