First Rosary Social

Abp. Elder Council hosted the first of what will hopefully be many Rosary Socials. Knights were joined by St. Gertrude parishioners, family, and friends to pray the Rosary and enjoy some sweet ice cream. Fun was had by all!

Baby Bottle Collection for Old St. Mary Pregnancy Center

Abp. Elder Council was once again blown away by the incredible generosity of the parishioners of St. Gertrude. Our council conducted our annual baby bottle collection for the Crisis Pregnancy ministry at Old St. Mary’s. This is a picture of the 256 bottles we collected during the 2021 Baby Bottle Collection. Thank you again St. Gertrude!
