Holy Innocents Guild
Mrs. Jodi Maurici
The Holy Innocents Guild is a group of women at Saint Mary’s devoted to supporting young mothers, parents, and their children through prayer, generosity, and practical assistance. The Guild draws its name from the Holy Innocents of Matthew 2:16–18 — the infants of Bethlehem who, though unable to speak, bore witness to Christ by the gift of their lives. Their memory inspires us to defend the dignity of all children and to accompany families facing difficult circumstances.
Our primary outreach partner is the Life Center of Long Island, a local nonprofit that provides counseling, material goods, and ongoing support to women and families choosing life. Throughout the year, the Guild assists the Life Center by hosting our Annual Baby Shower, coordinating the Baby Bottle Fundraiser, and delivering donated items as needs arise.
