Jim Goodson speaking to the knights about Pro-Life activities

The 2012 Baby Bottle Campaign was conducted from Mother's Day to Father's Day, May 13 - June 17 under the leadership of the Pro-Life couple Jim and Patricia Goodson.  With 708 bottles available for distribution, 420 were taken after the masses on the first two weekends.  Each woman attending mass on Mother's Day weekend was given a carnation.

A total of 309 bottles was returned within two weeks following the campaign's formal conclusion.  Although parishioners were encouraged to return the bottles on Father's Day, many were returned each weekend to a basinet in the narthex.

The final tally of the campaign was $6,237.87, with $2,432.97 in coins, a significant amount which required special procedures to tabulate.

With the flowers distributed on Mother's Day costing $378, the net profit was $5,859.87 distributed as follows:
     $2,125.00 - Sacred Heart of Jesus Respect Life Commission
     $3,000.00 - Arkansas Knights of Columbus State Council for ultrasound equipment to be used at critical sites in Arkansas
     $734.87 - Reserve

There were 27 knights Involved in conducting this campaign, and they, along with some of their spouses, donated 206 hours to its success.
