Blood Donor Program
"Donating one's own blood voluntarily and without compensation is a gesture of great moral and civic value. It's a gift for life." ~ Pope John Paul II, June 2004
Help save lives by giving blood at the Cathedral Parish Center. One pint can save up to 3 lives!
Make a blood donation and save a life. Every two seconds someone in America needs blood. But, only 5% of the eligible population actually donates! Are you able to help?
The Red Cross will be at the
Cathedral Parish Center to receive blood donations
Friday, January 20
from Noon to 6 p.m.
The blood supply for the Baltimore area is at a critical level. Just this past week a liver transplant required 60 units of O+ blood. Hospitals in the Baltimore area need our assistance as donors to enable them to perform needed surgeries. If you can donate please contact Judy DePauw at 410-323-8293 to make an appointment to donate at the parish center on January 20th. If you wish to donate at another time call the Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767 for assistance in setting up an appointment. Thank You.
