Our Programs

In December 1884, Mary Virginia Merrick was told about a woman who would soon give birth and who had no clothes for her baby. Quickly organizing her sisters and friends, Mary Virginia provided a complete layette in time for the infant’s arrival. This was the beginning of what became the signature program of the Christ Child Society – the layette program. Other service programs soon followed as members identified ever-changing needs within our local community. 

Members lead, organize and support these “Follow the Child” programs that impact the smallest members of our community:
