The 1st Parish Blood Drive for 2022, sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, is scheduled for Sunday, January 16th, from 8:00 am until 1:45 pm at the Activity Center on Woodland Hills Drive.
 
The Knights of Columbus and Columbian Squires will be in the Narthex before and after each mass on January 1-2 – January 8-9 to assist you with an appointment so that you may donate.
 
Due to COVID, the Blood Center is not accepting walk-ins until further notice.  Please note that the Blood Center now tests all blood donations for the COVID-19 antibody in addition to our standard testing.  Donors can view their results online approximately 7 days post-donation.
 
You may schedule an appointment by emailing jnd.gurka@gmail.com or call Darien Gurka at (713) 628-0373.   Online appointments may be scheduled by visiting https://link.edgepilot.com/s/6e0a40b5/NQ2cTQ3G4UG9oNuEUO_sNA?u=http://www.giveblood.org/.   (Please enter the sponsor code 1220 for St. Martha Catholic Church)
 
The Blood Center will provide a Double Red Cell Aphaeresis, which will allow some donors to give two units of red blood cells from a single donation.
 
As always, the Knights of Columbus would like to thank St. Martha parishioners for generously giving the gift of life.
