How to submit a birth announcement:
You
may use an old coupon, or just send the
baby's name, date, parents’ names (with
mother’s maiden name), city of residence (or church area, if
you prefer), and how many children are now in the family. If
you send a photo, we will use it on our website, but probably
won’t have room to include it in the printed edition. michael.morrison@gci.org
