Pregnant and parenting moms in need are in our parishes and in our neighborhoods.
As Pope Francis reminds us, our parishes need to be “islands of mercy in the midst of the sea of indifference.”
Everyone in our parish should know where to refer a pregnant woman in need.
We thank God for the gift of mothers who continually sacrifice of themselves, and pray that our efforts will ensure pregnant women in need know that they can turn to our parish for support and assistance.
In order to assess, expand, and better communicate resources to local pregnant moms and families in need at the local level, our parish is part of a nationwide effort entitled: ”Walking with Moms in Need: A Year of Service.” We are taking an inventory of resources currently available in our area. Once completed, the results will be shared with the parish community.
We invite all parishioners to join with us during this Year of Service.
