Parish Council Contact
Pastor:
As part of the nationwide initiative to walk with moms in need, our parish was asked to identify the local pregnancy help resources in our community that are currently available to a woman facing a difficult pregnancy. The needs of pregnant and parenting moms can be overwhelming, and the sources for help may not be apparent to those most needing support.
Our parish efforts to document and share local resources can make all the difference in the world for a pregnant woman and her child.
