Walking With Moms in NeedWalking with Moms in Need is a nationwide, yet parish-based, initiative to increase outreach and support to pregnant and parenting mothers in need. The goal of Walking with Moms in Need is not to reinvent the wheel or turn parishes into pregnancy centers; rather, it is about building relationships with and enhancing referrals to various local pro-life pregnancy centers. If you would like to help your parish establish a Walking With Moms in Need program, contact the Marriage & Family Life Office at 707-566-3305. Go to:
