Updated Summer 2022
What is Walking with Moms in Need? Walking With Moms in Need is a way that parish members can walk alongside local pregnant and parenting women in need and find ways to support them. To do that, we work to connect moms, moms-to-be, and families with each other, and with a range of information sources and services, as well as local pregnancy centers.
Walking with Moms in Need is a nation-wide initiative launched by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). All parishes are encouraged to engage in this ministry. Click HERE for more information about this movement.
