This program, representative of our Catholic identity, values life. We believe that all life is precious. This program provides information, education and counseling to encourage expectant parents to choose life over abortion.
We not only seek to help prospective parents choose not to abort, but to also realize and understand the supports that are available to them after the baby is born. We understand that some pregnant women are troubled and apprehensive about their own ability to care for the physical and emotional needs of a new child.
We work with women to understand that supports are available to help them. We also help woman understand that should she decide that she is not ready or able to provide the loving home this newborn child will need, there are many other loving families who are desperately hoping/waiting for a child to love.
We can also work with a mother of a child who is under 12 months of age. In addition, we work with biological fathers of an unborn child or a child less than 12 months of age. All clients must be residents of Pennsylvania.
The goal for this program is for each parent to leave with a good understanding of their child’s needs to provide a better life for their child and themselves. Families that are enrolled in this program are seen monthly. At each appointment, families will receive a package of items for their child. A typical package may contain:
