Our Lady of Lourdes has launched a local support group of Walking with Moms in Need, which is a nationwide, parish-based initiative to increase support for pregnant and parenting mothers in need. It works to ensure that any woman who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, or parenting in difficult circumstances, can turn to her local Catholic Church and be connected with the resources she needs. Volunteers walk with moms throughout the motherhood journey, offering them authentic Christian friendship and ongoing support.
Inspiration
Walking with Moms in Need was launched by the USCCB on March 24, 2020, in honor of the 25th anniversary Pope St. John Paul II’s encyclical Evangelium vitae (The Gospel of Life).
In that landmark encyclical, Pope St. John Paul II challenged the Church:
“With great openness and courage, we need to question how widespread is the culture of life today among individual Christians, families, groups and communities in or Dioceses. With equal clarity and determination we must identify the steps we are called to take in order to serve life in all its truth”. (EV 95)
