Crisis Pregnancy Centers and Maternity Homes are an integral part of our community and crucial to the mission of the Gospel of Life. The challenges of the pandemic are presenting Crisis Pregnancy Centers with more abortion-determined women who feel hopeless about their pregnancies, as well as women seeking a quick reversal of chemical abortions. With most volunteer staff temporarily unable to assist, as many are of post-retirement age and sensitive to the risks of COVID, Crisis Pregnancy Centers and Maternity Homes are currently relying almost entirely on the support of the Church and supportive donors to ensure resources, including qualified staff, remain available to women in need.
