CPC is Grateful! On Thursday, October 10th a record 400 people filled the Delta Hotel in Hunt Valley. Generous supporters provided underwriting for all event expenses. Donations received during the event and via mail amounted to nearly $90,000. We were also blessed with anonymous donors who matched that amount. These funds allow us to operate our centers. We extend a special thanks to all of our underwriting donors and our table hosts. The evening would not have been possible without your efforts supporting CPC's mission. GOD IS GOOD!!

Did you hear the news?

Announcing Plans to Open 328 Howard St. in 2020!! As part of the evening's presentation, CPC Board Chair, Matthew Bauer proudly announced that we now have funds to move forward with construction of our new location at 328 Howard St. next to Planned Parenthood. This center will provide FREE pregnancy tests, sonograms, counseling, and referral services to an under-served area and bring the message of life. After generous donations allowed us to gut the building, add a new roof and weatherize the exterior, we did not have adequate funds to continue. Within the last few months another anonymous donor generously provided the funds to allow us to move forward and complete the renovations. We could not be more grateful. This is the timeline... December 2019, submit permits to Baltimore City Early spring 2020, begin construction OPENING Summer 2020 The Catholic Review interviewed Carol Clews, CPC's Executive Director, and an article is featured in the November 14th edition. Here is a link: Catholic Review Article Wait for news on how you can continue to support Howard St. We are planning to cover the wall we share with Planned Parenthood in prayer. Details in an upcoming newsletter. Please pray for a smooth, uneventful construction process and a GRAND OPENING in the summer of 2020. Put Howard St. on every possible prayer list!!

Tracey Tiernan--Keynote Speaker

We were delighted to have Tracey Tiernan of 95.1 SHINE-FM spend the evening with us. Tracey has been a familiar voice on the air in Baltimore for over 17 years. She also serves as a church worship leader at Bridgeway Community Church . Tracey shared her very personal story of heartbreak and redemption. She spoke with courage and her message resonated with both women and men. We got a "two for one"! Tracey's husband Pastor Gary Coiro of Bridgeway Community Church delivered the closing prayer. The happy and handsome couple are pictured to the left. 

Video Presentations

Each year we try to include a video presentation as part of our program. This year Alice Steck, Center Coordinator at St. Rita's in Dundalk, gave us a center tour. Alice detailed all of the services we provide to over 1,000 women each year. We also heard from Brandy. She is a mom who visited one of our centers 19 years ago. Brandy tells a heartwarming story of choosing life! Please take the time to view the videos below.

Brandy & Brandon's Story

Perry Hall Baptist GEMS

‌ ‌

The GEMS (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior) program at Perry Hall Baptist Church teaches girls from 2nd to 5th grade how to actively live out their faith in Jesus. These wonderful young girls created over 400 note cards with words of encouragement and prayers for CPC moms. These sweet cards are included with everything we give to moms. Our hope is that moms and their children will feel covered in love and prayer because of these special girls and the way they live out their faith.
