Celebrating One Year of Walking with Moms in Need Walking with Moms in Need officially launched on March 25, 2020. This date marked the 25th anniversary of the papal encyclical Evangelium vitae (The Gospel of Life) and the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. At that time no one could have foreseen the deep and lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our Church and our nation. While the pandemic sadly overshadowed much of our initial momentum, it has also provided us with new and exciting opportunities to adapt and expand this important initiative to meet the challenges of our unique times. We have been continually inspired by the parishes and dioceses that continue to embrace this important effort and refuse to be discouraged. Their dedication to serving mothers in need truly answers St. John Paul II's call to build a culture of life and civilization of love.

Coming Soon! Updated Resources While the specific dates and timelines included in the Walking with Moms in Need resources were always intended to be adaptable to local circumstances, COVID-19 has drastically increased the need for flexibility. To assist you in your efforts, we are updating all the materials for perennial use. The content of the updated resources remains the same, but specific date references and timelines will be eliminated to provide greater ease-of-use and avoid confusion. These FREE, updated resources will be available online. The updated Parish Action Guide and editable sample timeline are available now in English and will soon be available in Spanish!

Monthly Prayer Intention This month, join us in praying that St. Joseph's witness will inspire us to support mothers in need. Use our prayer guide to reflect and go deeper.

Prayer Cards Available! Our Prayer for Pregnant Mothers is available for purchase as a beautiful prayer card, featuring Our Lady of Guadalupe. Get yours today!

It's Not too Late to Start Walking with Moms! If you have yet to begin Walking with Moms in your parish or diocese, there is still time!  Many dioceses and parishes have had to re-launch the initiative and others have had to delay their start.
