The Women's Center. Supporting the Women's Center can help provide answers...and hope as it has done for more than 63,000 clients over the past 30 years. Facing an unplanned pregnancy can be extremely stressful. Women may experience feelings of panic. Maybe they don’t have anyone to confide in or don’t know where to go for help. The Women’s Center is here for them and cares about the physical and emotional health of each one of its clients. Free pregnancy tests, free ultrasounds and free supportive counseling.
Hannah B. says the person she spoke with was very good at listening. Read Hannah's and other's testimonials.

Welcome the Stranger
We are excited to provide you with an update on the Welcome the Stranger Parish-Family Liaison Program. As you may have heard, we've been paired with a young family of three with a baby on the way. We are grateful for the support from our community so far! Thank you for helping us hit our initial fundraising goal of $10,000. However, after careful evaluation, we believe that this amount may not be sufficient to cover the family's expenses for the intended duration of six months. Please use the button below to follow information on our website or continue to follow the eNews and parish bulletin for ways we can continue showing healing, hope and hospitality as we Welcome the Stranger!
