• 40 Days for Life - an internationally coordinated 40-day campaign that aims to end abortion locally through prayer and fasting, community outreach, and a peaceful all-day vigil in front of abortion businesses. Learn more.
• Gabriel Project - volunteers act as good Samaritans, friends and prayer partners for pregnant women and young families in need of assistance, including providing basic household and baby items. The group connects families with community partners to meet additional needs. Holy Rosary’s meetings are on 2nd Thursdays at 9:30am in the Atrium Conference Room. This chapter works alongside others in our diocese. Learn more.
• Walking with Moms in Need - 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. Learn more.
