How can we, like the Blessed Mother, lovingly support mothers in welcoming and caring for God's gift of life?
Walking with Moms in Need is a nationwide, parish-based initiative to increase support for pregnant and parenting mothers in need. At our parish, we are working to ensure that any woman who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, or parenting in difficult circumstances, can turn to Saint John Vianney Catholic Church and be connected with the resources she needs. Our volunteers have the privilege of accompanying these moms through their motherhood journey, offering them authentic Christian friendship and ongoing support.
If you are a mom in need of help, you are invited to attend one of our meetings to meet our volunteers and learn how we might be able to assist you. At these meetings, we offer:
- Valuable practical education on a variety of topics designed for mothers, punctuated by prayer and spiritual support
- Encouragement in a community of supportive moms who want to help you gain skills, wisdom, and a robust Christian faith as your anchor
- Complimentary supervision of your babies or preschoolers during our meetings, provided there is adequate space and pre-registration
- Opportunity for fellowship with other moms going through similar trials & experiences
- An appointment with our Social Services team to assess further ways we may be able to help you with resources and material needs
Beginning September 3, 2026, these meetings will take place on the first and third Thursday of the month from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM. To attend and to learn more, please click the ” Form for Moms in Need” below. Someone on our team will connect with you shortly.
