“Giving Tuesday means that we will be able to continue to offer all of our services for free. Our services include pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, STD testing, Pap/Pelvic and breast exams.”
Today, we all have an opportunity to give alms to the poor by supporting charities and non-profits financially, and I feel blessed to give that support to pregnancy resource centers.

“There’s something special about the fall that makes us want to celebrate and have parties. He pointed out that the cooler weather drives us indoors and gives us reasons to share the warmth with each other. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years: these holiday memories are shared with family, friends, and loved ones. People love sharing with each other…”

“Mary’s fiat was more than just a yes! Mary agreed to follow God’s plan, even though she did not understand where it would take her. The women that receive services from our nation’s pregnancy resource centers are often in similar predicaments to Mary, though often less willing to say yes.”
“Imagine if, instead of throwing up our hands at the distance between our capabilities and the power and preparation that a situation called for, we responded like Kevin did?

Holy Week is a beautiful time to unite our lives to the Cross so that our sufferings may be glorified through His Resurrection.
