Real Impact

You know your community best. You see its deepest needs on a daily basis. This makes your parish the perfect candidate to be a beacon of hope for young families seeking support.

“I have always had a heart for moms and babies, I can put this feeling into action through Walking with Moms in Need.”  – Kathleen with IHM’s WWMIN Initiative

Where Do I Start?

Our efforts should always begin with prayer. Gather a team of individuals to pray over your community and your parish, asking for wisdom and guidance for how you can serve.
