Walking With Moms In Need: A Year of Service

WHAT IS WALKING WITH MOMS IN NEED?

Walking with Moms in Need is a time of service in which Catholic parishes and communities "walk in the shoes" of local pregnant and parenting women in need.

Everyone should know how to help moms in difficult circumstances.

While not trying to turn Catholic parishes into pregnancy centers, we can support local pregnancy centers where they exist, and we can also find and share other resources with pregnant and parenting women.

And where there are few local resources, we can create our own, based on the gifts of the parish community!

We hope you and your parish will join us in Walking with Moms in Need.

A Catholic music educator for over three decades, Anne is a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, a relentless advocate for the arts in Catholic schools, and a recent quarterfinalist for the 2026 Grammy Music Educator Award. Her story, however, is n...
