CATHOLIC CHARITIES WEST MICHIGAN

Walking With Moms in Need

A Community Initiative

A mother in need may be closer than you realize- perhaps in your parish, your community, or your home. Inspired by St. John Paul II’s call to build a culture of life, Walking with Moms in Need works to increase community outreach to pregnant and parenting women facing all sorts of difficulties.

Every need is different for every community. Walking with Moms in Need is an initiative to help you address the needs of young families in your neighborhood. We’re here to work alongside you and your parish as you pioneer your own services tailored to help the parents and children in your community.

WWMIN Training - November 20

Join us to learn how you can start a Walking with Moms in Need initiative in your parish! On Thursday, Nov. 20, Catholic Charities West Michigan will be hosting a training for the WWMIN initiative at Immaculate Heart of Mary parish from 1-4 p.m.
 
The training covers the five phases of developing the WWMIN resource to serve moms through your parish, including learning how to build a core outreach team.
 
RSVP for the training or direct any questions to Sally Cranson at scranson@ccwestmi.org by November 13.
 

Take the First Step

Ready to help your parish become a resource for moms in need? We’d love to walk you through next steps. Reach out to us today to see what Walking With Moms in Need could look like at your parish!

Getting Involved

Your community and its needs are unique. Your parish has the special opportunity to tailor services and solutions that fit the needs of your neighborhood.

There is not a one-size-fits-all model to helping families in need. The Walking with Moms in Need initiative recognizes your parish’s unique ability to meet families where they are at, addressing the needs of our communities at a local level.

When in need, a family’s first stop should be the church. Help prepare your parish to meet the needs of parents by getting involved today.

Additional Resources

Walking with Moms in Need is a parish-based outreach program. Support for parishes in their efforts are provided at the diocesan level through the Office of Respect Life and Catholic Charities West Michigan. This support includes:

  • Webinars to help guide parishes through the process of integrating this ministry into the life of the church.
  • On-going support and resources including trainings, posters, cards, and networking opportunities with other parishes.
