You can still sign up for Wednesday’s Zoom session on a new outreach from our Community Support Services.

Catholic Charities and the Office of Family and Life Ministries are launching a new outreach aimed at supporting mothers in need and their families. Walking with Moms in Need will recruit and train teams from local parishes to walk alongside these women by providing material support, parenting skills and knowledge, and, just as importantly, friendship. This will follow a model similar to that we already have with parish teams working with families arriving as refugees. We anticipate teams and the women they serve will develop long-term relationships that enrich everyone involved.

As an employee of Catholic Charities, please consider attending this info session on the outreach:

August 3, 2 p.m., Zoom. To receive a link for the virtual meeting, email family@archlou.org.

According to Cydnei Dean, director of our Community Support Services outreach, this initiative was originally introduced by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2020 and was championed in the Archdiocese of Louisville by Catholic Charities and the Office of Family and Life Ministries. However, it was not implemented due to the pandemic.
