At Sacred Heart Parish we have joined this nationwide effort entitled, Walking with Moms in Need (WWMN). This initiative is a process through which Catholic parishes and communities "walk in the shoes" of local pregnant and parenting women in need.
Our Parish has begun to assess, expand, and communicate resources to pregnant moms and families in need. Everyone should know how to help moms under challenging circumstances.
“Don't forget, it was the Catholic Church that helped start the pro-life movement after Roe v. Wade and it's going to be the Catholic Church that is going to need to be at the center of the reforms that are now necessary.” - Brian Burch
While not trying to turn Catholic parishes into pregnancy centers, we can support local pregnancy centers where they exist and find and share other resources with pregnant and parenting women.
If you would like to be involved in the Walking with Moms in Need group please get in touch with Abby Jones at 989-772-1385 or at ajones@sha.net.

Thank you for taking a stand for the most vulnerable among us.
The Catholic Church’s position on abortion is clear. In the magisterial document Donum Vitae (The Gift of Life) the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith affirmed that, “The human being is to be respected and treated as a person from the moment of conception; and therefore from that same moment his rights as a person must be recognized, among which in the first place is the inviolable right of every innocent human being to life,” (Sec I.1) Direct abortion, or the intentional killing of a human being living in the womb, is always seriously immoral because as persons the right-to-life is the most basic and fundamental right we possess. Even in light of this clear teaching, some questions that afflict people of conscience include:
