Walking with Moms in Need

The Walking with Moms in Need efforts throughout southeast Michigan is a joint venture partnership between the Archdiocese of Detroit (AOD) and Catholic Charities of southeast Michigan. As the charitable arm for the corporal works of mercy throughout the AOD, Catholic Charities of southeast Michigan is honored and excited to help develop this project for many years to come.

Our Family of Parishes Walking with Moms in Need Team

Would you recognize a woman with an unplanned pregnancy or one who is struggling to parent alone if you sat next to her in church?  If you could recognize her need, would you want to reach out in love to help her?  This is your chance!  Our Rochester Area Catholic Family of Parishes has launched our local chapter of  Walking with Moms In Need!   Our core team is gearing up to provide accompaniment and assistance to pregnant women and single mothers in need.  We hope to provide:  new mother mentorship, babysitting, personalized layettes, transportation, help accessing services, breast-feeding and parenting tips, loving support, and community.

What we are able to offer depends on who joins our team.  If you have a special interest, knowledge or skill and want to contribute to our effort—or if you simply have a big heart and desire to help, we want to hear from you!  Got a little love to give?   Contact:  Lisa Juriga at jljuriga@comcast.net.

Hey Moms — do you need a little support?

Are you a mom that could use some accompaniment?  Parenting needs go beyond physical elements like diapers and wipes.  Sometimes we need emotional support, prayer support, or ideas for resources when we are stretched in our ability to problem-solve specific issues our children are facing…. Let us help try to meet your needs or refer you to a resource that can.  Call our Family of Parishes Walking with Moms in Need line:  248-651-9595, ext. 460.  Refer us to a friend who might need parenting support—spread the word, we’re here to walk with you!
