Pregnant? Need Help?
We, the members of this church community, see in the birth of each baby a fresh expression of God's unfailing love. For the love of God and each and every one of His children, we offer immediate and practical help to any woman faced with what might seem to be a crisis pregnancy. The only condition is that the child be allowed to live.

Corporal Works of Mercy
In Matthew 24 (with echoes of Isaiah 58:6-7), Jesus reminds us that at the end of our lives, he will judge us by the principle, "whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me." In Catholic tradition, that Scripture passage has been distilled into the seven corporal works of mercy:
1. Feed the hungry
2. Give drink to the thirsty
3. Clothe the naked
4. Shelter the homeless
5. Visit the sick
6. Visit those in prison7. Bury the dead
Spiritual Works of Mercy
1. Counseling the doubtful
2. Instructing the ignorant
3. Admonishing sinners
4. Comforting the afflicted
5. Forgiving offenses
6. Bearing wrongs patiently
7. Praying for the living and the dead
