“An unexpected pregnancy can be a difficult and frightening time, and it’s important that your friend knows you

are thinking of her and supporting her… Your support might be the only support she receives. Even if we never know how, the smallest

things we do can change someone’s life.” - USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities “10 Ways to Support Her

When She’s Unexpectedly Expecting

We pray for couples longing for a child that God may strengthen and comfort them as they strive to

follow his plan.
