Resources for Expectant Women and Mothers

The Catholic Church Supports All Women-in-Need

The Church interacts daily with women in unexpected pregnancies; every woman’s situation is different, yet one thing is always the same – an abortion is never the answer. The Catholic Church has always provided a safe haven for expectant women and remains poised to provide aid to all women-in-need through real assistance and educational resources.

Any woman – regardless of age, religious belief or affiliation, marital status or immigration status – who is pregnant and in need, can come to the Catholic Church and we will provide the services and supports needed to carry the baby to term and beyond, regardless of the ability to pay. No one will ever be turned away from life-affirming care. In addition, any women struggling with post-abortive issues is also welcomed to the Church for care and healing.

Below are links to these support services as provided by each diocese in Illinois. Together, we can change Illinois’ culture, support mothers in need and welcome all new lives.
