PREPARES - AN INITIATIVE OF WASHINGTON STATE BISHOPS
PREPARES – Pregnancy and Parenting Support – is an initiative of the Washington State Bishops to provide a nurturing response and promise to mothers and fathers who have chosen life. A promise of support and care from pregnancy to their child’s fifth birthday. Regardless of religious beliefs, this parish based program offers low-income families vital life affirming services.
As February approaches we wanted to let you know about the upcoming first annual PREPARES Valentine Appeal. The bishops are launching a statewide fundraising campaign to help expand the reach of PREPARES into more parishes and communities. Please keep the appeal in your thoughts and prayers as we invite people to open their heart and share Valentine love with mothers and babies in need.
