FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Walking with Moms in Need?
Driven by the nation-wide United States Catholic Conference of Bishops’ Walking with Moms in Need initiative, the Detroit Walking with Moms in Need initiative is a partnership between the Archdiocese of Detroit and Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan which equips and assists Catholic parishes and parishioners in raising awareness about resources that provide assistance to pregnant and parenting moms in need. The initiative seeks to make each parish in the Archdiocese a place where moms and their babies are welcomed and supported and where the dignity of every human life is upheld and valued.

Is Walking with Moms in Need a shelter or clinic?
No – Walking with Moms in Need is not a shelter or clinic.  Walking with Moms in Need is a community-wide resource initiative to help pregnant and parenting moms in need throughout our parishes and our neighborhoods. As Pope Francis reminds us, our parishes need to be “islands of mercy in the midst of a sea of indifference.” Everyone in the parish community should know where to refer a pregnant woman in need.

Was there a reason for launching this initiative now?
Yes, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) established “Walking with Moms in Need: A Year of Service,” to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Evangelium vitae (The Gospel of Life).

Will the Walking with Mom's in Need resources be available for a limited time only?
Yes and No – let us explain. Only the nationwide effort “Walking with Moms in Need: A Year of Service,” is for a limited time [March 25, 2020, to March 25, 2021].  The resources, relationships, partnerships, and efforts created throughout the year, will be available long after the service year concludes.

What parish, organization or group is organizing our Southeast Michigan community-wide resources?
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.
