Mary’s House

THERE IS SO MUCH GOODNESS, KINDNESS, AND LOVE OF GOD SHOWN BY THE PEOPLE IN THIS DIOCESE!

Abortion is illegal in Louisiana and women who would have previously chosen abortion are now considering other options. Mary’s House, located in Shreveport, provides early prenatal care, education, and guidance to pregnant women in an atmosphere of God’s love.

To you and me, it seems like pregnancy is a happy time and no big deal to find a doctor, clothes for the baby or even a car seat. We have many people who care for us and want to celebrate with us.

When a woman is in an unexpected pregnancy situation, it can be scary. Not having support means the mom feels alone and afraid.

You volunteer time, purchase baby items as gifts and donate money for the operation of Mary’s House. Because of your support, Mary’s House can collaborate with churches that host Embrace Grace for single and pregnant women. Unmarried pregnant moms are encouraged at their Mary’s House appointments to join Embrace Grace during pregnancy.

Have you been to an Embrace Grace Baby Shower yet? At the conclusion of the twelve weeks of classes, the young women who have attended the classes are blessed by the parishioners of the church hosting the classes. It’s wonderful for these young women to receive so many needed gifts, but what makes it so special is when people they don’t even know arrive at the shower to celebrate them and their babies!

This baby shower leaves a lasting impression of God’s love through his followers on the hearts of these young women. Not only do they learn about Jesus’ love for them, they experience God’s love during Embrace Grace.

That’s why you’re so important!

When she is loved at Mary’s House and guided to people who continue to love her, she learns that she is not alone. Your support of Mary’s House makes it possible for single pregnant women to take the first step toward a changed life with God and in our community.
