Thank you for being a voice for the preborn and the most vulnerable.

A significant number of decisions impacting our ministries and human life itself are made by our elected officials in the Maryland General Assembly.
 
Among the many issues expected to be taken up by our state legislature in early 2024:

• Legalizing physician assisted suicide
• Legalizing human composting (this is not “green” burial)
• Programs impacting our Catholic schools
• Budget and tax decisions that would impact the most vulnerable (elderly, low-income, immigrants, etc.)
• Youth justice.

Voters will decide if abortion will become a constitutional right via a November 2024 ballot referendum. Abortion already is legal through nine months and is publicly funded (in 2020, Maryland taxes paid for nearly 10,000 abortions). The law could quell efforts to put meaningful protections in place for women and girls. Voter education will be paramount. 

 To stay updated on the latest bills please visit Maryland Right To Life.

Assistance for Expectant Mothers and Families

• Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington provides housing, medical care and counseling to expectant mothers as well as direct assistance to families in need.

Pregnancy Resource Center in Waldorf

• Catherine Foundation's  mission is to help men and women make informed decisions regarding pregnancy, sexual health, and family. We strongly believe our services should be given out of love, with no judgement and provided to our clients confidentially and free of charge.  

Project Rachel Ministry

• Project Rachel continues to grow its local and regional ministries that encourage spiritual and emotional healing after abortion. Project Rachel offers reflection opportunities, support groups, and referrals to mental health counseling throughout the Archdiocese of Washington.
