From the Pro-Life Secretariat, USCCB: The pandemic has reaffirmed the need for the Church to come alongside and accompany pregnant and parenting mothers facing difficulties, especially in these trying times. To reflect our response to this ongoing obligation, Walking with Moms in Need is no longer using the tagline “A Year of Service” and has an updated logo available on our website. You are asked to use the new logo and the updated title in communications and promotions. Updated resources are coming soon and should be available by March 25. We will continue to provide support and resources to help you better serve mothers in need in your local area.
