How We Serve
We believe in the sanctity of life and see the need to protect the lives of the unborn. We offer free pregnancy tests, limited ultrasounds, education, and support to women facing unintended pregnancies through the Women’s Centers of Ohio. Our Holy Family Prenatal Care Team provides prenatal care to Medicaid eligible women. Through our Baby Boutiques and education programs, parents can receive baby items, such as cribs, car seats, diapers, and wipes.
Our Go for the Gold program helps students learn effective ways to communicate, form healthy relationships, and build their own self-confidence. This sets them up to make better choices as they become adults and start their own families. We also offer support for individuals and couples through our Marriage Works! Ohio services. Our professional counselors have received recognition for their work and the classes they offer.
Through Women’s Centers of Ohio and Holy Family Prenatal Care, mothers and fathers can register for classes to help prepare them for being parents. Our Holy Family Prenatal Care team offers classes about pregnancy, labor, and parenting. We also have staff and volunteers who work as mentors for mothers and fathers, to help support them through the joys and challenges of parenting.
We are dedicated to building a culture where life is valued, protected, and celebrated. This commitment drives every aspect of our work, from supporting women in unexpected pregnancies to strengthening families and empowering youth.
We meet every person where they are, with love, respect, and non-judgmental care. Whether it’s a woman facing a difficult decision, a teen searching for direction, or a couple seeking to restore their relationship, we are here to walk alongside them with grace and understanding.
Knowledge leads to freedom. We empower individuals and families with the tools, resources, and guidance they need to make informed, life-affirming decisions that foster health, growth, and success.
Our faith compels us to act boldly, standing firm in our mission to transform lives and families. We labor humbly but confidently, knowing that our work is part of a larger purpose to glorify God and serve others.
We are dedicated to creating generational change by strengthening the foundation of families and equipping youth to live with integrity and purpose. By saving lives, nurturing relationships, and fostering personal growth, we are shaping
a brighter future for communities.
Our mission extends to all individuals, regardless of background or circumstance. We celebrate diversity and strive to be a unifying presence in every community we serve, reflecting God’s inclusive love and care.
