Walking with Moms in the Archdiocese of Miami

OVERVIEW

The 25th anniversary year of Evangelium Vitae gives us a wonderful opportunity to assess, expand, and communicate resources to pregnant moms and families in need. Parishes across the country, through the support of their bishops and pastors, are invited to join a nationwide effort entitled, Walking with Moms in Need: A Year of Service.

The Archdiocese of Miami will be officially participating from July 16, 2020 through October 31, 2021. Through this initiative, parishes are asked to complete a simple inventory of the resources currently available in their assigned Archdiocesan Pregnancy Help Centers, assess the results and identify gaps, and plan and implement a parish response based on their findings. The Year of Service for the Archdiocese of Miami is broken up into 7 phases of parish action. The seven phases include:

  • Phase 1: Announce the Year of Service and Build a Core Team (July 16, 2020)
  • Phase 2: Launch the Parish Inventory Process (by September 26, 2020)
  • Phase 3: Share Inventory Results and Begin Assessment and Planning (by November 1, 2020)
  • Phase 4: Announce and Commit to your Parish Response (by December 12, 2020)
  • Phase 5: Implement Parish Plans (by January 31, 2021)
  • Phase 6: Measure and Evaluate the Implementation of Parish Plans (by July 16, 2021)
  • Phase 7: Celebrate Parish Plans and Respect Life Ministry at the National Congreso pro Vida in Miami! (October 29-31, 2021)

NCCW Convention Postponed until 2021

After much prayer and discernment, the National Council of Catholic Women, has made an informed decision to postpone our  Centennial Convention 2020 until  August 25 – 28, 2021, when we are able to celebrate together safely.  Our concern for your health and wellbeing as well as that of our partners was the primary reason for this decision. 

If you have already registered for the 2020 Convention, an NCCW staff member will be calling you in the next few weeks to discuss your refund. 

We are ever so grateful for your continued support and we look forward to celebrating together in 2021!!!
