WE WERE BORN READY
Mobilizing Catholics to serve women, children, and families
We are ready to stand in the gap to help women and children and families.
On January 22, the California Bishops issued a statement committing to a vision of support for women, children and families. This is who we are as Catholics. For more than 2000 years, Catholics have cared for the most vulnerable by founding the first hospitals, orphanages, and social safety nets. We provide food, drink, clothing, shelter, healthcare, visit the sick and imprisoned, comfort the afflicted and the dying. We were born ready.
Be part of the Solution for life. Give today to Options United.
The Catholic bishops of California have pledged to unite our state’s life-affirming pregnancy shelters, centers, and clinics, creating an accessible statewide network to accompany women facing challenging pregnancies and in the early years of parenthood.
One Number-One Solution (ONE) provides a simple pathway to connect the abundant safety net resources in California supported by people of faith and goodwill throughout the state to those who need them most.
“I am not afraid, I was born to do this!”
—St. Joan of Arc
