St. Gianna Molla Outreach Pregnancy Center
Expectant moms get special help at St. Gianna Molla Room
By Kathleen Johnson, Western New York Catholic
May is the month that officially celebrates motherhood, even though mothers celebrate the miracle of their children every day of life.
The St. Gianna Molla Room in Buffalo celebrates life by helping expectant mothers with various needs. To expectant parents who are struggling financially, the St. Gianna Molla Room offers necesities to help provide for their infants. Cheryl Calire, pictured with Bishop Edward U. Kmiec, coordinator and peer counselor at the St. Gianna Molla Room, gives participants support and pragmatic advice. She also is able to make referrals to local agencies for further help.
The St. Gianna Molla Room was founded by Judy Gorman, former director of the Office of Pro-Life Activities in the Diocese of Buffalo. When Denis Coakley became director of the Office of Pro-Life Activities in August 2009, he sought too renew the focus of the program. read more...
