They are also renovating a space in Philadelphia to support a second STAR life enrichment program for moms there, making participation more convenient. The Centers provide initial services for women experiencing crisis pregnancies and continue family support for over 3 years after the birth of the baby by assisting with basic needs and "life coaching."

If you are willing to partner with someone to pray outside West Chester Planned Parenthood during the campaign, contact Kathy Trobovic at ktrobovic@aol.com or (732) 829-9861. St. Monica's will be witnessing as a group throughout the day on Thursday, October 13.
