We attended the LA Life March, which began with a beautiful Mass at St. Joseph’s Cathedral!

We were honored to stand with our community to share about our life-saving services, including adoption support and Sanctuary for Life housing for homeless pregnant women, and to be a voice for the most vulnerable.
