Walking with Moms (WWM) is a Catholic ministry, recommended by the USCCB in 2020, whose purpose is to assess, expand, and communicate resources to pregnant moms and families in our parishes and communities.
In 2021, St Kilian revised our Respect Life ministry into a WWM ministry by connecting with The Life Center of Santa
Ana, (TLCSA), our closest Catholic pregnancy resource center, and by including our Knights of Columbus to work with "dads" in need.
St Kilian Walking with Moms (and Dads) continues work under the mentorship of Megan Morris, the Executive Director of
TLCSA to help families in both communities. We have several success stories of moms and dads who have made good choices for life, and who continue to reach out for ongoing support.
