Walking with Moms in Need  is a nationwide, pastoral effort led by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to encourage increased outreach to pregnant and parenting mothers in need. With the support of their local bishop, parishes are are asked to embark on a yearlong journey to place themselves in the shoes of a mother in need. As part of this process, each parish is encouraged to complete a simple inventory of the resources currently available in their local area, assess these results and identify gaps, and plan and implement a parish response based on their findings.
