Chelsy Gomez, Program Consultant, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, introduces the USCCB’s new pastoral initiative to increase support for pregnant and parenting mothers in need in our Catholic parishes. She shares how parishes can implement the Walking with Moms in Need process locally and renew the Church’s commitment to serve and accompany mothers in difficult circumstances. Chelsy also talks through common misconceptions, concerns, and questions about bringing Walking with Moms to a parish or diocese, and shares examples and stories from around the country.

This episode of Catholics Across the Aisle was recorded live as a presentation at the 2022 Florida Culture of Life Conference, hosted by the Diocese of St. Petersburg. The audio has been edited and formatted for this podcast.
