As Catholics, we believe in respect for all life from conception to natural death. Through prayer and education, these Saint Pius ministries and our community partners encourage involvement in organizations and causes that not only support the Catholic view of the sanctity of life but also the many individuals and families impacted by their work.
Show your support for Women's Care Center, Christ Child Society and Hannah's House by donating to this year's baby shower!
Saint Pius X partners with Women's Care Center by providing support and resources to help women and men choose life.
Women's Care Center helps pregnant young women to have healthy babies, become better parents and take the first steps to self-sufficiency.
A donation bin is located in the Parish Life Center throughout the year for parishioners who wish to share something with the babies and toddlers.
Thank you for your donations. We are grateful to the volunteers who deliver donations to the center.

Right to Life Michiana promotes life through education and advocacy. The organization's goal is to protect all innocent human life—the unborn, the infirm or handicapped and the aged. It also helps make women aware that there are alternatives to abortion. Counselors assist women in crisis pregnancies, and the organization can refer both women and men to counseling to help heal the emotional scars caused by abortion.
