PREPARES

Pregnancy and Parenting Support (PREPARES) is a statewide initiative of the Catholic Bishops of Washington State.  

PREPARES

Catholic Community Services of Western Washington, Catholic Charities serving Central Washington and Catholic Charities of Eastern Washington provide pregnancy and parenting support services with substantial support from Catholic parishes across Washington State. PREPARES programs serve all families from pregnancy to their child's fifth birthday. All are welcome to participate in the free support that PREPARES provides to pregnant and new moms and their families.

Support

PREPARES supports the commitment to the sanctity of human life, especially in its most vulnerable early stages. It seeks not only to assure healthy births and avoid the tragedy of abortion, but also to provide emotional support to nurture healthy and flourishing relationships that uphold the vision of the family as the essential unit of society.

Guidance for Beginning and End of Life Decisions

Welcoming a new baby or nearing the end of life involves a number of decisions about medical and spiritual care. The Washington State Catholic Bishops provide guidance and helpful forms for individuals facing choices about the sanctity of life at its beginning or in the final days before entering eternal life with our loving God.
