Blessed Beginnings
The Blessed Beginnings Pregnancy and Parenting Educational Center is committed to the sanctity of human life, especially in its most vulnerable early stages. As a pro-life agency that honors every single human being with the dignity and respect they deserve, we are dedicated to providing the support and education young parents who choose life need to have happy, healthy babies and children. Our Blessed Beginnings program focuses on the critical time period from the woman’s pregnancy through the age of five—a child’s most formative years.

Individual Education and Consultations
Ongoing parental support is essential, so case managers coordinate and guide moms and dads over several years through our case management model.

We have volunteer mentors available that can walk alongside clients to share their own parenting experience and help new or struggling parents know they are not alone as they work to increase their knowledge and skills.
