While are mission is simple our undertaking is complex. Currently serving as a pregnancy resource center for all pregnant woman our faith-based mission to provide an alternative to abortion, to provide pregnant teens with a place of temporary shelter, to increase the number of healthy babies born and to decrease the high infant mortality rate. Our aim is to change the lives of these adolescents who have chosen LIFE for their babies.
As we are in the midst of renovations and design to meet state regulations and getting licensed, Gianna house draws much support from the local catholic community, including parishioners and staff at St. Veronica Parish and its pastor, Fr. Stanley Pachla, but more financial support and volunteers are needed to turn our long-term vision into a reality.
Without the resources such as Gianna House, pregnant teenagers are prone to falling prey to the culture that relies on abortion as a solution. Without Gianna House to offer a safe, secure and loving environment to them, they will turn to those who will offer the quick fix of abortion and leave them with a lifetime of regret, this is why we are so anxious to have Gianna House become a reality
