Walking with Moms in Need is a nationwide parish-based initiative that equips communities to care for pregnant and parenting mothers in need. Whether you’re looking to get started or are already involved, we invite you to join the Archdiocese of Cincinnati WWMIN network. Through this network, you can connect with other ministers, receive guidance, and grow through monthly formation and sharing.
