Love & support
At St. Clare's, we believe in equipping our moms with every tool they need for a healthy and fulfilling future. Abstinence will be lovingly taught, and Natural Family Planning training will be offered. Each mom will have her own private space, and outdoor play areas are available for toddlers.
We warmly welcome women of all faith backgrounds — our moms do not need to be Catholic, nor will they ever be pressured to become Catholic. All are welcome to worship at the church of their choice.
By the time you complete your stay at St. Clare's Home of Joyful Hope, you will leave feeling confident, capable, and ready for independent living. Our program is designed to help you bond with your baby, reduce prenatal stress, and deliver a healthy child — while also building the practical, emotional, and spiritual skills needed to care for your family and manage your own household.
Through the patronage of Our Lady of Joyful Hope, we are committed to walking alongside you every step of the way — ensuring you and your child have a safe, loving, and hopeful foundation for the future.
