We're getting closer!

Stay Tuned to Bless the Walls!

Despite various permitting and weather delays, the construction continues! We push forward with the plan to open late this year.

Stayed tuned for an opportunity in coming weeks to visit the construction site and "bless" the walls by covering them with your your favorite Scripture quote. We'll keep you posted!

Now Hiring! Applications due May 20

Now Hiring Daytime Imas (Housemothers)

In preparation for opening the home in late 2023, we're now hiring two Part-time Daytime Imas (Housemothers). Applications accepted until May 20.

The Ima is the centerpiece of the operations within the Mater Filius house, modeling motherly love for each pregnant woman who comes to the house looking for help. The word Ima is an Aramaic word for “mother,” as Jesus called his mother, the Virgin Mary.

Please see job posting for full details and application instructions on our website.

Stay tuned to this E-News and our Get Involved page on our website to learn when we open the hiring process for remaining paid positions (Child Enrichment Program and Overnight Imas).
