Resources

At Lily of the Valley Catholic Ministry, our vision is that all families have the prayers and resources they need to feel supported during difficult early life circumstances. In order to fulfill this vision, we are pleased to offer a variety of resources that align with our values and mission. These include online support groups where families can connect, share experiences, and find comfort in a community of faith. Additionally, we provide recommended books and other materials that offer spiritual guidance and emotional support. We hope these resources help you feel surrounded by prayer, love, and understanding as you navigate your journey.
