Bishop blesses new Birthright location

by The Catholic Times May 18, 2023

Bishop Earl Fernandes blesses the new Birthright office in Columbus at 3445 Great Western Blvd. and some of its volunteers on Wednesday, May 3. Birthright provides free services to expectant mothers in need of a smile, someone to listen, pregnancy tests, maternity clothes, baby items, information and referrals for other needs such as medical, housing and social assistance. The Birthright office is open from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturdays by appointment. Because Birthright is totally funded by grants and donations, financial contributions are always welcome in person or online at www.birthright.com/columbusohmain. A number of parishes in the diocese also provide support with donations of baby items. Birthright, a nondenominational organization founded in Toronto in 1968 to assist women facing unplanned pregnancies, was brought to Columbus in 1972 and has had several locations over the past 50 years. Most recently, the office was on West Mount Street before the recent move. Photos courtesy Abigail Pitones
