OUR MISSION

Mary's Shelter empowers and equips vulnerable teen mothers and their babies for
lives of hope, dignity and self-sufficiency.

PHILOSOPHY

Mary's Shelter respects individuals at all stages of life and fosters loving, family-centered and faith-based values. Residents’ chastity is promoted while premarital sex, contraception and abortion are not condoned.

OBJECTIVE

Mary's Shelter strives to break the negative cycle associated with teen pregnancy: abortion, high-risk births with premature and low birth-weight babies, interrupted education, repeat teen pregnancy, poverty, dependence on public assistance and child abuse and neglect in the next generation.
