Crisis Pregnancies
Catholic Family Services has a host of support services for parents experiencing an unplanned pregnancy. Please click to learn more.
The Mother Teresa Endowment is a fund established by the Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls and implemented by Catholic Family Services.
It provides financial assistance to parents experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and having limited financial resources. The goal is
that no woman in our diocese has an abortion because of a lack of financial assistance. Applications are available at each Catholic
Family Services office. You may also call our office to request an application. Click for more information.
In addition, following is a listing of other resources found within the diocese.
DISCLAIMER: The following listings are for various organizations that provide services to families. The ministries and agencies are listed for your convenience.
With the exception of Catholic Family Services, the fact that a certain organization is contained in this list does not in any way signify endorsement by the diocese,
as some organizations may take positions in opposition to the diocese or the teachings of the Catholic Church.
