Foster Care awareness & Support
Whether you are called, curious, or just want to be supportive, we work together to support families in our community.
Pro-Life, Pro-Family
"As Catholics who profess the Gospel of Life, we are committed not only to the right for every child to be born into this world, but also to help nurture, protect and sustain each of these young lives as they grow and mature." -Bishop Joseph Siegel
Diocesan Commitment to Foster Care and Support
Bishop Siegel discusses the growing need for Foster and Adopting Families in our area, as well as what you can do to offer support and encourage awareness. This Diocesan initiative is what led to the formation of our Ministry at St. John's.
"Many people who are not being called to be foster parents wrestle with finding what their role is in supporting vulnerable children in their community. ...CarePortal [gives the] church a tangible way to be the hands and feet of Christ to children and an opportunity where everyone can do something to help. ...the CarePortal platform also [gives them] the opportunity to work with other churches in the area.
CarePortal is bringing the united body of Christ together to make an impact in the lives of vulnerable children in [Indiana]. It is more than a bed or new clothes; it is life transformation for families in our communities."
CarePortal’s role is to help mobilize action neighbor-to-neighbor; to connect vulnerable children and families with caring neighbors in their own community. For both prevention and protection, the ultimate goal is for children and families to build a meaningful connection that can lead to on-going supportive relationships.
